Gameplay
Gangstar: West Coast Hustle is likened to another Gameloft game, Gangstar: Crime City. It plays like a GTA clone with gameplay similar to that of the Grand Theft Auto series. Players take the role of a gangster called Pedro (P, P-Thug) accompanied by his friend Juanito. The pair recently escaped from a Mexican prison and have come to Los Angeles. They are then tasked with many different missions to complete as players work through the story. The game is free roaming in a 3D world while players control Pedro by a virtual joystick on the touchscreen. Players earn money by completing missions or murdering citizens. Players can steal and drive a variety of cars by either using the accelerometer or by sliding a steering wheel on the touch screen. Criminal acts will result in a wanted level in the form of 1-5 badges on the screen, this causes pursuit from the police and, if caught, arrest and a fine.
Minor glitches include the game crashing randomly, and if the player jumps out of a car with a wall or building to their left, they will pass through the wall and appear to be floating in midair. This also happens in Gangstar: Miami Vindication.
Wanted levels
The game features a system referred to as "wanted levels", which is raised by committing crimes. Higher levels result in increased police spawning. Wanted levels are removed by collecting "badges" on the map, or hiding from police.
Gangstar City
In 2013, a spin-off called Gangstar City was released. The plotline of the story follows Garcia who has recently escaped from Mexico, his brother, Pedro, also the main character in Gangstar West Coast Hustle, has been kidnapped and now has to kill all thugs that stand between him and his brother. The game takes place in Los Angeles and includes four districts that the player must take control of which include, Santa Monica, Hollywood, South Central as well the Crib. The game is available as a free download on Google Play.
