3.0 out of 5 stars If you compare it to a Rockstar Game........, August 29, 2005

If you compare this game to a title released by Rockstar Games like "Grand Theft Auto Vice-City" or "San Andreas" or "Midnight Club" you will definitly be disapointed. If I put this game in my PS2 following playing "Vice City" or "San Andreas" it seems like I am going 10 years back in video playing time. The graphics just aren't that great. The movement of the characters is not the greatest and the missions and storylines are well average at best. I bought this game because Bill Bellamy is on the soundtrack and the games concept sounded really interesting but I think Rock Star has set the standard so high for these kind of games I found it hard to really get into this one.

The original arcade version of this game is in my gameroom - and I still play it. I was hoping that the two might be similar... and they're NOT. This version might be better... granted it's 20 years COOLER and NEWER. Let's start with the fact that while there is no SUPER gratuitious violence... the language is a CLEAR "R" rating earner. The sound track is good -- but not fantastic... some good songs, but they get old after the 43RD TIME... The game play is quite good -- an open world to explore and hidden drug stashes to find while you complete a variety of missions in the GTA mold -- get the camera and take pictures of the drug gang... save the ambassador from the assassins... currency and drugs are found by busting drug dealers and muggers in your city. You can even pick up a bit of extra cash for health boxes by selling some of the contraband you recover. In a pinch in a gunfight??? A little dab of crack will go a LONG way in that situiation, although it won't help your badge rating. So bust some more perps to get it back up on the way to your meet with the guy selling the rocket launcher.

The game is not that difficult; I'm 6 hours into game play, moving steadily, it is absorbing enough to keep me interested. The dialogue is not as cheesy as in some games, thankfully, but I think a wider variety of "canned" responses from the men/women/pushers on the street would give it a much nicer sound.

My biggest problem with the game is the uncooperative camera. While you do control the view, from time to time your perspective swings into a wall or building and you can't see what you are doing -- this is especially annoying when you are trying to snap your cuffs on a perp in very limited "cuffing" window.

The key here is that this game SELLS FOR $19.00!!!!!! What were they thinking??? While this is probably NOT the Game Of The Year, it is FAR superior to MANY far more expensive games. If you are thinking of trying ANY of the GTA series, but don't know if you will like the format -- get this game. If you are looking for a few hours or non-pharmaceutical recreation, get this game. If you are under 14 -- ASK YOUR PARENTS -- then get this game!!!

This game was a lot of fun for all the wrong, distorted reasons. I was totally blown away by the drug use in this game. If GTA included this subject matter in their games, those people who object to this type of video game entertainment would go ballistic.

They've got guts for putting out stuff like this. It's sick people like me who will continue to buy them and enjoy them, especially for such a cheap price.
