    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.

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

    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.

    One more of the same in a series that is already well known. If you loved the previous chapters, you'll like this too.

    Another slightly cynical but neatly executed take on the GTA format.

    If you're looking for an insane playground filled with guns and cars while on the go, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints may be an option. But it does feel like a missed oppurtunity due to awful voice and over, and that's a shame.

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

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.… Expand

    It angers me games of this crappy quality pass as acceptable for IOS. First the game is expensive but they still charge you money for weaponsIt angers me games of this crappy quality pass as acceptable for IOS. 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.… Expand
