hi everyone thanks for watching, someday i'll review all the 2006 third-person gangster games based on beloved licenses that all came to exist as a response to both the success of Grand Theft Auto and licensed games in the early-to-mid 2000s - here's a few i've looked at so far:
Scarface: ua-cam.com/video/9UqfjeHoDFQ/v-deo.html
Miami Vice: ua-cam.com/video/0lKoWaalADY/v-deo.html
The Sopranos: ua-cam.com/video/p0BXKDc1st0/v-deo.html
The Godfather: ua-cam.com/video/a21D9NmEyEc/v-deo.html
MINORTITY REPORT MY GUY! IT HAS YOUR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER ON IT!
Would the Starsky and Hutch game also count towards that list? Granted it's not based off a gangster themed license but still...
I hear if you do them all, your next games industry bandwagon is free!
Red dead did it a year earlier with red dead revolver
What about the Warriors? That game was probably the best (excuted) mid-2000 licensed movie game there is and is actually made by the creators of Grand Theft Auto.
This and the Scarface game were my secret ps2 gems.
Me and my friends
played here in Brazil without even understanding the language, but oh boy! we had fun
Vc tinha visto o filme já? Ou jogou na Zuera? Kkkk
Legendao
Opa,que surpresa legal!
melhor que esses dois era só o BOMBA PATCH do camelô kkkkkkkkkkkjj
Scarface was a hidden gem for sure 😎
This would make a sick telltale game. One cop is undercover and you find out who all through dialogue and light action
Like Borderlands, right?
This was the oddest choice of a movie to make a game out of. A dialogue heavy movie about failed heist gets turned into a game. I remember when I was first saw this sitting on the shelf at my local Family Video. I couldn’t believe it and I had to rent to it.
The Fight Club one is even weirder!
I mean it isn't really its interesting to see what happens to Mr blue. Also cool you get to see Mr blondes escape
Ikr I was very confused how they would adapt that into a game I thought it was fake
The whole hostage mechanic was actually kinda fun althought the whole "Hey wanna know what these guys were doing outside of the warehouse?" was a weird idea for a plot. It's a shame that the collective never got to do their Dirty Harry game.
Clint Eastwood is very conservative he wouldn't allow any Dirty Harry game.
@@soulbrother5435 He was actually gonna play Dirty Harry in the actual game, look it up. Lawrence Fishburne was gonna be in it as an activist as well.
@@soulbrother5435 what @invidente7 said, plus there had already been a NES game before
@@soulbrother5435 nah he's actually more of a libertarian thankfully
I wouldn't mind a PS2 game for Dirty Harry Or Taxi Driver
My favorite part is how they couldn't even get Tarantino's fucking likeness and he made the movie.
Usually when that happens, the creators knows the products quality and don't want to be associated with it.
@@that_deadeyegamer7920 How though? You can't make the game before being sure that you have their likenesses. No, I imagine Tarantino (At the time) probably thought that games were mindless horseshit and refused to lend his likeness. Maybe today he thinks differently, but back then they hardly had good reputation among film makers.
@@writershard5065 yes you can? Lmao. Look at all the shitty licensed movie games, they rarely use the likeness of the actors. Hell Bad Boys: Miami Takedown couldn't even use the premise of the movie for a campaign for their game, nor get Will Smith or Martian Lawrence to do voices.
@@writershard5065 he didn't own the rights to the movie so they didn't need his likeness to go through with it.
I remember when the Mission: Impossible N64 game came out and Ethan Hunt looked like a bland cross between Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck. That game was probably the first instance of where we had the technology to make the character look like the actor, but the studio couldn't afford the rights to the actor's likeness. It was a big joke back then, but now we just take it for granted that like, Laurie Strode in Dead by Daylight looks nothing like Jamie Lee Curtis.
My understanding is that this goes back to George McFly in Back to the Future II. They replaced Crispin Glover with another actor, then put makeup on him so he'd look like Crispin Glover, and Glover sued them for stealing his face and not paying him. The whole legal story is more complicated than that, but I think that was the turning point where entertainment companies started to be more cautious about using likenesses without permission.
Replacing Tony Montana with Tony Hawk on the Scarface cover ( 1:05) is the edgiest skater kid thing ever. It's perfect. Thank you so much.
He also did it on the thumbnail for this video haha
@@juziu66
He is a Tony Hawk fan after all.
“Edgiest skater kid thing ever” wtf? Lmao 😅
And that was the cringiest. Easily
I bought this game on PC a while ago. It's so weird that it got banned in Australia for a scene that was literally in the movie.
