Among the trend of adapting legendary gangster movies in 2006, The Sopranos thought they'd try their hand with The Sopranos: Road to Respect. How does the show translate to the PS2? (Hint: not well)

For people that are wondering about the echo/reverb on the voiceover:
He's in the process of moving and doesn't have a good recording setup for the moment - it's just a temporary thing, don't worry.
Sato why.. why u gotta point it out
@@Looneyboy because people were wondering what the answer is lol
Sato 1 comment bro. I was just curious ☃️
I didn't even notice until I put on some really nice headphones, and it sounded like he was talking to himself in a dark creepy basement.
looneyboy what
This game never had the makings of a varsity athlete...
"I understpod that reference."
“ I love Boca, I don’t go down enough “
NinjaViking420 Small hands. That was their problem.
Uncle June's a Bushman of the Kalahari.
@@DixieWhiskey South of the Border... Down Mexico Way...
One of the funniest scenes in the show
I’m not surprised to hear that James Gandolfini gave it his all. He was a consummate professional, RIP Jim.
I think that Pussy being proud of Joey getting made actually makes sense. With the Psychiatry theme of The Sopranos, Joey talking to Pussy is just a projection of what Joey *thinks* his dad would tell him.
Or what he wishes his dad would have said.
@@skazkatzroy3444You oughta know sweetie!
"This feels like one of Christopher Moltisanti's screenplays." LMFAO XD I found a new insult.
Newton invented gravity because some asshole hit him with an apple
I remember seeing this at a GameStop and being incredibly confused
jerry cruz I found this games for like 10 bucks years ago I thought it was decent at first but the more I played it I could see why it was hated so much lol
Righteous, my brother rented this when I was a kid. I thought it was aight. I actually didn't know about the show beforehand.
I can't wait for "The Wire: Omar on The Hunt"
🤣😂
He'll be suckn dudes off in the alley for level-ups.
Kiss Brandon to refill special "batman shit" meter
"Oz: Cyrils third chance"
Now that would be great. Rob a Barksdale stash house, steal Prop Joe's shipment, then assassinate one of Marlo's lieutenants
I prefer "The Wire: Omar's Comin'!"
Regardless of the writing, the voice acting in this game can be so good that seeing clips of it it's hard to imagine it not being good.
It's obvious that more than a half of the game's budget was spent on the voice actors. lol
There's some great behind-the-scenes footage of the actor who plays Paulie refusing to wear headphones because they will mess up his hair >

For some reason the fact that 'Piss Boy' didnt wash his hands before punching you in the face made me legitimately upset.
Woke up this morning get me some gabagool
And then I woke up the next day and got some gabagool
And the day after that went and got me some gabagool
Just when they actors thought they were out they pull them back in
Our true enemy, has yet to reveal himself
HEY
WOLFGANG FUCKFACE
wwww we're with the Vipers...

Oh shit TLR love your videos
What's that, your local Girl Scout squad?
Weirdo
11:53 Worthy of a prime time emmy
Calls him piss boy, then says pee pee one sentence later.
Roses are red.
Hesh is a jew.
Jersey? A Family?!!
They're a glorified Crew!!!
😂😂😂😂
Five fuckin' families, then we got this other pygmy thing in jersey
You stole my comment! You evil bastard!
funny bastard
I mean the actual jersey mafia collapsed because when the police cracked down on them almost all of them decided to snitch. Even the boss
Losing Gandolfini was such a gut punch, he was brilliant. But I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming prequel movie.
Doesn’t have the makings for a varsity optimist
Prequels suck. They never work. They always create story inconsistencies and are overly reliant on callbacks and winks to the audience.
@@jacobglaser7773 But what about... nevermind, I got nothing
@@Jdb63 Haha maybe someday they will stumble upon the right formula for prequels. Until then, we'll just have to tolerate The Hobbit.
