2.0 out of 5 stars It's So/So Defiinitely Does NOT Live Up to The Hype, February 21, 2006

First off, all the people that have tried to ban this game, and others like it, without even seeing it, or playing it, this is just an example of how ignorant you are. You base your actions upon what you hear and read about a product, without ever bothering to try the actual prodcut. Shame on you. And, all you're doing, in the end, is generating more sales for bad games, if they are bad. The best way to stop bad products is no one buy them!

Now, with the rant out of the way, on to the game review--it's not that great. Many of us "GTA Type Game" fans waited more than two years for this, being led to believe it would be similar, that is, "open ended" with a variety of things to do and freedom to explore a virtual world. Would you escape the ghetto and get revenge on your family's killers are "Freeze," or clean up the city and save lives as a cop?

The actual game is nothing more than a linear first person shooter where you have to kill several enemies per level before they kill you. The AI is horrible. You have no choices. You can't drive anywhere. You have to hit enemies like 5 headshots to kill them; usually before you can do that youre dead (because even from a mile away they can hit you with accuracy). it sucks. Don't waste your money.

The best game in my opionion so far is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For those of you who whine about how "Bad and violent" it is, that part is up to the player. If you want, you can stay in Los Santos for months, not kill a single person, and make millions of dollars betting at the OTB and driving the taxi, buying all the safehouses, working out at the gym, etc. And not kill one person, if you don't want to. So, I say again, try products for yourself before you try to ban them. it's part of being a grown up. But you'll never undertand. Peace

Truthfully I can't believe that I paid for this game, when i saw it in the store i thought it would be pretty sweet, ya know reading that back of the case and looking at the pictures, but obviously whats on the case doesn't well describe what actually happens. There's really no point to the game, every level is pretty much the same just with different people and slightly different weapons. The incentive for finishing the game is some retarded survival level. The only thing that i found interesting about the game is that you can take hostages and peoples heads literally get blown off when shot the right way. I would recommend anyone looking to buy this game wait until it is a Greatest Hits (I doubt) or buy it used.

2.0 out of 5 stars So much shooting...it gets old., March 16, 2006

This game, overall isn't half bad. It has some what of a story line and quite a few levels. However I am too used to the free roam of some other shooting games, where as in this game you have a set path with barriers (usually buildings) on both sides of you that keep you going in one direction. Also there isnt much of stealth in this game, its basically run and shoot. The guns all seem to work some what the same as eachother and aren't very impressive in my opinion. The game was just a little too repetative for my taste. If you are a big fan of shooting games like me, you probably aren't going to be impressed by this game...at all.