Australia censors EVERYTHING for the sake of it.
@@Invidente7 What's funny is that three years after they banned this game for a single scene, which I don't even remember being that violent in the game, the Saw games were released here Uncensored... This is after they banned Manhunt as well, even though they let it release here at first.
Yes I do see your point, but the banning of this game is no surprise in Australia. Australia has shown a history of being very strict on video games treating them differently to movies. This is because the logic is that there is a difference to watching the film and playing the video game. In the film you are witnessing a character chopping off a guys ear off, while in the game you are actively doing it. It's really not that weird and this sort of thing would continue in Australia, especially with games like Syndicate (2012) and Soldier of Fortune: Payback (the third game in the series) that were banned for their violence. The classification board in Australia has also shown to be very rigid on the way drug use is portrayed in video games, with the most recent case being the final cut of Disco Elysium, though the game would eventually receive an R-Rating after the decision was appealed.
@@josephchandrasegaran276 It literally is wierd. The country has placed moronic mothers in charge of deciding who gets to see media. They don't use evidence because the evidence indicates no link.
You know laws in Australia are upside down?
Please kill me
Honestly, it looks pretty good for a 2006 movie license game
I played this game so much back in the day that I was able to complete it without killing a single enemy and getting a perfect professional ranking on every mission. It’s one of my favorite gems with a lot of great memories attached to it.
1:12 that Scarface box art was so good it gave me Mandela effect moment
These games always have one really interesting gimmick I've never seen in a game before and would really like to see done better.
It's like if you put all of these games together you'd have one really unique open world crime game.
Ikr, I always said this game would be better remembered if it was it's own original thing instead of a tie in to RD. This games a guilty pleasure to me.
I was thinking it’d be really cool if someone combined the maps and mechanics of these early licensed games together into an open world.
Right !
I'm alive has some hostage mechanics but also not really evolved. The idea of a shooting ge that is not just run and gun is so tantalizing to me. Any game can be Rambo, but I want to see one that is No Country For Old Men.
Welcome to crapitali$m
It feels weird to be nostalgic of the "weekly rental game" era and yet here I am
The skateboard on the Scarface cover art was so well edited I actually had to look up the real box art because I was like "There's no way"
The hostage mechanic reminds me of that one game "I Am Alive". Except that was bluffing that you had a bullet in the gun. Also, would recommend the Star Wars Episode III game. Got into a pretty lengthy talk the other day about how, in a way, that was one of the better games where you played a force user before Force Unleashed came out.
Fun fact about I Am Alive: the game that came out was only a third of the intended game, they had to cut the story off at the end of the first act for budget.
@@expendableindigo9639 Yeah, I remember the original take was supposed to be more grounded in the real world taking place in Chicago. Even with the current game there are a lot of hints as to what could have been. I mean, there's a part where you can unknowingly eat human meat, and outside of an achievement the game does not really change. I kinda wish it got the polish it needed, cause I could have seen it be a unique take in the post apocalyptic genre.
@@expendableindigo9639 it makes a lot of sense with that ending. It's a very abrupt ending
Revenge of the sith was a terrible game but something about it was quite fun for a short while. I think the ridiculous lightsaber combos were a big part of it. Force withins lightsaber combat felt super anemic after revenge of the sith.
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 bro “Force Within?” It’s called Force Unleashed. And personally I always preferred Force Unleashed 1 to ROTS, though ROTS had some fun cinematic setpieces like the opening hangar level or the swarms of Magnaguards on Utapau.
I shall name this subgenre "Early 2000's Mafia-Core" i like the sound of that, I'm currently going through the godfather part 2 and I'm having a blast
It’s more mid 2000’s, no? They all came out 2004-2007
it even has a similar linear missions in a faux open world style like Mafia
My favorite thing about this game was how they portrayed Mr. Blue’s death. Getting shot to death in front of a theatre screen.
The Australian secret police are gonna get you for this one...
I guess we'll have to wait til 2030 for the Hateful Eight tie in game.
...Shaun White Skateboarding
I would actually enjoy a character based story game with people stuck in the cabin. Sort of like danganronpa vibes
@@spyczech Or if Tarantino directed a TellTale Games game
@@FatalMasamune Yooo if he embraced the medium (idk if he's snobby abt games) imagine the kind of branching story paths his brain could create
@@FatalMasamune also if I still this idea and copy it, what's a better knockoff title Spiteful Seven or Neferious Nine
@@spyczech the tenacious ten
The dead eye from read dead redemption was done in red dead Revolver and that came out before this
Lawrence Tierney and Chris Penn died well before the game’s release, so unfortunately they wouldn’t have been able to get all the actors even if they could afford to. The game is mediocre and can be finished in a single day, but I’ve seen worse than this.
