At the end of October, Rockstar Studios announced that the mobile version of its smash-hit Grand Theft Auto: Vice City would be coming to Android and iOS. Now, it has announced an official release date of December 6, with a $4.99 price tag across all platforms.

The release marks the 10th anniversary of a game many remember from the Xbox and Playstation 2. This version will be enhanced for mobile screens, including updated character models, lighting, and different control options that should make the experience as smooth as possible.

The company previously released Max Payne and Grand Theft Auto III to the Store with decent reviews, and now have better hardware to work with. Let's hope that they will be able to make us fall in love with the 80's mayhem all over again.
