A serious disappointment (DOUBLE TAKE)
User Rating: 4.7 | 25 to Life PS2
When i saw this game i checked it out and thought it was some serious wicked stuff.. now, i bought it, brought it home, booted it and played for about 3 hours and then chucked it aside. i have seriously never encountered a game which i have man-handled to such an extent. 25 looks great on the surface. PLEASE PLEASE do not judge this book according to it's cover. you play the game according to its liking. in other words, this is one game where it controls you, the players you use and the missions you take up. it's a one-by-one scenario game where only about 3 characters are available for use. a gangsta a cop and another. the missions do get a tad bit exciting at times and does keep your grip on the controls tight, sometimes. the sound effects of the guns and arsenal in general are pretty realistic and do contribute to whatever little the game offers to its unlucky owners, such as i was. besides the violence and moderate gore, the game is really nothing. the online feature may attract gamers to swipe it off the racks as it advocates the possibility to start a gang of about 15 online. yet, though that may be pretty good ear candy. it's really just as repetitive and lame as the game. if you were hoping that it would be somewhat like a gta. walk away. Pen ultimately, this game is a white elephant. an investment with no returns. Ultimately, don't. buy. it.
