Glu Mobile has launched Big Time Gangsta for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, a game that brings the urban RPG adventure genre to owners of an iDevice who can appreciate rich 3D graphics and interactive gameplay when they see it.

The plot couldn’t be more typical - player are taken into the dark back streets of a “big city” where they will experience what it means to “run turf-grabbing expeditions, face a slew of shady characters, recruit their crew, and select their tools of the trade from a vast selection of deadly weapons.”

Glu believes that it has achieved such a finely detailed 3D world that Big Time Gangsta will instill players to really want to take over the city, one block at a time.

The street battles are described as epic, and players are sure to keep coming back for more, Glu says.

Key features of Big Time Gangsta include:

Assemble Your Crew – You can’t get to the big time without a little help. Choose from some of the most deadly and insane gangstas to back you up. Run This Town – Take over an entire city one mission at a time. For every building, every block, every street - earn the cash you need to make it to the big time. Pack Serious Heat – Arm your gang with some of the most lethal weapons on the streets, from handguns and magnums to powerful machine guns.

Big Time Gangsta is immediately available as a free download from the App Store on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch requiring only iOS 3.0 or later.

The developers haven’t specified whether the free-download thing is a limited time offer, but iOS gansgta’s should get downloading now, just to make sure the deal doesn’t slip.
