    The controls are awful...L.A. is nowhere near fully modeled. [July 2004, p.60]

    There just isn’t enough punch in this game to make it last in today’s hardcore gaming market.

    Predictable, bland and boring, just like Nick Kang, the star of this routine action game that has been routinely converted from the consoles.

    It’s got some excellent gameplay ideas that are marred by sloppy execution and balance issues. A lot of these problems could have been fixed in the PC port, but they haven't been.

    It looks like, well, a badly ported PS2 game with washed-out colors, graphical glitches, and only average textures and modeling. This, along with the appallingly bad driving sequences, horrible characters, plentiful cliches, and cringe-inducing dialogue, proves that unlike "Splinter Cell," not all console/PC marriages are made in heaven. [Sept 2004, p.77]

    Better than Saints Row. Overall worse than True Crime: New York City and GTA. Some textures in the game are stretched. You need to use WineD3DBetter than Saints Row. Overall worse than True Crime: New York City and GTA. Some textures in the game are stretched. You need to use WineD3D if you want to fix it, but it decreases number of frames per second. The map in the game is very big, but dead. The developers used a script to create it; because of that some structures are misplaced (buried), since the algorithm builds them incorrectly, ignoring terrain and its heights.… Full Review »
