Kingpin: Life of Crime

"Walking On The Streets...The Best"

This review is on a game called Kingpin: Life Of Crime. It's a first person shooter game. Here's my review!

Gameplay(10) - This game has great controls. You can select lots of weapons like the pistol or the shotgun or the flamethrower and more! You can run, walk, hide your weapon and hire other thugs to work for you! You can also take money from bad guys after you finish them off! You can also talk to other people for info and such! You can even have 2 people talk to each other. You can go into bar's and hire people insted of hire people on the streets! Also, the best thing is you can go into Pawn-O-Matic's and buy or sell weapons! It's great! You just gotta watch for the guards and such.

Story(10) - Kingpin is about a guy who got dragged out of his hometown name Poisionville by a thug name Nicki. As Nicki's boys drag you out to Skidrow, a bad place to be, you find a pipe and revenge. As you head there, you may encounter some problems...

Audio(9) - The music is by Cypress Hill so if your a rap guy, your gonna like this. You can hear the music at the bar's and hangout's. The voice acting is great too. If you shoot a gun and it kills a guy, the affects just come to life with sound. It's great! If your not a rapper, you can then just turn the music down low and enjoy the rest! There are cusswords in it so watch yourself!

Graphics(9) - The graphics are A grade great! If you whack someone with a pipe and the blood spills out, it's so realistic. If you find weapons on the floor or smash a box, it has great affects. If you get shot, you see blood spill out of you! You can also see the great affects on buildings with doors and such!

Replayability(8) - I always replay it. After I beat it, I tried so of the cheats out. It was great. I liked it. You can also play multiplayer over the line! It's a great multiplayer! No mattter how much you beaten it, you can also go and find secrets! The only way to reply a map is using a cheat code though. No mini games.

Value(10) - Rent then buy! I liked this game alot and I rent it before I buy it. Remember, this game is rated M for Mature so look out for the children. There are cusswords in it so thats why the prices may be low.

Overall(10) - The best! This is my favorite game of all time! It never gets old. :)
