Parents need to know that this game presents graffiti as street art, not street crime. The heroes are the graffiti crews who paint on public and private property while violently resisting police authority and the intrusion of rival artists. The language is strong, and the violence is consistent with the dark, back-alley settings: Players beat enemies with fists, wood planks, spiked bats, televisions, etc. The game promotes hip-hop fashion designer Mark Ecko, and features iPods.
Positive messages:Beating up cops and security guards so you can spray paint on public property doesn't sound like model behavior. But you ultimately use graffiti in public spaces to speak out against political corruption and police brutality. Of course, vandalism=conscientious resistance is a hard sell, even if you appreciate the artistry of murals and wildstyle.
Violence:Enemies don't die, but you do beat them with your fists, wood planks, spiked bats, televisions, etc. Cut scene depicting main character's beat down at the hands of a rival gang is fairly brutal.
This game is great! I dont know about all the language though. there is no blood and whenyou kill people thayjust dissipper. I think taht this games is very good but dont let little kids see oor hear the language.
It was a good game. I would recomend it for kids 13+, only because of the language in the game. I gave it 4/5 stars for the language issue, and because the graphics stunk.
THis game is trying to picture a ghetto life style.
The game was at it's best an average game. The game has some issues with swearing and glorifying graffiti. This game did noy teach any one any thing but how to get in trouble. This game also did badly sales wise. The price went from $50 to $30, a big change for gamers.
