It may not be king, bit it makes a great prince
The Good: Graet customization letting you be whoever you want and covers everything from sex, race, age and everything else you can imagine and if you feel like a fresh look you can always visit image as designed for a new face. The high level of customizationg also carries over to the clothing with many different options available and you can also customize the style and colour of the clothes aswell. There is also slightly less customizable items such as cars and your many houses. Overall the voice acting is of a very high with no-one really giving a poor performance. Wide range of firearms from the normal such as pistols and machine guns to the strange such as shock paddles and stun guns. The respect system has gone through a overhual aswell as the activities which are genuinely fun and can earn you some cool clothes. There is also some humour thrown in during the cutscenes but are much mor previlant in the hillarious radio ads.
The Bad: A huge amount of technical problems ranging from the various bugs to the just plain ugly grphics. The bad graphics also carry into the cutscenes which are fine for the samedi and brotherhodd but for some areason are completely horrible for the ronin. The story is pretty basic with only a limited amount of predictable twists but in the end it does do it's job. Doing stronghold after stronghold does get tiring after a while.
If you can deal with the bad production values you are assured of some fun with this game.
