    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.

    All problems aside, Gangstar Rio is a decent open-world adventure. It's not the best, but it's also not the worst.

    Borrowing a number of features from San Andreas and generally improving upon a decidedly successful formula, Gangstar Rio continues the tradition of profane, violent, sociopathic entertainment on a mobile platform.

    The Gangstar franchise is an IOS tradition at this point, known for both its open world driving and its extremely adult environment. Rio is more of the same with a few improvements.

First the game is expensive but they still charge you money for weapons and clothes. The graphics are a joke, the voice acting is bull crap, and the so called "story" is laughable. I am so sick of gameloft milking games and everybody liking them. DO NOT BUY THIS Buy the GTA mobile games, way better.… Full Review »

Money isThis 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.… Full Review »
