 Oh my god - can EA get any worse? July 3, 2008

Eurgh, this game disgusted me.
I didn't buy it, my brother did cos he loves the films, but we both think the A.I. in this game is terrible, and it sounds and looks too much like medal of honor.
Yes, there are scenes where it's from the film etc, but the graphics aren't even great.
I've never really liked EA either, the A.I. has always been crap and a bit dissapointing - and also when you're trying to kill an enemy, it locks onto someone else you don't want and may sometimes not even attack.
Wasn't worth a buy - maybe for my brother, but I thought it was crap.
Bleh - 2 stars.
 Decent non linear game April 9, 2008

This game is a change from most movie based games in that it actually stands on it's own merits.
The mission based section of the game has you doing jobs that actually appear in the movie (assasinating Paulie & Mob bosses)
However there is a whole section of other "jobs" to be done the main bulk of which is extorting money from businesses.
IMHO i would seek to do some missions then extort some businesses to start bringing in money for yourself (which you'll need for weapon upgrades). Stay clear of attempting to take over rival families warehouses & compounds though as the crew you can hire only becomes effective once you have gained a high enough rank and have nearly completed the mission part of the game.
You'll then find the game more enjoyable and less frustrating as some of the enemies are inteligent (ducking behind walls and shooting you).
There is enough variety beyond the normal Linear type games and you can explore the city to your hearts content taking other missions (either hits or favours)
This is actually a really enjoyable game.
 Like saints row but in the 1950'S April 7, 2008

This game is very similar to saints row in the same way that you have to become the most powerful gang in the city, you can do this in any way possible, you can choose to take over a varied amount of shops such as barber shops flower shops etc, you can rob banks, beat up casino owners and do odd jobs like taking out rival gangs main men, and so much more.
There are loads of missions for you to get through which all follow a fantastic plot, and the voice acting is amazing. The main story missions will take you about 6-7 hours to finish and there are a bunch of side missions which could take up to 10 hours to finish because there are just so many, and after you have done all the missions to get 100% game completion you have to take over every business and racket (casino's private parties etc)
The weapons in the game are all unique in their own way, take for example the Tommy gun (my personal favourite) you can upgrade the Tommy gun and every other gun into something more powerful, accurate and something which can hold more ammo, the Tommy gun upgrades into a Dillinger.
I thought that EA have done a good job with the graphics considering they had to work with an original Xbox game graphics and enhance them a bit, they are in no way perfect but they are acceptable, the faces of the characters are great but the cars and the textures of the buildings are not all that great considering what the Xbox 360 is capable of.
Your character in the game starts out quite boring but you can buy new clothes, shoes, accessories (like sunglasses), and you can get your hair cut. As you gain respect you can upgrade your characters skills like fighting, shooting, speed and so on.
Overall I would rate this game 9.5/10 due to its graphics but everything else about this game is brilliant

strengths : this game has a gd plot which is the same as the move, not to bad graphics i mean there not top notch but acceptable
weakness: when figihtnin or shooting it takes a while to get used to the controls, everything is expensive!
