This game is one of Namco's best. They have really reddemed themselves with this. The graphics kind of suck, because it looks almost as if it was on Playstation 2, evn with the cutscenes. The gameplay, however, is excellent. I couldn't wait to get this game when it came out. Another thing that makes it seem almost real is the mini-games. I mean you'd probably be found going throught stuff like that in a movie like this. I'm glad they give this mini-game type stuff to you insted of letiing the cutscenes do it for you.

Now comes the story. Jack Slate is a K-9 Grant City police officer who has been framed for murdering a gangster that his father was investigating. He then escapes prison and heads off to Chinatown for some information. Soon he gets involved investigating his father's case. Then, he finds out that some people who should be good guys are really the bad guys such as the mayor and escpecially the head of the police. I won't give away any more of the plot. Most of it is a revenge plot anyway.
This game is a lot like Max Payne in respect of the plot and the diving. Although I like this one a hell of a lot better, it's more intense and fun. I spent days trying to beat it, then finally got the strategy guide because I was so frusterated. I also like it in respect of the difficulty. It his very hard to complete. What sucks is how in games like this, there is no "get the girl" stuff, which really ruined it for me. Also, the fact that they don't move their lips while they speak in the actual game, not cutscenes, sucks. I mean they've had the technology for that since 2000 and they can't do it now? What's wrong with them?It still is a great game. I'll go for any action game out there. Play this, you'll love it. I guarantee you. 7/10