@@jacobglaser7773 I am pretty new to the series (I first watched the Sopranos all the way through earlier this year) but I completely agree on your point about prequels. The Sopranos is also such a nuanced show that capitalized on great acting, writing, and slow buildups in both Tony's family life and his mob family drama. A movie adaptation just seems wrong by principle. They should leave the show and it's legacy alone since people like Minimme and myself are proof that it is still just as fantastic and engaging as when it came out.
Tony is literally doing the Constanza face on the game cover.
They need to remake this game with same voice recordings and story, just with better gameplay like Mafia 2 and Sleeping Dogs.
And with pump n dump phone call minigame where you pick the right dialogue to sell Webistics. If you fail, Sean pours coffee on you and beat you up.
@@jetnipatteeravithayapinyo2468 And a hand-eye coordination minigame where you play as Christopher and have to convince Tony you’re not high.
@@jetnipatteeravithayapinyo2468 This game takes place after Season 5 and before Season 6 so Sean was already dead in this game.
It feels like a sandbox game where they forgot to put in the driving sections. But this is the early '00s, TV licenses everywhere, Lost, 24, Buffy, Alias Etc. (not to mention a shit load of ones based on BBC kids shows)
24 was a good one though.
@@Reiji_Kurose Sony themselves made it, so it's rare for them to release a stinker.
@@Larry The only gripe I have with the game is how the helicopter behaved on one level. They paid attention to small details like moving cables but couldn't animate a proper helicopter, for some reason.
I think it would be better if it was more like Yakuza
Don't forget Dark Angel
You ever get that gabagool in the morning
Watched The Sopranos just 2 years ago and I definitely agree that they put an effort to capture the places in details and not just quickly throw in environments to make a quick buck
The piss poor gun action didn't help much neither
it's kinda funny seeing Gandolfini voice acting on video, i still just see Tony Soprano and i'm wondering why he is in a studio.
The quirky bits in GTA work because that series is a parody of the US that doesn't take itself super seriously for the most part, whereas The Sopranos is not a parody but a hard-hitting drama. Why they thought of adding a giant dildo as a weapon to a Sopranos game is simply baffling.
well the show pokes fun at the weird overly macho side of people that affects their judgement heavily and makes them act like careless assholes, so having those same people incredibly affected by this way of thinking fight around with giant dildos is just funny and kind of works.
It’s absolutely a parody it’s a dark comedy
@@Skiivin Dark comedy does not equal parody. For example, Fargo is a dark comedy crime drama, but it is not a parody. Many absurd and funny things may happen, but it isn't poking fun at other, similar crime stories. The Sopranos kinda falls into the same category in some ways; it may have a shitload of darkly comedic elements, but that does not automatically make it a parody.
It might not suit the series but it kinda suits the game, it's a game that doesn't take himself seriously, the situations the main character gets in are ridicolously over the top, not in a saints row kind of way but still
@@LanceVanceDance84 yeah it is, it’s making fun of the romanticizing of mob life
eating a picture of minimme every day until he reviews disney planes day 57
Your wish was granted.
woke up this morning, got some gabagool
This video spoke to me on a physical level... Should probably watch the show now.
Budget-Builds Official its awesome
this is like a proto-beta-alpha-demo The Godfathers tie-in game.
I thought the same
antisocialite I liked the 2nd one too It just got really boring after you complete everything
Yeah, it does. But I liked the soundtrack and cars though.
I like your avatar
For 2002 the photorealism was super good, especially since that this looked as good, if not better than vice city. I know vice city was an enormous game at the time, but still, it was impressive.
“So you can go pee pee in a cup? Not gonna happen” has to be one of the most hilarious lines uttered in a game.
This game is a certified hood classic.
There is absolutely not too much Cars. Don't you DARE say that. Not enough, in my opinion.
I just started my yearly Sopranos run. I've watched it once a year since 2011.
Here to remind you to watch it again
@@veigarboiuis5597
Its funny because the Talking Sopranos Podcast has been satisfying the urge to watch it again.
