Gangstar Vegas (originally known as Gangstar 4 and is alternatively known as Gangstar 4: Vegas) is an open world action-adventure video game developed by Gameloft for Android and iOS (both iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad). It is the fifth main installment in the Gangstar series, and was released on June 7, 2013. Gangstar Vegas is preceded by Gangstar Rio: City of Saints and is succeeded by Gangstar: New Orleans.
Gangstar Vegas is set in modern-day Las Vegas, Nevada. The story revolves around Jason Malone, a skilled MMA fighter who is targeted by Frank Veliano after winning in a match. Like games in the Grand Theft Auto series, Gangstar Vegas has elements from driving games and third-person shooters, and features “open-world” gameplay that gives the player more control over their playing experience.
During its release, it received mixed reviews from critics and players alike, whom they criticized the laggy graphics, animation, and its frequent updates, but praised the music and the extensive use of 3D graphics, which some players noted as an improvement of the previous game. It was also a commercial success, having been downloaded 50 million times from iOS and Android.
