Almost unplayable

I have no nostalgia for this game. There is pretty good unofficial patch to get the modern widescreen resolutions working, but the gameplay is just horrible. Shooting is so crap and takes the fun out of the game. Level design is meh and game is lacking in giving players some guidance to get the gameplay basics familiar. Maybe the coming reloaded version will make this even playable, but as it is, this is not worth it.

About as fun as pulling teeth

One of the most frustrating experiences of my life. Horrible level design and even worse shooting mechanics. It's almost like the game uses "automiss" which is the opposite of autoaim, of course. Frankly, some of the stiffest and least satisfying shooting of all time, which is a terrible shame because it is a Quake 2 engine game. Don't even try to kill anybody with an unmodded pistol or lead pipe. Once you get your hands on the magnum mod for the pistol it becomes a bit more useful but not by much. Enemies still run all over the place completely at random and shuffle side to side during firefights, making themselves incredibly annoying to hit with such a crappy weapon with a low rate of fire. The level desgin is so bad. For example, you'll venture into an area and progress to a point only to realize it's a completely dead end. Turns out you have to backtrack to talk to some guy you didn't notice before, and he's just standing in an alleyway somewhere. The structure is like Hexen, only very poorly done. I really can't recommend Kingpin: Life of Crime unless you're a masochist who enjoys painful trial and error gameplay. In which case buy it right now, because it is definitely a game that is difficult in all the wrong ways.

Buggy, uninspired and a waste of time.

I normally wait until I finish a game to review it. Kingpin didn't give me that option. Why? A stupid door that wouldn't open. Yes, I know I could have cheated (which is an ordeal in itself on Win7), but if i am forced to, then the game has failed. It's story is a been-there-done-that tale of revenge that makes absolutely no sense when it transitions from one place to another. (Why the hell am I going to the docks?! Didn't the guy I want to kill just drive away?) Graphically, this could've just been a Quake mod and society at large wouldn't have to suffer knowing this existed as a retail product. The moral of the story: "Just because it has guns, doesn't mean it's fun."

Decent Quake 2 clone

Kingpin uses the excellent quake 2 engine and is quite well made, the design succeeds in creating a grim urban environment filled with various types of inner city scum, and various weaponry to unleash upon them as well. The game is quite engaging and I especially enjoyed feeling as if I was an outsider, creeping through the wood work of this dingy realm, dispatching various scumbags that got in my way, and taking their wallets. However, there are some things that I don't like about this game, mostly to do with the weaponry. First of all, the guns are instant hit, which doesn't make any sense at all and is quite unrealistic. If an enemy is a long distance and fires a gun at me, I should be able to dodge out the way, but not in this game. The enemy does not seem to miss either, which makes the game too hard and is absolutely no fun. Instead of fighting hollywood style gun battles you'll be cursing as your health meter runs down to nothing, and this game has very little health or ammo. Some might point out that this is more of an adventure game, but it's not, it's just an FPS with an urban theme. Also, the guns are not powerful enough when firing in close quarters. I did enjoy the tommy gun, however, and even used that sound to replace the machine gun in other quake based games like half life. Over all, worth buying for the low price here, but it's definitely a bargain bin game rather than a "classic."
