Somewhat interesting on certain parts, but lacks

Despite my liking for gore and profanity, this game leaves for something... I would say gameplay value. When I first started playing it, I enjoyed the nice Quake 2 based engine and the 3D Audio, but it quickly got me saying, "Why am I playing this?"

I understand the plot clearly, you want to become the Boss (the Kingpin) and you have to fight through gangs and other obstacles to get there. These obstacles include ridiculous missions of running back of and forth doing favors. Such as giving a bum some whiskey to get a combination safe number. I thought if a game has a Mature rating slapped onto it, it might as well have some Mature thinking puzzles...

The profanity is something that probably turns away most audiences, because most of the gamers are young and probably need parental admission to get games. To me, the profanity is interesting to hear, not annoying or disturbing. I have never seen a game so daring to use so much violence (until Soldier of Fortune) and profanity.

All in all, I would suggest anyone who likes graphic violence in gang-related environments and non-stop profanity.

Gives new meaning to the term "Ghetto-Blaster"

#@!$%*! ^&*&$#%!

That's the censored version.

Its the most vile 1st person game I've ever played. Not in terms of violence, just in the language. That in itself, makes this game a total riot to play.

Where else can you use cuss-words in practically every sentence in a game?

Well, there's that, the interaction with characters, various weapons and upgrades and the "buying" of "muscle for hire".

On the downside, the graphics are blocky and ugly and there is no MANUAL SAVING!!! That is the biggest upset of all.

The other issue is that this game is RIDICULOUSLY HARD! You shoot your enemies in the face five times and they won't go down! It gets to the point of sheer frustration.

There's the fun sound fx and music from Cypress Hill that give it an extra boost of pulp fiction.

You'll have a f***in' great muth*****n' time you ***holes! ;-)

Addendum: After much aggravating gameplay I stopped playing this and unistalled it. It's just ridiculously hard in any setting and annoying.

Subtract 1 "fun" star from my original review.

Kingpin, one of my favorites

This is a great first person shooter, one of the classics. Although it's obviously dated in terms of graphics and performance, its still fun to play. Some of the objects are tough to find. It took a long time to get the battery for the motorcycle. Once you get into the game, it moves right along. It does get tedious waitng for the next segment to come up as you enter a long hallway or door, but you can tolerate it. Its a very satisfying game to play when you are in a bad mood at the end of a tough day.
