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

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

Rio's improvements to the core gameplay system, combined with better visuals and good music make this game the best yet in the series. However, much like the previous iterations, there are a few issues that prevent the game from living up to its full potential.

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 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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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.

Half-hearted and without any direction to speak of, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is evidence of little else than Grand Theft Auto's greatness, serving up a forgettable and muddled entry in the sandbox genre.
