Kingpin for Windows PC is a ghetto FPS

byphungus Apr 17, 2006

Pros Runs very well on newer machines, original setting
Cons Excessive to the point of boring
Recommended it? Yes

Some of my co-workers used to pick on me about being a 'bargain bin gamer' because I was always playing old stuff. Well, here I am again with yet another dirt cheap title called Kingpin. At the time of its release, this little game caused quite a controversy due to its graphic violence and... Read full review »

King Pin is okay

Pros The levels look really good, graphics and sounds are excellent.
Cons It kind of gets boring after a while when all you do is kill anyone you see
Recommended it? No

This is a first person shooter game like Quake2 and Half-Life, but the only differencet is that this game is all about blood and gore. This is a very, very, violent game. No wonder it says under 17 you can't buy it. The story of this game is that you are out to become the head of the gangs. Beat up... Read full review »

Kingpin: the little Quake Expansion Pack with the big Ego.

Pros Interesting use of the Quake 2 engine.
Cons Same ol', same ol'.
Recommended it? No

Summary: Kingpin is a wannabe gangsta version of Quake 2, with nicer artwork. The roleplaying aspect sucks, and the violence is overhyped. The Cypress Hill songs are unimpressive. Kingpin is a decent shoot-em-up clone, but I wouldn't pop more than $15 for it.

"Shoot a snitch in the kneecaps, or suff out a rival with a single head-shot and watch them bleed to death" pretty well describes the overall strategy behind Interplay's newest recommendation to teen's & young adults regarding their stress management. After installing and selecting "adult" in the... Read full review »

Kingpin king of games?

Pros good graphics
Cons bad language
Recommended it? No

Kingpin is one of the newest games to use the Quake II engine. Although the Quake engine is aging, this game looks pretty sweet. From the colored lighting to the fog and water effects this game looks good. But the problem is - Quake III and Unreal have and will do this better. The background is... Read full review »

Pros Realness, incredible graphics
Cons violence, language
Recommended it? Yes

Kingpin is an accurate portrayal of gang life on the streets of the slums. Using killer instincts one must obtain allies to infiltrate the base of the head gang. Kingpin uses explicit violence and language to incorporate a sense of reality in the gameplay. With the option to turn off the explicit... Read full review »

Cool Game

Pros great realism, great music
Cons corny ending
Recommended it? Yes

Kingpin is a dark and gritty game but that's what makes it so fun. It was meant to be a foul-mouthed and bloody game and that's exactly what it is. Kingpin is a non-stop shooter with a little bit of adventure. It's bloody, loaded with four letter words, and is definitely meant for a mature crowd... Read full review »

Pros Very amusing, good graphics
Cons Hard to get used to
Recommended it? Yes

Just a warning, this game is NOT for children. Albiet hilarious for adults, buy this game for a 7 year old, and you'll have bible beaters on you for attempting to create another Columbine. Very "realistic" violence. Hold your gun to anyone on the street, and you're bound to get shot, very fast... Read full review »

Pros awesome graphics
Cons requires heavy hardware
Recommended it? Yes

This game was almost banned by Congress, and I?m not surprised. It?s full of cussing, swearing and killing. But graphically speaking its excellent and my favorite game of the millennium! (unless Duke Nukem4ever comes out soon) This game demands serious computing power, with recommended 300 mhz,... Read full review »