I've got it! The *LOST* game is just like this! It's cool exploring the island and all but it's such a terrible game
Haha, I remember playing the LOST game while I was off work and taking some very strong painkillers. It was the only video game I could play because it required no reaction time or critical thinking whatsoever! If I'm remembering it correctly you have a gun for the entire game but you only get to fire it once?
Here's hoping minimme reviews this one too
Most movie tie ins are dog shit
@@davesrandomgameroom680 weaaaak I game on xanax regularly
The game's story is based on one of Christopher's scripts.
I must be loyle to my capo...
I’m getting this game this weekend.
R.I.P. James Gandolfini
please review the "Brothers in arms" series(not the crappy mobile versions). the most underrated first person ww2 game
This is like the real worlds “cleaver” from the sopranos.
Can you do a video on the warriors by rockstar? Hands down the best movie tie in game imo.
That games the fucking bomb! I remember playing it when I was a kid and couldn’t believe how good it was for being a movie based game
From Russia with Love was pretty good too
Knew it was only a matter of time before you covered this. One of the strangest tie in games ever
Your videos are so cozy to eat dinner or laze around/fall asleep to. Only way they could be better is if they became like, an hour long in-depth analyses.
Sato if i so hear a Brits voice I become violently ill
@@MrCherokeeindian ouch
So minimme and ExoParadigmGamer combined?
@@renanmonteiro316 Well, EPG, or Joseph Anderson, or any number of people that make those super-long videos.
Wow really is big gay mood between you two
Ok, honestly, this is the first tie-in game you review that I had no idea of its existence.
I have always found these tie in games very intresting and its great to se what theyre like, keep up the great work u just got a new sub
I also watched the show fairly recently, it's excellent.
I feel that if the show had come out a bit later Telltale could have made a good game about it.
Oh God no
If you're talking about their interactive movies- no, none of them were good
Yes that could have been a thing.
That was great! I just discovered your channel and am slowly going through all your content.
Thanks!
I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these tie in games. I often feel like you put in more time then these devs. I was wondering if you had ever played Bolt. The Disney movie based game. I've never played it. But I remember no one reviewed it very negatively. Thought it might be up your alley.
“Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in!”
Never thought I"d see the day where I'd see you do weekly uploads. So happy to see you've made it.
🙏
You should do the Reservoir Dogs tie in game!
That game is almost awesome😊
*Psycho Bullet Festival* is the most Japanese-sounding special attack name to come from a Western game.
I remember that too. I found it difficult & I particularly remember the game glitching out on a certain stage & whenever I loaded it up again it would always freeze on the same level. So I never did get to complete it but I weren't that stressed about it either.
I literally came from that review to see this one.
Hey even if I haven't seen the Sapranos, your analysis of the game was good enough to keep me hooked
Same
Oh the 2000s! When every TV show and movie had a video game come out with it! Lol
That's some AMAZING hair physics for ps2 especially!!!
Not much hair physics needed for characters that use an obnoxious amount of hairgel.
Jersey joke.
Another banger video, thanks mate, keep it up!
Dude that bit where you talked about stun locks had me fuming at the footage lol
Subbed 😊. Sopranos brought me here, so glad you reviewed it. Ciao
This game was trash no doubt. But the godfather game was awesome. Hidden gem that was forsure.
Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in 😂
Our true enemy, has yet, to reveal himself.
jon skinner 😂😂😂
I found this thing at a Goodwill, and in retrospect, I probably should have left it there.
Good vid as usual, but I have to admit I'm still waitin' on pins and needles that Sims DS games video.
I beg you man, bring us the Batman Begins tie-in game, it's an absolute gem of the stealth genre worth of being rediscovered!
They should have made the protagonist a real criminal mastermind, Benny Fazio!
