Recently, I have seen alot of GTA type games (Eg. True Crime, Driv3r, The Getaway). These all revolve around running around a city shooting people, stealing cars etc. Although some don't simulate the gangster theme, some of the recent ones are trying to make a damn good gangster game.
50 cent, at first, was looking to be a great game, the magizines think it looks great. But not all of them. Some of them think "This game is just too stupid, controlling a rap artist just isn't my type" And to be honest, it's true. Just because he raps, doesn't mean he can shoot and be amazing at fighting etc. It's only his name that makes him become a videogame character.
I have listed some of the games that try and copy GTA, this is mostly after GTA: Vice City. Especially after GTA: San Andreas, as San Andreas took a Gangster theme and has alot more to it then any ordinary game.

The Getaway/Black Monday
http://www.ps2storm.com/PS2/upload/getaway.jpghttp://www.clubic.com/photo/00110512.jpg
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: SCE Studios Soho
Official Website: http://www.blackmonday.com (http://www.blackmonday.com/) - Their is no Getaway website anymore, just Black Monday!
My view: I just don't like it. The graphics are ok but apart from that. The controls are horrible, so is the driving and shooting. And you HAVE to do every mission. Then you can play on your own, with no missions. DON'T BUY IT, OR RENT IT!

Driv3r

Publisher: Atari
Developer: Reflections Interactive
Official Website: http://www.driv3r.com (http://www.driv3r.com/)
My View: Good graphics. Ok driving, shooting is bad. But the Director thing on it is great. Play the game, then watch it on replay, adding your own camera's or let the computer add your own! RENT IT!

True Crime
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00009LW7H.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Luxoflux Corp.
Official website: Link too long, click HERE (http://www.activision.com/en_GB/game_specific/f83e958c-df75-4880-a520-819d13e72e97.html#)!
My View: I love this game. It's fun arresting people, but the driving is a bit odd as nearly everything you crash into falls down. But the shooting is ok and the fighting is just button-mashing, but I would BUY IT!

My View: Seeing as their isn't much on this game, I can't say much, but from the screenshots, it's one heck of a GTA: San Andreas Copy-Cat. Click HERE (http://ps2.ign.com/objects/704/704819.html) to see screenshots of ww.ign.com

Now then, take a look at all the websites, and read my view on them all. Tell me if their is anymore and I wil add info on that!
Which do you think is the BESt at copying GTA, and the WORST.
My Best: Fear & Respect (They copied it so well, it may aswell be GTA: San Andreas Copycat!)
My worst: The getaway, it was trying to beat GTA, but failed, miserably.
