Butchery of a masterpiece.

User Rating: 3.4 | Reservoir Dogs XBOX
From the start I have been questioning the need of a game based off the Tarantino masterpiece, Reservoir Dogs. I guess the movie was not enough for some viewers or the premise of the story left too many unanswered questions. But somethings are better left unknown. Like what happened to MR. Blue or where Mr. Pink stashed the diamonds. I still gave the game the benefit of the doubt and rented it for myself to see and I must say it wasn't worth the $3.50.

First I'll give you the good news, K. Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s. The sound track was straight from the film which was great considering it's perfect to begin with. The second good thing was that Michael Madsen did the voice for Mr. Blonde, but that could also be a down fall because he was the only one from the original cast who was involved with the game. Now for the big part of the review, the bad news. The game, though based off of the movie, had a horrible story. Some of the cutscenes were missing lines from the film, there was too much action for a story that doesn't need it and the voice acting didn't seem to match the characters. It was not because it wasn't the original actors but because they didn't sound like the original actors. The main flaws though were the out dated graphics, how the characters didn't look like their movie counterparts and the repetitive gameplay and missions. I did like how you could command hostages to put their hands against the wall, but it didn't seem needed at times.

Overall the game was a butchery of a masterpiece and should have never been made. Don't waste your time or your money on it because it's not worth any and if you haven't seen the movie yet go rent it, believe when I say it's one the best crime drama movies out there except it just has one of the worst game adaptations ever.
