When all is said and done, however, Kingpin is at its heart a violent, fast paced shooter. Enemies are smart enough to keep you on your toes, and wield pretty powerful weapons. Although repetitive, gameplay is challenging enough to hold most players interest over time. Anyone looking for some action packed shoot-outs in a seedy, goon filled underworld should have a lot of fun with Kingpin. The designers have used high quality graphics to create a unique, urban world.
Backgrounds are almost photo-realistic.
In game dialogue contains more profanity than a Quentin Tarantino film festival. If you've got kids in the house, you may consider playing this one with headphones. These are the best graphics I've seen in years. The kills are gruesome, the weapon selection is great, and the all around scenery looks so real that you feel like you are in the game. I highly prefer playing on the net.
