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.
