***hoopstar789's REVIEW*** to 25 to Life.
1. GRAPHICS-The game's visuals aren't all that bad for last-gen but there a couple bland textures and pop up issues everynow in then but overall the chacter models look excellent, the blood effects are right on, and the way the City looks really looks like what Los Angeles would look like. Since the game was problaey low budget, the game takes quite a while to load textures and bullet holes and explosions look fake. OVERALL the game's graphics are decent for an 06 game but Im sure that during that time period, my eyes were peered at Call of Duty 2.
2. GAMEPLAY- This is the main reason why this game was got negative reviews, this game, has got to be, the worst, sluggish, and most unimpressive gameplay in the face of God's Green Earth. The controlls are Johnny on the spot but due to the fact that your chacter runs really slow, aiming is boring, and constally getting killed by DEADAIM A.I. is a real pain in the bronx. OVERALL the game's gameplay is really bad for 06, matter in fact, this game's gameplay mechanics would be really bad to pass for a PSX game.
3. STORY- The game has quite an amazing story with twists and turns but to be honest, I couldn't really keep up with the story due to the fact that I was to busy argueing about the game's gameplay,OVERALL the game's story wasn't completly bad but it wasn't that great either, the game does a decent job in story but The game was over before you rembered "Wait, whos the bad guy again?!?!?!?"
4.MULTIPLAYER- The game's multiplayer is the only real reasin to pick up this game, since at the moment no one plays it, I will go back a few years to tell you how the game's multiplayer did, First of all connecting to a match was quite a pain, just finding a good game was hard, the game never really did lift off in the Multiplayer, but once you'd find a game that you can play, it was a blast. Poping caps in fools was just great, killing other people and watching them whine cause they mowed you down with an MP5 and you took one pot shot with a Sniper was completly satisfying. OVERALL the game;s multiplayer was great but just finding a game to connect to wasn't, don't try to go online now because the game's online community has been dead for some time now.
5.OVERALL- The game trys to be another GTA clone but fails to do so, the games A.I. must have aimbot on, the gameplay was sluggish, and the games internet connection to servers was bad. But the game makes up with incredible fun with online(online community is dead for this game now) somewhat interesting story, and decent graphics. Back in 06 i would say this game is at the most worth a rent, but now since years have passed and this game is old, I would say pick it up for around 3-5 dollars and just play the story just becaused you were bored. This is Hoopstar789's fair review for Eidos's 25 to Life.
OVERALL SCORE: 5.5
