Anyone out there have any comments on this game ?
Here is a Gamefly review ...
*************************************************************************************************
Any attempt to compare this game to Grand Theft Auto is a mistake. The
beauty of this game is that its broken new ground. The designers/
developers have found a game format that gamers love in the engine
that drive the GTA style, but they have expanded the engine to include
an actually enjoyable story. This game does not encourage anti-social
behavior in the game world instead it expects the player to make
decisions based on a much more elaborate set of game circumstances.
But mechanics aside, and I do have a few issues with the mechanics,
its the development of movie characters into game characters that has
opened new doors. I am considerably more excited to see the new
Scarface game as a result of what I've seen in this game. I can hope
that half of the movies Id like to see made in this format come about.
This game is much more role playing intensive then the GTA series
because of the Upgrade system, no longer are you as tough as the gun
in your hand. The opportunities to act outside of the framework of the
story make each game session unique. As an actual review of the games
pros and cons, here are my opinions; Pro: The upgrade system. Con: The
under used driving element. Pro: Movie authenticity. Con: The story
line is too linear. Pro: Replayablity, there is no way to play this
game the same way twice. Con: Lack of convincing death throes. I guess
I could go on but Id rather get back to the game.
