Gangstar

Gangstar is a series of open-world action-adventure video games published by video game company Gameloft and developed by its subsidiaries.

Games in the Gangstar series are generally set in American cities^[1] (although Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is set in Rio de Janeiro, a Brazilian city). Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions at their own leisure to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side-activities consisting of action-adventure, driving, shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth and racing elements. The series focuses on many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The games in the series are heavily inspired by the gameplay of the Grand Theft Auto franchise by Rockstar Games.^[2]
