Now, with the rant out of the way, on to the game review--it's not that great. Many of us "GTA Type Game" fans waited more than two years for this, being led to believe it would be similar, that is, "open ended" with a variety of things to do and freedom to explore a virtual world. Would you escape the ghetto and get revenge on your family's killers are "Freeze," or clean up the city and save lives as a cop?
The actual game is nothing more than a linear first person shooter where you have to kill several enemies per level before they kill you. The AI is horrible. You have no choices. You can't drive anywhere. You have to hit enemies like 5 headshots to kill them; usually before you can do that youre dead (because even from a mile away they can hit you with accuracy). it sucks. Don't waste your money.
The best game in my opionion so far is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. For those of you who whine about how "Bad and violent" it is, that part is up to the player. If you want, you can stay in Los Santos for months, not kill a single person, and make millions of dollars betting at the OTB and driving the taxi, buying all the safehouses, working out at the gym, etc. And not kill one person, if you don't want to. So, I say again, try products for yourself before you try to ban them. it's part of being a grown up. But you'll never undertand. Peace

Seeing all the bad reviews I have to ask myself did anyone actually play through this game. I decided to get this game because I was one of the original beta testers for the online portion of this game. I really had a blast with this game online, it was a lot of fun. However online wasn't as great as playing the Socom games online but it was up there. I did wait till this game went greatest hits before buying it though, only because I wasn't sure about the offline part of the game. Surprisingly the offline was pretty good too. I played this game through in my free time within two weeks, and I got pretty hooked on it too. The graphics are pretty good in my opinion. It's funny when I think of this game I don't remember the graphics being that great. But then I think what was that game that I really liked where I was sneaking around a shopping mall and hiding behind clothes racks dodging people that were shooting at me, that game was awesome. Then I realize it was this game 25 to Life. There was a sense of realism to this game when blasting away at everything. From blasting peoples heads off to shooting walls, or shooting out windows. Each weapon had a different effect too. The audio sounded pretty good, from breaking windows, shooting and reloading your guns, and moltov cocktails exploding. The voices were ok, mostly gangsta from the hood. The only thing bad about it was there was a lot of cursing. But the cursing was something that really went well with the gangsta enviroment of the game. The same with the music tracks on the game they went well with the gansta enviroment as well. That being said, some of the songs in this game had a lot more cursing in them then just what the computer opponents yelled out. One song had the f-word multiple times, which really made me wish I could have been able to turn it off. It would have been nice if you could have picked the songs you would like to hear because not all the songs had cursing in them. Most the time from the computer opponents you would hear just the s-word. This game also has a lot of extra side quests you can do while blasting away at the computer opponents. Upon completeing them you can unlock extra characters, and weapons to use in the online mode, much like Socom. This game is good for a once through offline. Online it was pretty fun till people started using cheats and ruined the game. Don't know if the servers are even up anymore. It has a good replay value especially if you didn't finish all the side quests first time around. The cool part is when you finish an area you can go back and play it all over again so you can finish the side quest objectives you might have missed the first time around. And when you have done all that you can try and play through the harder modes for more of a challenge. Although normal mode seemed pretty intense on its own. And after you beat the game you unlock this parking garage challenge area that was very hard to beat. But after finishing all of these things in the game, I did feel a sense of accomplishment, and I was glad it was all over with do to its intensity. That being said I really think this game is worth a play through, and maybe I will play through it again some time.Best Deals for 25 to Life - PlayStation 2
I used to wonder how people could be so far off base when it comes to developing these games especially considering that this game was developed in Utah. Now you and I both know that when it comes to urban culture and all things street you need look no further than the UT for your definitive source, but that still doesn't explain the lacklustre graphics and clunky mechanics and poor coordination since we all know that Utah is home to the best artists and athletes around I mean just look at the Jazz. Yes, I am Utah bashing, yes I am from Utah, that is why I find it hilariously sad that these developers chose to make a game about urban gang-warfare and street culture. Stick to what you know, make a game about scrapbooking and holding hands it couldn't possiblly suck as bad as this.Honest reviews on 25 to Life - PlayStation 2
This game, overall isn't half bad. It has some what of a story line and quite a few levels. However I am too used to the free roam of some other shooting games, where as in this game you have a set path with barriers (usually buildings) on both sides of you that keep you going in one direction. Also there isnt much of stealth in this game, its basically run and shoot. The guns all seem to work some what the same as eachother and aren't very impressive in my opinion. The game was just a little too repetative for my taste. If you are a big fan of shooting games like me, you probably aren't going to be impressed by this game...at all.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 25 to Life - PlayStation 2
Truthfully I can't believe that I paid for this game, when i saw it in the store i thought it would be pretty sweet, ya know reading that back of the case and looking at the pictures, but obviously whats on the case doesn't well describe what actually happens. There's really no point to the game, every level is pretty much the same just with different people and slightly different weapons. The incentive for finishing the game is some retarded survival level. The only thing that i found interesting about the game is that you can take hostages and peoples heads literally get blown off when shot the right way. I would recommend anyone looking to buy this game wait until it is a Greatest Hits (I doubt) or buy it used.
