Gangstar: Crime City
"Gangstar: Crime City" received mixed to positive reception from critics, with praise given to the gameplay and Gameloft's efforts at bringing a "Grand Theft Auto"-like experience to mobile devices, which hasn't seen any official release from Rockstar up until the tenth anniversary mobile release of "Grand Theft Auto III" in 2011. IGN's Levi Buchanan gave "Crime City" a score of 7.4 put of 10, stating "If you can get into Gangstar without any expectation other than a reasonable facsimile of the GTA experience on the smallest screen at a bargain price, there are definitely some kicks to be had. Just keep your tongue planted firmly in cheek while playing." In a similarly positive review, Pocket Gamer also noted the game being heavily based on "Grand Theft Auto", stating "although it's not the best it could be, Gangstar: Crime City is a good stab/shot/other-violent-metaphorical-verb at turning GTA into mobile form. Solid, if not completely polished," While both reviewers noted the game's open world and missions, its stereotypical portrayal of gangsta rap and hip-hop culture was criticised and ridiculed as being cliche and tongue-in-cheek.
