Lmao Cream Pie number 39!!!!, the porno industry must be worse than the games scene for coming up with original ideas. They just think ahhhh fuck it we'll make another sequel.

I dunno what size those 3 games unpack to in total but im gonna try to squeeze them onto a multi disc and I'll put up a quick mini review either during or after the Man Utd match - Come on Burton Albion. Razz

IGN rated this one 3.1

Maybe a worthy opponent for Chicago Enforcer?!

lmao! I cant believe IGN gave that 4/10! It doesnt deserve to be rated! Despite 25 to Life scoring lower, Im sure I will find it more enjoyable than Chicago Enforcer!

May the NFOrce be with you always.

Well its definately better than Chicago Enforcer, but not by much. Its like a cheap ripoff of Grand Theft Auto. I guess its worth picking up for the online play. You can customize your player (wonder where they got that idea) either as a cop or thug, with different clothing, jewelry, guns, etc.
Overall on a scale of 1-10 i'll give it a 4.5. The textures aren't too bad and the blood is cool, but the gameplay is mediocre at best. I'd much rather play GTA.

I did not know that "the streets" could wait for anything or had a mind of it´s own?

I agree with heuristic, the game is mediocre.

My main problem with stuff like this is the whole urban gangster theme. In the last year in particular every other game of this nature has the same generic cops/gangbangers and piss poor hip hop soundtrack to the point where its overused and hard to feel any sort of interest in the setting or the characters. GTA:SA showed that characters of this type can easily spoof and borrow themes from movies, even poke fun and parody themselves without seeming bland or cliched.

Other than that from what I played of the game it seemed pretty similiar to that 50 Cent game that came out recently except without the thumping soundtrack or the manual aiming problems. To this games credit they actually managed to correctly implement manual aiming into the game, something which the developers of the aforementioned 50 Cent game deserve an arse kicking for not even being able to do properly or not picking up on.

I'd score it 4-5/10 purely due to the lack of innovation contained within the story and lack of fresh ideas contained within the game, specifically gameplay wise. A score of 3.1 is a little harsh, I noticed that alot of sites are handing out crazy scores at the moment though - Hammer and Sickle got 3.6 and UFO Aftermath got 4.0 from Gamespot recently. This is the site that gave Fifa 2006 9.2 ahahaha Razz

For what its worth all 3 of the games that came out today are small enough to fit on and will work off a multidisc. Wink

Played it..for about 10 minutes. Graphics poor, controls poor, hmm. I believe everything is poor. Couldnt even find my way out of the warehouse. You have a crosshair to aim by, which is really lame. Doesnt even work-aiming is tough. It does work from the harddrive. But all in all- dont bother. skip.

you think after all the delays this game had it would be better than this.
game = 5 (how many more times we gonna see another poor excuse for a game)
music = 8 (music was okay. best part of the game.)

Seems they forgot to put something in this one folks. Like Enjoyment.
