All n' all a pretty enjoyable crime-themed strategy, if a little plain and unpolished.
User Rating: 7.7 | Legal Crime PC
Legal Crime is a real time strategy that puts you in charge of your own mafia. You extort businesses to gain money, then recruit thugs to do your dirty work. As a whole the game is pretty fun, but feels a bit unpolished. Graphics can best be described as plain. Nothing really looks that good, not to mention the fact your men are just as big as buildings (or more correctly, buildings are as small as your men). The cities you play on don't look very good either, all using the same color scheme and buildings. It's enough to get the point across and still enable you to have fun, though. Sound is the same way, but not as plain. Sound effects are nice, you'll hear your thugs giving you their thoughts and accepting your orders, you'll hear gunfire, etc... Again, not the best, but they get the point across. The gameplay is this: You recruite gang members and then order them to go and take over businesses. Or as the Mafia would put it, you 'protect' those businesses for a small fee. Collectors will then go out and collect that money and bring it back to your headquarters, which means you must protect those men in order to get your money. Eventually you'll be able to extort those businesses and upgrade them to some less than legal establishments to bring in loads more money. In order to do that, first you must bribe the FBI, the police and the government. You set a percentage of what you earn to go to bribing these and eventually gain access to better upgrades as well as better men. Bribing the cops also allows you to do various other acts against rival gangs too. That is what most of the gameplay will be. Taking over businesses, upgrading them, and protecting them. Eventually, once you're strong enough, you can go and attack rival gangs to win (or whatever the mission objectives tell you to do). You can do this by brute force, sending in specialists, or just have a drive by mow down the competition.
