Pros
Pro Huge map with tons to do thanks to all the amount of events available in the title
There is a huge map with lots of fun things to do and plenty of side missions. Getting further in the main mission will unlock other events, including street racing, motocross tracks, and more. As your character is a MMA fighter, ring challenges and fighting tournaments are also present. If you need to top up your bank account, you can heist cars, hit up the casino, or compete in some of the other available challenges.
As far as the map itself goes, it is 9x bigger than the previous Gangstar game.
Pro Easily customize your character to look how you like
You can model your character just the way you want to with very few limitations. Weapons are broken down into different categories - hand-to-hand, pistols, shotguns, and rifles - each with their own skill points which can decrease reload times or increase the clip size.

Cons
Con In-app-purchases are required past a certain point
It takes a lot of quick-play missions to level up, especially when you are at a higher level. The grind in this game is very long, most players will end up either quitting or putting up real money to help them along.
Con Annoying ads
There are annoying ads that pop up when you go to the home screen of the game (the screen that shows shop, profile, etc).
Con Large game file
This game is going to end up taking a good 2.5 gigabytes of space. Most phones only have 16GB of storage - of which only around 10-12GB is usable. This one game can take up to 20% of your total storage, or even more if your phone only has 8GB of storage.
Con The map is too small
Con Keeps asking to rate the game
The game also keeps asking you to rate it everytime.
Con It gets boring after a while
Con Can feel repetitive
Even though it is by design, having to repeat many of the same areas (despite being randomly generated) feels repetitive after a while, which can lead to boredom while playing. So it is up to the player how soon they will tire.
