![]() ![]() Well let me give you a run down in this department. Starting off with your fists, you quickly gain possession of more deadlier arsenal such as baseball bats, pistols, shotguns, Molotov cocktails, grenades, SMG’s Assault Rifles, Snipers, RPG and my personal favourite the Flame Thrower (burn enough baddies with this baby boy and you’ll unlock an achievement) Weapons in Gangstar : Miami Vindication can be purchased from the options menu or at the ammo shops. Collecting all of them will unlock an achievement, which I must say Gangstar Miami Vindication has quite a lot of and if you’re that kind of person that enjoys getting them, then this game will keep you busier a little while longer while you search every section of the map for them. Take for example while on a boat you can find surf boards along the coast and in very well hidden spots. An open world game wouldn’t be an open world game without collecting collectables along the way. Speed boats will allow you get from one side of the map to the other quite quickly. If you don’t feel like doing missions you could always drive, sail or fly around the city. You’ll enjoy stealing cars, taking part in street races, killing gang members and even hijacking a hearse with a dead body in it just to piss off the rival gangs and to take you one step closer in finding your brother. There are approx 75 missions that will keep you busy for hours. For example one specific mission will have you taking pictures of criminals with the use of a camera. The missions are more entertaining and there are a lot more cool things you can do. ![]() The story line and dialog in Miami Vindication is a great improvement from the original. ![]() The only improvement from the original is that characters and cut-scenes now have voice overs, so instead of just reading boring old text along the bottom of the screen you can listen to them plan their next mission. There is no lip movement when they speak between missions or cut scenes and no real detail has gone into making them look and feel life-like. The car and character models within the game are average, with character animations lacking in depth. Gameloft have improved the lighting and also the draw distance with being able to see buildings from further away with finer details appearing as you come closer to them. The city in Vindication is quite large for a game of this style. I found this quite disappointing as I wanted to feel like I was actually in the game, living and breathing it. Miami’s streets are empty with a few random cars driving around pointlessly and the same goes for the citizens, they prove no point and have no real connection to the world what so ever. The city feels too empty and lifeless there is no hustle and bustle of a busy city with streets full of cars and citizens going by their daily life. Unfortunately Miami Vindication has continued in its footsteps. The original West Coast Hustle, even though it was very impressive with its 3D open world city to explore, it just didn’t feel like it was a living and breathing world. Having played the original Gangstar : West Coast Hustle on the iPhone, I was excited to get my hands on Miami Vindication and see what improvements have been made. As soon as Johnny arrives in Miami, these unknown criminals blow up his ride as to send him a message to “BACK OFF” but this only makes Johnny even more pissed and more determined to find out who has his brother and to take them down and get him back and thus our story begins. Gameloft’s Gangstar : Miami Vindication for the Apple iPhone is the sequel to the Gangstar : West Coast Hustle which is a 3D GTA style open world crime game that has you stepping into the shoes of Johnny a dude on a mission to find his brother Joey who’s been kidnapped by some unknown criminals.
