I have a p-3 at 500mhz.i have played many good games over the years.this is one of the best ever.the graphics are absolutely stunning, although i would recommend running it on a fast system.the enemies are extremely intelligent and crafty.the language is a bit rough but i enjoyed it,its definately a game for "the boys",but it kept me laughing to be honest with you.other great games i have played recently that i would recommend would be heretic 2(a fabulous game),blood 2(excellent game),halflife is a nice game also(not quite up to the newest graphics though).

GREATEST GAME EVER!

Ok, I am a major fan of PC games. I applaud the programmers on this one. This game is one of few that has a story line and is VERY realistic at the same time. When I first played, I got discouraged because all I had was a crowbar and I just kept dying from people with guns in the back alleys. I didn't realize how realistic the game was until I found out that I had to sneak places so I wouldn't get shot, or that I had to put away my crowbar because even if a friendly person saw me carrying it around, they would go after me. It is a game where you use a lot of common sence. Get information from hookers and drunk bums, find weapons, hire street gangs, kill other gangs and STEAL THEIR MONEY by ducking down and pressing the action button (instead of just walking on top of them to pick their pockets), and use the money at various pawn shops to buy guns, grenades, bullets, health, armor, etc... You even get to tell your gang what to do and who to kill. Once you learn all of this stuff, its not as hard as you think when you first start out. Best game ever.

Awesome Game - Even in 2003

I thought it was a terrific game, who cares about the violence and/or language, if anything, it's realistic, how could you be so naive to think that this doesn't go on around the world, I think we needed a game this realistic, there's a reason that they put the ratings on games, to warn you, why buy it and complain about what it warned you about!!

Good game

I preordered this game and got it when it first came out. The vulgar language, a first in PC games, and the provocation by the A/I characters when your character came on a scene without a weapon drawn was hilarious. The graphics were very good with much violence and gore. Player and A/I character interaction pertained to nothing but hiring a gang member, a direct fight to the death or provocation by the A/I character before a fight. Speaking to an A/I character gave an indication of the level of hostility toward the player. More player, A/I interaction could have been added with more of a variety of phrases thrown in. More than phrases such as "What the F*** you doin back here.", "F***in, Piece of S***." or "Got some money. Let's go". For its time, this was a very good effort, humorous. Not for kids. What does Xatrix have coming out next? I will probably buy it.

fun fun fun

Kingpin: Life of crime

Kingpin: Life of crime. I had heard alot about this new game by Xatrix where you played as a thick necked overweight thug trying to make it to the top in a gritty dark world where gangs rule the streets. I had also heard alot about the language and how obusive it was. Well I got the game, and thirty minutes later I was the one cussing like crazy because the game was still installing ist sinful 570 MB. When this little ordeal was over and the game started, I had to sit and wait five more minutes for the game to load the first episode, which seemed surprisingly small for such a long loading time. When it finally loaded, I was forced to watch a lame intro movie with which the F word was gratuitously overused. The Enviroments are highly detailed however and the gamelay is exceptionally good. The AI is superb. Enemies run and duck and jump - even through windows to the streets and alleys below if it means staying alive! You can meet other local drunks and thugs, hire em for money and they'll follow you anywhere, wasting those that get in your way. You can command them to wait in a place and regain health when they're severely injured. You can talk to people however you want from "smack to cool." However as you get farther and farther into the game it seems more and more rushed, and the boss at the end of the game, the Kingpin and his woman is a very unreal fight. You can deal absolutly no damage to his b*tch and he himself is not hard to kill. But overall the games only real weakness is loading, loading and loading. Other then that, its great. Definately a buy if you got at least a pentium 233. Though the game did slow down even on a p-3 with 450 mghz, when there was alot of stuff going on on the screen.
