Kingpin: Life of Crime

This game wasnt about singleplay. The core of the game was in multiplayer with great variation of CTF called Bagman. Good tactics and team coordination was the key to succes in bagman. It was suited for Clan battles. I spend a lot of time with this game on old server gamezone.cz, in my clan Marcello Assasins. It was a good time and I have to recommend this game.

Holds up really well

One of the titles you have to play at least one time

It's not the best old school FPS around, but it's certainly not the worst neither! It has its pros and its cons. Some of the pros? Solid action, nice weapon selection, smart gang member a.i. and the voice acting ain't half bad! Some of the cons on the other hand, include way too much vulgar language, it feels like it's trying too hard to be edgy and cool. It runs on id Tech 2, which powered the mega hit game Quake II. However, for some reason, Quake II looks better than Kingpin. The models have an "under water" wavy effect on them, and people look a bit too chunky or buff. Also, while I love Cypress Hill, they didn't use their music well at all. Which is a damn shame. Overall, for the current price, you can't go wrong, love it or hate it, it did manage to do a couple new things. If you enjoy other old school FPS games, buy this and play it. See for yourself!

Even in its time Kingpin was a mediocre mess of a game running on the aging Quake engine, but it had a gimmick in limb dismemberment which set it apart, not to mention being practically unheard of in a 3D game in 1999 (Soldier of Fortune two years later would up the ante for gore in a shooter.) Other than that, it was a wholly forgettable game.
