You'll get the most out of what 25 To Life has to offer if you play online, but is that enough? by Vaughn Smith

January 20, 2006 - As we discovered in 2005, the suits have a 'thing' for the urban street life. They know that kids are eating up rap and hip hop music and the lifestyle that goes right along with it, so naturally they want to capitalize on it while it's hot. The suits are also quite fond of the idea of creating the next popular knock off of the Grand Theft Auto franchise because frankly, their trophy wives have been asking for a new pair of diamond studded Porsches and these hootchy mamas are hard to please at the best of times. At the end of 2005 we suffered through 50 Cent: Bulletproof, True Crime: New York City, 187: Ride Or Die, Urban Reign et al and now we get to kick off 2006 with 25 To Life. I'll give the suits at Eidos credit; they had a little more vision and ambition when plotting out the execution of their game when compared to the aforementioned list of disasters. They wanted to give the GTA fans a world in which they could kill each other online and for the most part they've succeeded. The online portion of 25 To Life isn't bad; it's not deep by any stretch nor does it look particularly wonderful, but you and your pals can run around the city and shoot each other online and I bet some of you will really like it. The single player game is as forgettable as they come and I'd suggest ignoring it all together, but if you want to unlock all of the multiplayer goodies, you'll have to beat the game.

25 to life
