Open world crime games have been incredibly popular for years now, so it wasn’t much of a surprise to see Gameloft release Gangstar: West Coast Hustle [$4.99 / Free / HD] which we liked quite a bit in our review. Following the success of Gangstar, Rockstar threw its hat in to the ring with Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars [$9.99 / Free / HD] which really upped the ante with a real Grand Theft Auto experience with all the depth and complexity that players have come to expect of the series. It’s going to be interesting to see what Gameloft includes in the Gangstar sequel to one-up Rockstar, but the good news is we won’t have to wait much longer as Miami Vindication is set to be released on the 23rd.
If you’re like us and are looking forward to stealing virtual cars on the streets of Gameloft’s version of Miami, check out this new trailer:
Something that immediately pops out is how low polygon count everything is, but it remains to be seen how noticeable this is when you’re actually playing the game. Thankfully, we don’t have much longer to wait, and we should have a review available as soon as Gangstar: Miami Vindication hits the App Store late tomorrow night.
