Not that Kingpin itself is particularly realistic, mind you, given that most of the enemies in the game can take a shotgun blast or a couple of pistol rounds in the chest and keep coming. But if it was realistic, then your character would have next to no chance of blasting his way through the hordes of gangsters before him--this is more of a mov...more

KingPin (PC): Violence does not automatically make a game good. (1807 words)

Rating:

The media is a bit weird when it comes to its perception of "news events." Sometimes it is even hypocritical in ignoring one particular item and then picking up on another similar one at a later date. So it should come as little surprise to learn that whereas many previous violent games have recieved significant press attention, the spectacularly violent Kingpin, a 3D shoot-em-up from Xatrix and Interplay, managed to escape the ravages of the press. This is particularly odd, since the far less violent and far less amoral Night Trap was less lucky and received a real media battering many aeons ago, as did the ludicrously violent and ...  Read the complete review

Quake 2 meets Sin City (370 words)

Rating:

Released back in 1999, Kingpin is a gritty and extremely violent first person shooter set in America's crinimal underworld and employing a heavily modified version of the Quake 2 engine. The game sees you play as a down-on-his-luck hoodlum who must work his way up through the criminal ranks by blasting his way through numerous levels filled with gun-toting gangsters and thugs. Essentially its just your usual 3D blast-fest with a few minor puzzle elements thrown in, but the game does possess some features that were rather novel at the time, such as allowing you to hire hitmen in dingy bars using money lifted from enemy corpses, as well as allowing you to blow ...  Read the complete review

KingPin (PC): Hide it when your mum's round (377 words)

Kingpin is an orgy of blood, swearing and great music (provided by Cypress hill). This is an adult game which is not for the faint hearted. the opening sequence contains "motherf**ker no less than 3 times, and it only lasts 20 seconds. To start off with you are a punk beaten within inches of your life by Nicky Blanco's gang. You decide that you're not taking this from anyone any more. So you set off to get revenge, you set to become the Kingpin (the "Big Daddy" of crime). You must fight your way through 6 gigantic episodes of bloodshed. Each episode has a dominant gang and a crime boss (each of them are underlings of the Kingpin who you face in the  Read the complete review

Kingpin: A gang bashing GREAT GAME!! (589 words)

I first played this game at my friend’s house. My first reaction was another shoot ‘em up game, another game trying to reach ‘Quake’ standard. After playing ‘Quake’ and ‘Half-life’ I thought, there will be no comparison, ‘Quake’ and ‘Half-life’ will blow it away. But after seeing my friend play it and having a few games myself, I thought there might be a chance. After seeing all the violence and listening to all the swearing and cussing, I thought Yeah! This is my kind of game. What also made me impressed with this game was the ability to create your own ‘HARDASS’ gang. From people ...  Read the complete review

KingPin (PC): Punchbag No2 (348 words)

This game took the reins from Grand Theft Auto and become the media's new punchbag, this game was criticised for it violent gameplay and use of swear words, subsequently it had an 18 slapped on the box. Kingpin is a 1st person shooter game with a gangster theme. You start the game as a lowlife scumbag who has just had the beating of his life from two thugs; they leave you bleeding in a dirty alleyway. When you finally come round you find a lead pipe in a rubbish bin, and you decide to seek revenge. As you progress through the game you discover it was Kingpin who organised your beating so you decide to kill him and take over his business. ...  Read the complete review
