While we're not sure if the Android (http://www.joystiq.com/android) version of GTA 3 is as disappointing (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/20/hijacking-the-fun-grand-theft-auto-3-on-ipad/) as on iPad, it does have one perk over its iOS cousin: mods. Many have discovered modding the Android port is much like modding the PC game -- one can simply add files to the directory on the SD card.
Because the Android and PC versions are so similar, it turns out most PC mods are compatible. So it's fairly easy to add custom cars -- a souped-up taxi can be seen in the video above -- and textures, granted one is familiar with modding on the PC. One XDA developer thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392987&page=17) in particular has tons of files and custom cars, if you're a budding modder.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)New cars, textures modded into Grand Theft Auto 3 on Android (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/30/new-cars-textures-modded-into-grand-theft-auto-3-on-android/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Fri, 30 Dec 2011 05:02:00 EST.
