Doesn't run in windows 7, the mouse cursor is not visible. GOG does not have any options for help with this problem.
I've played many FPS titles over the years, but this one has to be one of the worst. The game feels clunky, modern and unresponsive. The enemies are not fun to kill, and the weapons are not exciting enough to enjoy using. The overall design of the game is just like blaahh... it's almost as if this game was made by fans making an unprofessional game mod for quake 2 or something. But if you like shooting down hoards of unconvincing looking baddies with a pea shooter, then this is your game. Honestly, I could not play past the first several stages, it became so boring.
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."
This game makes no sense at all. Just a bunch of dull walking about and trying to figure out some stupid puzzle that makes no sense. How this game came to be is the real puzzle.
This game is starts you off in some ugly place filled with guards, and doesn't seem to allow you to creep about very well or to be able to fight them effectively. I just got tired of this dull and frustrating game very quickly and gave up. Yawn. Back to dungeon keeper 2...
