Description
As a thug beaten to the brink of death you have started your mission of revenge. You want to bury those bastards six feet under for what they have done to you, but to do so you need to start your own gang and recruit right from the streets. If a new gang member turns out to be a punk, blast him, and make room for new ones. Move up in the world, but watch out for the Kingpin, eventually you're going to have to take him on.

Somewhere in the past that never crossed paths with the future lies the world of the Kingpin. Burned out buildings and urban decay are the landscape. Local gangs roam the streets, protecting their turf and scooping out opportunities.

Recruit a gang of thugs and rule the streets, snuff out rivals with a single head-shot and watch them bleed to death. Or put them on fire and watch them suffer. You will deliver an extremely brutal and violent death to those who messed you up. Kill everyone who stands in your way and become new Kingpin - crime lord of every thief, murderer and dirty thug in the city.
  • Bloody, brutal, swearing-heavy combat - one of the first truly adult-oriented games
  • Impressive graphics and AI for its time
  • An Original Soundtrack by Cypress Hill

Fun, violent, shooter.

The simplistic revenge plot is a excuse to run around and blow & shoot stuff up. Varied environments. Bizarre urban atmosphere and excellent gunplay. Single player is a tough nut to crack but a great run n' gun from the late 90's.

Classic FPS

I forgot how fun this game really is. It had many cool features back in the day when it came out that most FPSs these day must include if they want to be the best. The game features some limited but fun interaction with NPCs, an original soundtrack (by Cypress Hill no less) and fast paced, frantic action. Oh and some awesome easter eggs from the Big Lewbowski and Pulp Fiction!

Yo ho ho a bag of big dope...

I loved this game... from the music to the "trash talking" simulation. walking up to random people, acting all calm, then all of a sudden snapping at them and pulling out your gun is just CLASSIC... This game is too fun to pass up. ;)

Unfinished but Classy

I like it's grunge and edgy setting, as well as the concept of having to play as a low level grunt - who wishes to work his way up the food chain. Sadly the game feels unfinished and the gameplay is more akin to a slow-paced and stodgy strategy game, than that of an action FPS. I'd argue that this title resembles as an immersive sim more, than just being an action FPS. This game has potential and runs flawlessly on modern systems when patched, but I think you're better off at playing Soldier of Fortune 1. (2.5/5)

This is the first time I played this

Non-existent story and childish attempts at being mature aside, it's a genuinely solid retro shooter that introduced some interesting ideas for the time. The sidekick A.I. isn't perfect and gets stuck sometimes, which may be annoying but for the most part, it works fine and these guys are actually helpful in combat. Optional objectives and ability to interact with NPCs is also pretty cool but I thought it was under-utilized. Probably the first optional mission is the most intricate way this whole system was implemented but as soon as you acquire some useful guns, side activities become very rare and you'll be spending most of your time squeezing gats till the clip is empty. Regardless, it's an entertaining Quake 2-era FPS which deserves its place among the classics of the genre. The very same studio was later renamed to Gray Matter and went on to make an excellent Return To Castle Wolfenstein and you can feel some of this game in Kingpin.
