City Life: Criminal Empire

Wake up in Los Santos Bay, an original fictional city, and build a new life with your best friend Jason.

Make your character. Pick a name, gender, skin tone, hairstyle and colour, eyes, eyebrows, facial hair, outfit, hat, sunglasses and more, with a 3D preview you can rotate and zoom. Your look is saved.

Live in the city. Walk or sprint, take any parked car (or carjack traffic at your own risk), drift with the handbrake and watch day turn to night and the weather roll in. Switch between first-person and third-person any time with V, the scroll wheel or the camera button.

Your phone works. Camera and gallery, calls and messages with Jason, notes, a live city map with waypoints, contacts and settings.

Jason rides with you. He follows you around, walks to the passenger door, hops into the car and comments on your driving (and your crashes).

Missions, money, shops. Seven connected story missions with dialogue, choices, a plot twist and three endings, plus side jobs: package runs, a street sprint and a hot-car getaway with a 5-star wanted system. Earn cash, buy cars at Bay Motors, paint and tune them in your garage, grab food, gadgets and properties, and save in three slots.

Controls: WASD move, Shift sprint, Space jump or handbrake, E enter, exit or interact, V camera, P phone, M missions. Touch controls and gamepads are supported.

Everything in this game is fictional and arcade-style.
