User Rating: 4 | The Sopranos: Road to Respect PS2
the rather weird titled game is the latest in a long line of Grand Theft Auto wannabes, and will almost certainly go down as a dreadful record in gaming history for being one of the worst trying to be like game. Based on the hit series The Sopranos, the videogame lets you interact with the gang based world of the Soprano's. As Joey , you’re everyone’s errand boy—doing everything from beating everybody up, whacking the competition, and dumping bodies, to gambling, taking sandwich orders, and finding hookers. Yes, this game is all about family, and doing all the things families do together…
No matter what your actual task is, most of the game goes down to basically, beating the crap out of everthing you see. The game makes an effort to provide an interesting combat experience depending on where your located, like bashing a guy’s head into a toilet or file cabinet, or slamming him repeatedly into a door jam—but the controls are bad, and the constant clues giving direction just get annoying. the whole game seems your beating the crap out of everthing and everybody for no apparent reason. You can choose to be a “smooth” or tough in conversation, which can alter dialogue outcomes somewhat, but none of the events make much sense. There’s almost no variety in the gameplay—the family has a problem with some one or another, you go over to talk and end up “taking care” of them and all their conveniently nearby friends. If you use a gun in public, you’ll lose respect, yet punching everything you see in a populated area is fine. to gain respect back, you just give your mob bosses cash and you’re fine. It’s hard to take the game seriously when you play a character that is so stupid and bad that he deserves to die. In the strip club the strippers act like a bunch of robots. This game features mediocre voice acting which makes the game terrible.
