Difficulty:

Easy

Time Spent:

20 to 40 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Highly addictive"

The Good:
graphics are not that bad but you will soon notice all the small details ; you are able to take hostages and make them do what you want them to do ( includes: opening safes and doors, unlocking/locking doors, ect.) ; controls are very easy to get use to ; the game isn't to short or to long ; cops will try to purswade you to release hostage or to surrender ; if you listen to the cops they will arrest you like in real life, but you can easylly learn how to trick them by hiding your gun ; levels produce a challenge by having to plan a assault against a large # of cops ; cops can call for back up wich makes you have to watch for anyone ringing alarms ; cheats make the game alot more fun once you finish ; and all the characters from the movie are in this game

The Bad:
knocking out a cop makes all the surendering cops grab the guns ; civilians can get slightlly annoying with there 'hero moment' by running away once they surender ( when you walk away) and tell the cops where you are after you have threatend them many times

Overall this should be one of the top 10 ps2 games.