Dude I remember playing this game my Freshman year of high school bc my Grandpa bought it. We used to watch the show together, he grew up in 1930s Brooklyn where a lot of mob guys hung out
woke up this morning, gaba-gaba gool
Good review! You should review The Shield game on PS2 as well (any excuse to watch one of the greatest shows ever made)!
R.I.P. Paulie Walnuts
Only thing I can say about this, is that it makes the Godfather game look even better.
Client: we want a Sopranos game
Developer: ok, what’s the budget
Client: I have some bellybutton lint
Developer: we got u fam
For a low budget game, it turned out really good and I really enjoy it! 😀
13:03 Even gangsters wear facemasks
I've seen this review before but... Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
me when im eating at a restaurant and "Don't Stop Believing" is playing
Man that's crazy you made this video I just thought about this game and wanted to see a video about it and I saw this..u got a sub btw
Any1 remember "the shield" videogame?
Buffy the vampire slayer game?
This is probably my favourite channel on UA-cam and that's why I am a Patreon. That and I want him to review Disney Planes.
i beat this game on a rental back in the day and honestly i really liked it but i am a huge fan of The Sopranos, gabagool,and 3D Beat Em Ups (Final Fight Streetwise and Beatdown Fists Of Vengeance are two of the best games of all time imo) and the amount of detail that they went into in the actual sets and things from the show was great to see as a fan
“This game never had the makings of a shinebox “
19:19 It reached me, Minimme. Great vid about a bad game about a great show.
Your thumbnails never fail to surprise me
Ur thumbnails make my day
I have a limited edition of this game lol good vid
really enjoy the content
Thanks for the awesome content, my dude.
I had this game as a kid but disk was too scratched up so i couldn't play it.
Also, how about Scarface: The World is Yours? Have you played it? Maybe you're gonna make a video about it?
I really love that game and it's really interesting to hear your thoughts.
God its so nice to see a youtuber that reviews licensed games that doesn't shout "THIS GAME IS A BUNCH OF POOPY DIARRHEA ASS CRAP" every 3 minutes and actually gives the game a fair shot
I remember loving this game when I was younger.
woahhhhh I never knew this game even existed
I just finished the show for the first time ever, found out there is a movie on the way and now this. Great timing!
Watching this has brought back the frustration I felt about the combat when I plaid this wayyy back in the day on the actual ps2
They manuged to get the drip on him, but Joey was loyle to his capo
Lmao his shitty script
The roof was hot tar!!!
Thought he was daed
Bro, they beating his ass.
I bought this game a few days ago on my nostalgia kick or replaying old titles I never played, especially after recently watching the entire sopranos series it feels like a fun little interactive storyline. Yes it has its flaws, and the combat takes a lot of getting used to (avoid shooting at all costs and always go straight for weapon pickups) but all in all I’m having a blast playing it in 2023
Funny that your background music is from an adult game called: *Mother Seduction* PC and Android visual novel. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny that you knew that
@@lamolambda8349 it just so happens that I stumbled upon this content and hear the music.
@@KyudoKun with your profile pic I don't think it's a coincidence you know the then music to something like Mother Seduction
Carmine always said THQ was nothing but a glorified crew
wOKE up this mornin' got some gabagool
I've been binging all your videos this past week, waiting on a review of Peter Jackson's King Kong video game tie in.
5:31 HE SAID IT HE SAID THE WORD!
Yakuza: Hey Am Walkin 'ere
"i woke up this morning, got that morning wood"
Now I'm imagining how great it would be if Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio decided to make a Sopranos game
I didn't have many games when I was a kid and I've beaten this countless times. I absolutely fucking loved this game. I wouldn't try to watch the series until 12-13 years later. PS2 cut scenes were amazing.
I was watching this at night and the honey ad destroyed my eyes
this game gave me head aches, literally.
You could try the reservoir dogs game next (the ps2 era one)
Huh, first time hearing the patreon supporters while not having it in the background, just realized that Raycevick is a Supporter on Patreon?
Well, you guys certainly do have a niche market, good to see support in one way or another.
