Well, at a pinch you can argue the soundtrack is decent, but then, having spent so much money signing the cream of the UK and European rap scene, that's to be expected although if you're not into your hardcore hip-hop, you'll not find anything here to appeal other than the Music Off option.
The attempt at creating a free-roaming world does offer some interest, although with no option to use vehicles or swing the camera into a view that feels comfortable, it all feels very sub-GTA. That's Crime Life's biggest problem really. Whatever differences there are other than in terms of quality unfortunately ring of being marketing-led and as such feel venomous, cynical and morally bankrupt.
Applying a random lead pipe battering to an old woman in the street, for instance, often results in absolutely no negative consequence whatsoever.
Which sends out a reprehensible message to the more impressionable gamers especially over on the console market, which is where most of Crime Life's sales will take place. Am I being over-sensitive? No, I don't think so. I'd happily recommend the similarly violent GTA series, but mainly on grounds of quality gaming.
Crime Life fails in both gaming and moral terms. What we wouldn't have given for a few shiny rings to collect. This one time? I was rounding up some hookers for a rich guy in "Blingsley Hills"--we all get in a big street brawl, me, the hookers, and one of my pals against a bunch of guys that I know are bad because they're wearing blue vests. One of the hookers is getting low on health if she dies, the mission restarts , so I leave the melee and run three blocks to the burger shop.
I buy the ailing hooker--who's still fighting down the street, remember--a nice burger with fries, which refills her health bar. As the battle rages, I stay in the safety of the burger joint, monitoring health bars and buying food when folks are about to die. This was the only fun moment I had with Crime Life, and it wasn't even, you know, literal fun; it was "hawhaw, what a stupid game" fun.
I played Crime Life for over 10 hours before I put the controller down in disgust--not because it's a crass, mindless brawler designed to hit the lowest thug denominator although that didn't help , but because it's so fundamentally terrible.
The button-pounding gameplay is an ugly mess, the graphics, an even uglier mess, and the "urban" trappings are just embarrassing. I didn't finish Crime, but I know i didn't miss any good parts. The back of the box reads, "So you wanna be a gangsta? From Crime Life's ridiculous missions steal "bling" so your boss can dress better, go get wasted and then beat the crap out of five nobodies--are you kidding me?
Just imagine for a second that you wanted a Gl Joe action figure for your birthday, but instead someone bought you that shoddy, odd-looking doll dressed in army fatigues with a Spider-Man head from the dollar store. This whole gangsta subgenre that grew up around San Andreas is hurting.
