![]() There are several radio stations, each with a decent selection of music. Gameloft also does a good job in nailing the music in Gangstar Rio. However, it’s important to note that your experience may vary based on the model of iOS device you have, and things may not be as smooth on earlier generation systems. Gameloft also did a good job improving the building pop-up, an issue we had in previous games. In addition, the game loaded extremely quickly and the framerate was relatively smooth (at least on an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S). While Rio isn’t the nicest title we’ve seen on iOS, its visuals look much better compared to the previous Gangstar games. Graphics-wise, Gangstar Rio also improves upon the previous two titles. This is a significant leap forward from previous Gangstar titles, as there is now more motivation to simply enjoy the sandbox environment and earn exp and money in addition to playing the missions. Some of the perks include ‘Luck,’ which increases the amount of looted money and ammo from enemies, and ‘Look’ which makes it harder to increase your wanted level. In addition to gaining experience and earning ‘Respect Levels’, you can now also buy clothing which changes your appearance and provides additional perks beyond the typical stats that you increase with each level up. However, I was extremely disappointed in the lack of cloud saving/syncing as that should be an essential requirement for lengthy games such as this (moreso since Rio is a universal title).Īnother new feature to the series is the clothing system which works in tandem with the experience/level up system. In addition, the developers have improved the controls by adding a few new options and tightening the existing schemes. The entire world just feels more alive than previous titles. ![]() For example, the Rio de Janeiro locale seems to be bigger and is a lot more unique compared to the previous locations. However, Gangstar Rio improves on its predecessors by making everything just a little bit better. All the elements from previous games – from the mission based main story, to the large amount of collectibles, to even the side jobs attached to various vehicles – make a return. Gangstar Rio continues the tried and true gameplay of previous titles that closely mimics the gameplay of sandbox games like the Grand Theft Auto series. While Rio falters in its voice overs and the overarching story, everything else makes this the best Gangstar yet. With Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, Gameloft looks to up the ante in all aspects from the new location to cleaner graphics to even a new character advancement system. While we enjoyed the previous two Gangstar titles, there were outstanding issues in both games that prevented each from becoming a truly ‘must-own’ title. Needing no introduction for any iOS Action fans, the Gangstar series has been Gameloft’s answer for folks looking for the city sandbox experience popular on gaming consoles.
