- “The story is very short, and after a few missions, it becomes pay-to-win. I finished the game in just three days, which makes it a very weak game. You guys need to add more missions because the game is useless now.”
- “The storyline is lacking and the missions are simply ridiculous. There's no plot fixed and half of the missions are fictional, which isn't common in a GTA game.”
- “I finished the main story in a few days, now there is nothing to do. The game is good, but it kicks me out every time when I start a mission.”

The graphics of "Gangstar Vegas" have received mixed reviews from players. Many praise the game's visuals, noting that they are impressive for a mobile title and often liken them to those of "GTA V."

- “The graphics are incredible, and the storyline is really good.”
- “After years went by since I last played, nothing changed. The design and concept of the game didn't change, you can't even climb or move because of small height distance. Vehicles get lost after entering a place, graphics didn't inch a change, nothing is new and the devs aren't doing anything about it. I now notice that ads are just running the place because even in-game they appear out of nowhere.”
- “I played this game back 8 years ago when I newly bought a Samsung Note 4. This game had no ads and was way better to play open world like GTA. Now I reinstalled after 8 years on my S22 Ultra and this game is bananas, worst in graphics and mainly worst in ads when opening the map or checking mission HUD.”
- “The graphics are not nice; the cars will be invisible and there are not too many cars or bikes. More should be added and fast-going vehicles must be included. When we crash the car or bike, nothing damages; we can see only life will go, so please fix the problem.”

You will usually bump into others in less than a minute. It's bad; I rate it poorly because of the mechanics. It has a lot of content, but I'm not going to play this game again.”
