Disadvantages: Old now

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 last episode). You are not meant to do this alone however. The game has a neat feature which enables you to hire a few gangsters with money looted from the dead bodies. You can give them basic orders like "attack" and "wait."

The game features 9 realistic weapons, no plasma rifles or anything like that. Machine guns and shotguns and similar weapons are the order of the day. Limbs can be blown off and the bullet wounds look ultra-realistic. One of the best moments in the game is when you first blow someone's head right off their shoulders.

Now on to the multiplayer. Xatrix (the developers) haven't been lazy about the multiplayer side of the game. The pings are very low (that's good in case you didn't know) so that makes for some fast and furious deathmatch shenanigans. A wide range of skins and models are available. For each of the 3 models there a 3 different body segments. The head, torso and legs. About 200 different skins for each body segment on each model, so you more than likely using an original DM skin. The DM levels are well designed with lots of hidden nooks and crannies. There are maps designed for the team-based bagman DM variation which basically involves being the richest team at the end of the timelimit.

In conclusion: Ki
ngpin is a good balanced game, with its own style. It's a bloody decent game.
