Gameloft Announces GTA-Like Gang$tar: West Coast Hustle


Many developers have attempted to bring the sandbox-styled Grand Theft Auto experience to the iPhone. Most, however, have limited themselves to cloning the franchise’s early years. Car Jack Streets mimics the overhead viewpoint from GTA 1 and 2, and even Payback has a severely limited scope in comparison to the latest entries in Rockstar’s crime drama series.

Enter Gameloft’s Gang$star: West Coast Hustle, which bears a striking resemblance to a modern-day GTA game. Its environments are fully 3D, there’s a lock-on targeting system for melee combat, and yes, you get to throw people out of their cars and drive off in them, to the irritation of the local police.

Gameloft has revealed little else about Gang$tar so far, but it probably won’t be long until more details are released. In the meantime, I can confirm from the screenshot above that the game allows you to jack a hamburger delivery car and use it to deliver fast food for extra cash. Probably.
