    Although the content was a little too much for me at times, players who don't mind the junk will find it to be an excellent addition to their game collection.

    Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is not just a GTA clone but it represents a work of optimization by Gameloft, with a better control system and a lot of enjoyable missions. Rio de Janeiro is also an original setting and the sandbox-game fans should give it a try.

    It's no GTA by any means, but Gameloft have still managed to build a city worth playing in, especially if you have the new hardware to experience it in its full glory.

    The best word describing Gangstar Rio is used in the game as a fictional car brand – "Crapo". Stay away from it, chicos!

    comparing this with GTA for iDevices, I can comfortably declare this one the best game ever made on iDevices so far. Simply beyond my expectations. I particularly liked the way they created a huge city environment, it is so much fun to roam free in a stolen car... brings smile to my face :)… Expand

    This game is a fun sandbox game but the campaign is insanely hard, for months i've been stuck on the mission "Heroin, Heroine." Money is extremely hard to come by, buy killing rich folks wearing a pink collar shirt, and a suit is an easier way to get money, but still won't get you that far. This game is alright, but I probably won't play it very often.… Expand
