Made Man: Confessions of the Family Blood

Vietnam veteran Joey Verolla is a really, really tough guy who can not only lift two kalashnikovs but also fire them simultaneously. And he does this trick with any other handgun, even SPAS. If it doesn't properly impress his enemies, it's because they are brainless. As is the entire game - despite some interesting mission designs, quite amusing (and gory) finishing sequences and virtually useless ability to seek cover by putting your back to the wall, this shooter is as simple as some precursors of the genre.

There are a million and one better shooters out there. [Dec 2006, p.118]

If you missed out on the slow motion craze a couple of years ago, then this might be the game for you to pick. On second thought, just try to find "Max Payne." The poor execution to the game is where the real harm is in Made Man.

Just as frustrating is the shoddy timing and placement of enemies. [Dec 2006, p.74]

If you are a hardcore action shooter fan, you may be insulted by the total lack of challenge or variation in the gameplay, and if you are not, there is nothing here to attract you to this uninspired generic disappointment. This is one confession that should have stayed within the family.

The problem's with the lack of inspiration or effort. [Christmas 2006, p.81]

Utterly horrendous in every conceivable aspect.

After a few hours with Made Man, you'll be begging for someone to put two in the back of your head.
