I've seen this game and I can recommend it highly for:

1. Any parents seeking to vigourously demonstrate their inability to tell their children "no;"

2. Any parents who want to show the extent to which they have divested themselves of bringing up their kids w/any kind of respect for others;

3. Any parents who are mostly focused on teaching their children how to satisfy their more primitive urges through violent, immediate gratification;

4. Any parents who are actively cultivating sociopathy in their children...

This is THE game!

This is a hot seller for all of the above reasons, so get to the store before they're sold out... push some people over and step on them, if you have to.

If you're interested in trying to teach your kids a value system that's different from the current culture's, you will be profoundly disappointed in, and disgusted by, this game.

WOW

I almost bought this game for my son, but read these reviews first. After realizing that none of the people reviewing this product could either spell or form a complete sentence, I decided to opt for something educational. Parents, keep this in mind!

this is not a good game

This is by far the worst game I have ever played. Let me tell you that the beef in the market was so bad tasting that I had to eat the monkey that make the jello. And I am just getting started. This game also has a lot of cd's that can hurt a bo- bo and damage the skin. i really hate this game so you should keep it far from kids because of the mokeys.

It doesn't have anything

Reasons not to buy...

9 hours of eighties music

You can shoot a guy's leg off and he'll hop around screaming as blood squirts high into the air, but will he fall off a cliff or write your name on the street in his own blood so police will know who killed him? --- No

Ray Liotta is gonna do voices, but how about real mobsters like Tony Soprano and Sal "Big Pussy" Bompensiero? No

Can you build an army of crazed warrior monks to swarm through the streets, hacking people to bits for no reason at all and possibly causing them to rout? No

Are you gonna be able to save anywhere? Probably not

Will you be able to visit a sexy shrink to "talk about it"? No

worse than GTA 3

The hype for this game is not to be believed. The frame rate is slow, the graphics are the same as GTA3 (not great) and the vehicles, though plentiful, are based on the same physics models for the previous title. Yeah you can ride motorbikes, but so what? The game is the same as GTA3, only difference is a different city layout and a few more vehicles.

As a mother and a grandmother

Please think twice before buying this game for a young child. This is one case where you can not always get what you want. My grandson got this gift from 'santa' and I'm very disappointed. Santa did not look at the rating or the contents. I'm very pleased that the game makers do put the ratings out there but as parents and grandparents, we need to follow the advice of the ratings. This game is not for the youngsters.

Yes, I do agree that its the parents responsibilities to teach the child the difference between a game and real life. And yes, I do realize that a child will see much more on a made-for-tv movie. However, I control what is on my tv. And I won't even let my 15 year old son own this one. Now if it was designed that the player is the detective trying to solve the crimes it would be different. That would make it a great game.

You missed out, you pudgy flock of future high school janitors. Choke on your filthy pastime!

Good day, morons.

Unless you are a hard core gamer, this game is too hard, needlessly so, for the casual gamer. The "Demolition Man" mission is nearly impossible. The third assassination mission also is too linear and doesn't allow for any variation from the script. Other missions are so simplistic that a five-year old could complete them. Despite what the manufacturer says about open-ended play, the missions are completely linear. There is only one way to complete a given mission.

If you just want to drive around and rob people or do the insane jumps, the game is playable, but it gets boring pretty quickly.

I have rated this game 1 star because I want this review to be read amidst the other one star reviews. In all honesty I enjoyed this game but I wanted this review to be posted with the one star crowd (remember this is not a review on the game but a statement in its defense about the violent and sexual content it contains). If you do not like a game that is one thing but to bash it on its content and exaggerate is another. Where in this game can you rape women? The women were all clothed (even in the Pole Position; I played this game thoroughly and extensively). Sure you can pick up prostitutes and by the money disappearing from your bank it alludes to sex but thats about racy as you are going to get in that category. What about violence towards women? How about millions of other things detested by these reviewers? Are they right should the government take this off the shelves and should parents be ultra vigilante with keeping this game from their childrens hands? Obviously these reviewers missed the point about the game. The point is simple: real life. The game allows you to choose between a moral and unmoral lifestyle (granted unmoral is not fun). So if you harbor aggression towards women this game might bring it out. Though the game is not aggressive towards women or any other group it is a direct reflection of who is playing it. Also by getting their aggression out in a video game instead of real life the game might help curb violence. Everyone knows that bottling things inside is the worst possible thing for psychological health so this game might be good therapy. I highly doubt that a pacifist will come out from playing this game a serial killer. So that being said I hope people can weigh different sides of the argument for this game. I hope some parent reads this before making a hasty decision from the mere thoughtless is immature reviews posted by countless others. Besides most of the people have exaggerated the true content of this game making it out far worse than it really is. Also by taking this game off shelves Americans are forfeiting their rights of freedom of speech no matter what their messages are. (Please note I am not a company man)

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FOR YOUR KIDS... PLEASE

If your youngster is begging and pleading for you to purchase this game for them, I would highly discourage complying to their will. Is is not a game that is suitable for anybody who is of an age where they are so hugley influenced by what they see. Unless of course you think car-jackings are cool, murder is COOL, Killing cops is Cool, Breaking the law is Cool, massacring cities is cool, et cetera. This game rewards your child for the shear amount of destruction that they can create. If I was the manufacturer of this video game, I could not live with myself. It is of utter dissatisfaction to me that this game is so highly popular in our country. I hope that you do not choose to support something that will so awfully influence your child. Teach them how to play chess or go spend some time with them at the park. Please DO NOT let them sit in front of the television for hours on end absorbing the terrible nature of this game.
