- What went wrong: Everything, again?
"One of the best real gangster crime simulator" – This is how Real Gangster Auto Theft is advertised in the Google Play Store. Nice promotional graphics (with absolutely nothing in common with actual graphics), free distribution, and a title that suggests probably the cheekiest, most audacious ripoff on this list. So what are the chances that the game will actually be good? You guessed it – practically none.
It's even difficult to explain everything that went wrong with Real Gangster Auto Theft. I could just copy a few sentences from the previous entry – monotonous missions, empty world, weak shooting and driving systems. Add to that a very linear storyline, presented as subsequent levels available in the menu, and poor graphics – even for mobile devices' standards. It's completely not worth it, and still, more than a million players got it. The audacity paid off, it seems.