Is Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days on the table for a future video?
probably not. watch the outro
For Eddie and Joe they could've just asked for permission from their families, I suppose.
It's amazing how you've come from being really shy to almost 200k subs. Congratulations, your hard work has made some fantastic content and you really deserve your success!
I found it odd how so many classics found there way into lower budget games towards the end of the PS2's life... Reservoir Dogs, Miami Vice, The Godfather (arguably better than most,) Scarface, Knight Rider.
It's like all these classic IPs for movies and tv shows were just shat out with low budget games that were destined for mediocrity.
Knight rider was europe exclusive and Reservoir dogs, The Godfather and Scarface weren't mediocre at all.
Scarface was legitimately good and I don't think it was low budget, either.
Scarface and the godfather was actually good but scarface was amazing
"PS2" "Scarface" "Mediocre"
Those words
Is it possible to use them in a sentence together like that?
Great review! It made me want to buy it for my collection. Just wanted to say the dead eye mechanic is in the original red dead revolver from 2004. I feel like Red Dead Revolver is very overlooked since redemption 1 and 2, but is amazing in its own right, even if more linear.
Max Payne introduced the mechanic back in 2001 as "bullet time"... just sayin
@@LoveBbyJay Deadeye works differently from your standard Bullet Time as it's more about selecting where you want to shoot then executing it rather than just slowing down time. Though in Redemption 1 it starts off as basically just standard Bullet Time before you upgrade it to be like how it was back in Revolver and then upgrade it again to have more control over where you target (rather than the game just automatically targeting when your cross hair touches an enemy.)
@@greenhunter473 it didn't look like the reservoir dogs game was doing much more than just standard bullet time, but I definitely could be wrong...
@@LoveBbyJay doesn't matter it was created by rockstar so it's not like that statement mattered same company that made both games
I like the idea of the game being a sort of companion piece to the movie showing you why these shootouts were not shown in the film
Ha, I actually remember renting this for a weekend back when it came out. It was exactly that, a decent weekend rental. Spot on.
check out "Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" for the ps2, combines stealth with parkour and fighting, you play as a graffiti artist
Top game! Loved it
The 'same age, same super contribution' bit made me chuckle and reminded me that other Australians do, in fact, exist and use the internet.
Finally, someone else who makes the "Same age, same income, same super contributions" joke
Talk about an obscure joke though lol. An old ad for an Aussie only superannuation fund
Great vid! I'd love to see you do a video on the PSP GTA titles. Include the Gameboy and DS titles as well if you want. With the GTA Trilogy remastered rumored to come to Switch, it's a perfect time to dive deep into the older portable GTA games!
This game was actually my exposure to this movie, much like Rockstars The Warriors was to the 1979 classic. That said, The Warriors was infinitely better than this. Most of the cast returned, they added a whole plot leading up to the meeting aswell as an entire backstory for the characters, and you also get to play through the movie in the last quarter of the game! Most Levels were open ended so it encouraged exploration to find dealers and complete side objectives. You got the Warriors own hangout and a portion of Coney to explore and do side objectives in to earn new abilities in combat. The 2 player mode works like a dream and I can't tell you how many sleepless nights me and my brother had playing the Rumble mode on it. You even get a 2.5D beat em up game after beating the story that feels like a huge tribute to games like Double Dragon and Final fight. Id love to see you talk about this one soon!
Been waiting for this big up 👊👊👊👊💯
Oh wow, I just watched the movie for the first time earlier this week! Seeing this video coming out right now is awesome as I still have the movie fresh in my mind
also, great vid as always!
I know I'm a bit lit to the game but I remember when this game released and it was such a hassle for me to actually get. I had to drive to 3 city's around me and no one was carrying a single copy. I stopped at an independent shop on my way home and couldn't spend my 20 dollars quicker. Then I played the game. The looking was better than the playing.
You know looking at this, for being a late gen PS2 game it looks pretty good. Like the animations and the environments look good. The car model looks decent too.
That idea of aiming at people threatening them but also directing them is really interesting. At least they had some new ideas
So someone wanted to take Reservoir Dogs, a movie that takes place in very few locations and is dialogue focused, and turned it into am open world action game? I don't know how you could miss the point harder.
