Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A. or Gangstar 2 Kings of LA (for BlackBerry OS)[1] is a mobile game, developed and published by Gameloft.[2] The Java ME version was released in November 2008, the BlackBerry OS version was released in August 5, 2009[3] and the Nintendo DSi version was released in April 12, 2010.[4][5] The game is about a gangster, Pedro (nicknamed Chico) and his friend Juan, who have escaped from Mexico. They arrive in Los Angeles looking for money and power. A version of the game was released for the iPhone and Android platforms in 2009, retitled as Gangstar: West Coast Hustle.

Gameplay

Like Grand Theft Auto, the game has a free-roam, sandbox-style structure, and allows the player to do whichever mission at his/her own leisure. Players can sell drugs (referred to in-game as "candies" as an euphemism) to earn money or invest in buying movies. Policemen and their vehicles are like the LAPD. Players can also explore the four areas consisting of the Coast, Suburbs, Downtown and Beverly Hills of Los Angeles.

Weapons

The weapon stores are similar to Grand Theft Auto's Ammu-Nation, although the player can buy additional health and armor. The selection ranges from the Pistol, the double Pistol, the Uzi, which can be used for drive-by shootings, the double Uzi however, cannot be used for drive-by shootings, the AK-47 rifle, a pump-action Shotgun, the Rocket launcher, Grenades and the Sniper where players can buy from the weapon shops or the weapons e-shop that can be accessed from the services menu. Unlike in the previous game, players are able to use hand-to-hand combat. Melee weapons aren't available in-game.
