***************This Blurb may to some of you have spoilers but i have just outlined the general gist of the game with some of the good bits, no storyline or secrets have been told. This blurb is for people who are thinking about getting the game and need a little push in the right direction to do so.***************************************************
Having not seen the film, i can say that i approached this game as a game not a movie adaption or anything else, so i have rated this game purley as a game, so having no feelings for the original film means i wont be massively let down if it isn't quite like it, or the character representations are off and so on. With that blab aside, i saw the game advertised, and having faith in 'rockstar' i checked it out online, that w/e i purchased it based on the online review from the site and i was not disappointed at all. This is a classic 'rockstar' game, a game where you fight anyone, anywhere, with a range of interesting weapons, have massive brawls and of course some cool blood effects. It is a kind of mixture between State of Emergency, Dynasty Warriors, The Bouncer (dont let that fool you) and Grand Theft Auto just without the driving, with rugged and cleverly dark well portrayed 1970's Gang land New York maps. If you are a fan of any of the four games mentioned then this game should definitely be considered for purchase. There is a lot to do in the game, good multi-player options, free roam, Flashback missions and of course good main missions/story line. When you get an idea about the game you say things like, "it would be good if", or "they should of put that in it", well they seem to have thought a lot about what things would be good as part of the game, as you gradually unlock things your wishes get answered cos they have had some good ideas, (Trust me on this one) definitely on the multi-player side. The game is engrossing, entertaining and surprisingly as another gory beat em up not boring. There is just something about huge brawls and throwing people through shop windows isn't there. The gameplay is good, Could of been week and shoddy like The Bouncer or complex like Metal Gear Solid, but the buttons work well, varied moves with every player, has covered a lot of gameplay aspects, Team leading and commands, Stealth, various ways to complete missions, Player progression and more. The whole game plays well with a diverse environment for various destruction. It is a very interractable game. The graphics are also good, not the best but they work, as already said the environment is very good, you can see your player getting bloodied up as a fight commences, black eyes, cuts, bruises, blood on your hands after smashing an opponents head in to a car or against a Wheelie bin. The frame rate doesn't deplete even when there are loads of people on screen either. Overall good.
So as a game it is awesome a real genuine good game, straight up, Gameplayers and game connoisseurs this game is for you, i guarantee that whoever buys this game will be pleasantly surprised with what this game has to offer, a lot of good touches, it's just GOOD.Period. Cheers Rockstar! 8/10