Given a few more years, it could have easily transitioned into a Telltale game.
This is an older video but it brought back wonderful memories. When I was a kid I could hardly afford video games, but the "Family Video" near my house had a promotion. If you received the properly colored weekly gumball from their candy machine you could rent a video game with your movies for free. I remember playing this game incessantly because of my love for the movie and I'll always cherish those poor kid memories.
Tony Hawk's face in the Scarface cover at 1:11 was the weirdest thing in this channel I've ever witnessed.
Michael Madsen agreed to voice his character in the game because the advance check cleared. I think he's a great actor, but he doesn't seem to turn anything down as long as long as the project doesn't mess with his plans for the weekend.
The Warriors is by far the best one. To really capture the before and after, really brought you back into why the movie was so well received. Never forget, possibly one the most things related to movie, really set the path for creativity, brother/sister hood, love , pain , art and the heart of NYC.
Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, The Getaway, MadeMan, 25 to life, and Dead to Rights were something I always played on my free time :)
Reservoir Dogs is my all-time favorite movie and I also really like the game as well. If you're a fan of the film, this game won't disappoint you.
And it fills the gaps in parts if the movie.
@@DCGMatthew1 That's literally what the game is mostly about.
MINORTY REPORT HOMIE.
If you dont review it, you'd still have fun playing it I guarantee.
The rag doll is amazing.
@@GamerGuysReviews oh hell yeah dude
Its only fun with cheats.
That sounds promising
@@oh-not-the-bees7872 nah the brawling is super fun
In my opinion, this game is awesome.
The characters don't seem like movies' actor 'cause of copyright trouble
That's not Red Dead Redemption's Dead Eye mechanic being done four years earlier, that's Red Dead Revolver's Dead Eye mechanic being done two years later.
I don't know why but I really love 3rd person shooter games from 2000's (even if it's so bad like this one). there's some weird charming of it that I really can't find in modern games, the graphics, the weapons, the level design, the cgi cutscenes, etc. that was just a stupid comment honestly lmao but I truly love theese games I think I'll name a few
-Max Payne 1,2 (truly legendary games)
-Total Overdose, Chili Con Carnage (really awesome game)
-The Punisher (really a blast from the past)
-The Suffering, Ties That Bind (action with great horror)
-Stranglehold (this one a have a destructive crazy gunfight lol)
-El Matador (kinda janky but still ok)
-Scarface The World is Yours (my word couldn't do justice for this one)
-Dead to Rights (awesome game)
-Freedom Fighters (great game)
-Made Man (kinda bad but like it)
I just wasted my time writing this comment and I don't know why lmao (always loves your vids man keep up the good work :)
Hey, nice review you've made there.
I just want to say that ShadyFox made a really nice cover of "Stuck in the middle with you", it is actually better than the original.
Ohhh my guilty pleasure, i liked how you had different endings depeding if you were psycho or professional, the ending shows what suppossedly happens to mr pink after he leaves
Been waiting for this one without even knowing it
Thanks man
Imagine, a video game where it's the in-game graphics that look better than the cg cutscenes
I actually played this one allot! I'm really glad you finally looked into this one!
0:52 sponsor ends. Yeah, the Reservoir Dogs game is interesting. Not horrible, but being repetitive like it is, there isn’t much replay value with it. I like the element of expanding upon the film and seeing the different perspectives of the characters, particularly Mr. Blue since we never saw what happened to him and only know he was killed in dialogue. I think it would be cool if another video game adaptation of the film would happen and get those back into a recording booth and record their lines while also expanding upon it similar like this game, but have it where you go and do other objectives that’s more unique and has more replay value. But that’s just something I’d like to see.
That recreation of the intro walk is really charming
Only a true legend would risk jail time to give us a video on a below average video game from 2006
I only learnt this game exists the other week. Crazy timing with the posting of this vid
That driving part reminded me of that Starsky & Hutch videogame for some reason
the stencil shadows & floor reflections are really well done. I wonder if it looks this good on Xbox & Ps2.
Just found this game at one of my local game stores for the PS2 and I can't wait to try it out! I watched this video when you originally posted it and I rewatched it as a refresher for what I'm about to get myself into! Thanks for the great content always!
8:57 With darkness and silence through the night... oh wait wrong game.
Joe Cabot looks like an overgrown toddler in the game.
1:07
I know for sure he's eventually gonna do the one in the middle...
*WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY!!!*
Fair review, really fair review, never seen a fairer review, I worked on it so, I propeely enjoyed that 👍
"Same age, same super annuation" is such a specific and Australian reference.
This is game actually got me into the movie and it’s my favorite movie of all time so I always have a special place in my heart.
Interesting video mate, never played this! Definitely hanging out for your warriors video, that game was great. The best movie tie ins will always flesh out the universe and characters further!
Man I bought this at Giant Tiger on PC back in the day and could not stop playing
If I recall correctly racking up Professional or Psychopath ratings determines how the game ends. In the movie Mr. Pink runs out of the warehouse and we hear shots. In the game he either is killed (psychopath) or escapes (professional).
Great vid as always!
I remember being blown away by this game showing what wasn't in my fav movie. (I was 9 and had no business watching. let alone liking a Tarantino Film)
Atleast mr blue got a scene to him.
I got this game and loved it back in the day because I was a fan of the movie and it was the first video game adaptation of a Tarantino movie, but the gameplay really could and did get repetitive. It had a lot of potential and I wouldn't mind seeing it be remade with the likeness of the actors and their voices. The soundtrack was great of course.
Ngl that Steve Buscemi impression actually sounds pretty good 🤔
The chief censor in New Zealand in 2006 had this big deal about 'justifiable violence" in media, and the hostage thing just didn't follow this idea which is why this was banned here (as well as Rockstar's Manhunt shortly later). Australia was just due to the lack of 18 rating as I recall. Doesn't look like we all missed out on that much at the time, but I've always had a curious interest in it.
I remember being super pumped for this game and knowing it was going to suck at the same time. And I had to drive to 3 different towns to buy it. Not worth it.
Like solely for the "Same age, same super contribution"
You cheeky devil
My absolute favorite game if this type is The Warriors video game. In complete honesty, it is my favorite video game of all time. Hope see your video on it! You got my sub for putting a spotlight on games I played a lot of and loved growing up!
I rented this as one of my free rentals when i worked at blockbuster. I remember it being a bit of a pain but ended up loving it, not a classic or anything just a ok few hours of gaming.
Holy crap that Tony Hawk insert is your best one yet. Legendary.
It’s seamless, I didn’t even notice it at first lol
I forgot all about the PlayStation 2 version of Reservoir Dogs I stick with the '92 movie as an old soul person I still get the chills.
Huh....Im the only one dont remember Tony Hawk playing the Lead part in Scarface? 😄
Was that Tony Hawk's face on the cover of Scarface on 01:12? 😂
Loved putting people in the lockable rooms, just trying to see how many people I could steal when I was younger.
I still can't imagine playing this over Payday 2's Reservoir Dogs heist. I mean, it's even got a rendition of "Stuck In The Middle With You"
I see minimee I click at once, I dont wait a second!
Scooby Doo Unmasked (2005) is an extremely underappreciated game
Oh my god "same age, same super contribution" I thought I was the only one who ever references that!! 😂
I remember staying on the menu screen just so I could hear the Little Green Bag song
Yes! I was waiting for you to do this one, now do The Punisher game.
"Red Dead Redemption's Dead Eye mechanic, done 4 years earlier"!? Is he forgetting about Red Dead Revolver!?
They're lucky they didn't get sued for the Buscemi impersonation. Tom Waits successfully sued a couple of different companies for using an impersonator in their advertisements, because he felt like it damaged his reputation by suggesting he would do the ad.
It makes me so happy to see these videos you make. I like how you look the overlooked. When people think of the past they think of the most popular things. But your videos sheds light on how things where.
Nice replacement of Tony on the Scarface cover, makes me want to mod a skateboard into the game now.
It sounds like Noah Caldwell-Gervais voiced Mr. Pink and I absolutely love it.
The Dead Eye mechanic was in Red Dead Revolver (2004) first.
These 3d models would be spot on if,
steve bucemi was played by christian slater, Lawrence Tierney was played by a bulbasaur, eddie bunker was played by archie bunker, quentin tarantino was played by nicholas cage. tim roth was played by mculley culkin.
I rented this around when it came out (man I miss renting games). I thoroughly enjoyed it and I was able to beat it before I had to take it back
I remember playing this game when I was around 11-13 years old right around the time I watched the movie. Such a weird juxtaposition to the movie.
Those birds are something else. Good lord.
5:22 😂😂 damn that car exploded for no reason lol
Dead Eye was a thing in the original Red Dead Revolver in like 2004
