Fun for reciting lines, and the funky music. Game play is moderately fun for awhile but can become redundent. Controls are good and the graphics are decent for xbox.

Best Deals for Reservoir Dogs - Xbox
If you've seen the excellent film, you pretty much know the game. The difference is all the little scenes you don't see from the movie. Like when Mr. Pink goes to get the diamonds, or when Mr. Blonde drives back from the robbery with the cop in his trunk. You get to see and/or play those scenes out.
Does it add anything to the film? No, in my opinion it might even take something away from it. Reservoir Dogs is one of my favorite movies, and I like the little gaps in time that don't show what happens to the characters completely. By filling them in within the game, it adds nothing to the game or the movie. And with that I don't even recommend the most die hard fans of the film even try this and here's why...
The graphics are OK, but the cut scenes look pretty bad, the voice over work is trying very hard but is very hit and miss, because they only got some of the actors from the original film in both looks and voice overs for the game.
The shooting portions of the game are decent but nothing great or new, just a linear run through a level while trying not to die. While the driving missions are bad due to the controls and level of difficulty, eventually I used a code on the hard levels to be invincible but just enjoy the game as best as possible.
Not really worth a play through or recommendation. I would stay away.
Graphics: C( During the game the graphics can be decent, the cut scenes look like they were filmed with vaseline covering the lens. If you were filming cgi footage with vaseline lol.)
Sound: B (Repetitive sounds and shooting and voices, but they did license some excellent tracks from the movie soundtrack, so they definitely tried there!)
Fun: D( Very monotonous, and borders on frustrating during the driving scenes.)
Overall: D+ ( Very generic, not worth it for shooting fans, driving fans, and especially fans of the film like myself. I think anyone would be pretty much disappointed all around. Give this one a pass.)
Honest reviews on Reservoir Dogs - Xbox
Now I know that this game has gotten bad reviews from the gaming critics and some people do not like this game but I really enjoyed this game. The grapiacs are good, character models are decent repracentions of the movie's actors even though Mr. Blonde looks the most like his real life conter part. the envirments all look good with nice little details but the overall flair of the game isn't really anything to write about. The gameplay is a pretty standard third person shooter but that not a bad thing as the over all shooting action is fun and the ablity to take hostages and have them do or have the people around you have them do what you want just makes the game more enjoyable. But one thing this hostage taking is that for the security guards you just threaten them and they go down. but for the cops, if you threaten they won't go down, but if you hit the hostage around they go down. I don't understand that but whatever. there are also driving sections but lets just say they are my least favorite sections in this game. The sound in this game is once again good, Micheal Madsen who is the only actor to reprise his role from the movie. the others are voiced by soundalikes but they all do a good job though atleast to me. the soundtrack is just a gulity pleasure, when driving in fast speeds away from the cops and listining to Can't Stop This Feeling puts a smile my face. The controls are great when your on foot but Driving is frustrating because steearing is so sensivtive. The presintion overall isn't the best if your a fan of the movie, the menus system is very cool but other then the main game there is no bonus content. But overall it's far from the best movie based game or the best action game but if your looking for a decent third person shooter then this isn't a bad choice. But if your a fan of the movie you might be disapointed. But with that said, It's still a good action game and a okay movie tie in.

First off I have to say; Please don't make a game of a movie unless you have the actual likeness, voices, film clips, etc. (GODFATHER, I'm looking at you too...) That would have added soooo much to this game. It's a shooter, but a little different. You get a lot of cool (but sometimes repetitive) dialouge, characters, etc. The style and wit of the movie is there. I thought the controls were going to be confusing after going through the little training mission, but they were surprising easy and had a good feel to them. My only problem with the game so far is the need for a hostage most of the time. Without a hostage you're pretty much a sitting duck, so you either go psycho on everyone (which is sometimes very fun) or walk around with a gun to somone's head the entire time, which slows the pace of the game down drastically. Nice game though and look forward to getting to the multiple endings.
