The trailer for Crime Boss: Rockay City has been released, and aside from looking like it has the potential to be one of the best games of the year, it appears to be an homage to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
From all guns blazing nods to 90s action films to robberies, car chases and machine guns a’plenty, Crime Boss and GTA could certainly be related.
Apart from some exciting GTA similarities, Crime Boss: Rockay City features cameos from a stack of famous faces, including Danny Glover and Michael Madsen. Excited much?
