Kingpin: Life of Crime - Rags 2 Riches v1 Apr 30 2011 Full Version 9 comments. This is the first release of my mod for Kingpin: Life of Crime. My Rags 2 Riches modification aims to bring more realism to this classic FPS, plus better. Just remember gmanLives had nothing but bad things to say about kingpin life of crime. He is clueless about many games released in 95-2005 Had an argument with him that how he was wrong about another FPS SiN and how its themes were lost on him (sexually suggestive ones), which he was bashing.
I haven't stopped playing since the moment I installed it. It's kind of scary. I haven't shaved, I'm getting zits in all sorts of weird places - I'm a real mess. Better still, at least I don't look like one of those Kingpin goons after a point-blank debate with a Tommy gun. And that's where I'll start, Kingpin's look and overall presentation will literally blow your head off. At first glance, the first half-an-hour, or so, I was a little concerned.
After playing games such as Half-Life, Unreal, Quake II, games with tons of color and diversity in textures, Kingpin's dark and dirty look was a little bland in comparison and took a little getting use to. However, as you advance through the game, you'll notice all the quiet extras such as subtle lighting effects, highly detailed buildings, beautifully rendered NPCs (especially the ladies), even the rats. It didn't take long for me to overcome my fear of the dark and become completely immersed into Kingpin's dim and cynical world. Finding a shotgun also helped.starts off with a wonderful intro starring one of the toughest black guys I have ever seen (the big boss), I swear it's Ving Rhames, and one of his top henchmen. The two of them are having a conversation about the status of their numbers running scheme, which then eludes to some talk and concern about Nicky's whereabouts, one of big boss' other top minions, which then later eludes to you. A scene showing you after a good ass whoopin'.

Not to blow the surprise, but that was what Nicky was up to, beating your ass. And that's how your long and violent adventure begins.Well, before I get into the game's level design, I.
We’ve seen realistic, depraved violence like this before: Grand Theft Auto, Carmageddon, and Redneck Rampage have all appeared on parental watchdog lists. But those are the videogame equivalents of B movies. Kingpin is far more ambitious, with realistic visuals that rival anything currently on PCs and a high-profile soundtrack by rap group Cypress Hill.
Perhaps most noteworthy is the game’s liberal use of profanity. Goons call you ”pieces of crap” and threaten to ”kick your ass”; the F- and S-words also make extended appearances. With enough blue talk to make Samuel L. Jackson’s Pulp Fiction character blush, Kingpin makes you step back and say, ”Whoa! Kids shouldn’t be playing this.”. And herein lies the problem: It wasn’t made for kids, even if many people’s first inclination is to assume that anything made for this particular medium is. Unfortunately, videogames are stuck with the kiddie label, and everyone — parents, players, and store clerks alike — tends to drop their guard when letting the rough stuff find its way to the under-17 crowd.

Even if Interplay has tattooed warning messages on its box and installation screens, the company still stands to take heat for releasing Kingpin into a post-Columbine universe. In fact, the game has already drawn criticism for ads in gamer magazines like Next Generation that proclaim ”You’re Gonna Die” in large, comic-book-style red letters. On June 1, prompted in part by such mixed-media messages, President Clinton announced a federal probe into the marketing of violent entertainment to kids. Now whether game companies knowingly target children, a la Joe Camel, is open to debate. But like it or not, there’s a market out there for Kingpin‘s mindless chaos — an adult market. Whose fault is it if someone confuses the game with Pokemon? For kids: F For adults: B.
