	25 To Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		25 to Life has drawn criticism from American politicians, particularly several in the state of New York and Delaware, for a feature which allows the player to grab nearby non-player characters and use them as human shields.
		According to a post on Opposable Thumbs, an Ars Technica blog, "apparently P. Frank Williams, the writer of 25 to Life and 'hip hop journalist' had some moral issues when he was working on the game," referring to an article in The London Free Press.
		25 to Life was received poorly by critics, who lambasted it as a "GTA clone" [2], and the game sold rather poorly, despite the attention brought to it by critics such as Jack Thompson.

	Preview: 25 to Life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Eidos and Avalanche Software's upcoming 25 to Life promises to take players deep into the underworld of crime and gangs, with immersive gaming environments, richly developed characters and an interesting storyline that allows you to see the events from both angles.
		25 to Life's storyline is interesting, but the solid gameplay mixes elements of traditional shooters with the more immersive non-linear 'sandbox' style of play.
		25 to Life looks like it will offer players an interesting approach to the genre that should help it stand out from the pack in what is rapidly becoming a saturated genre.

		He and 25 to Life's other playable characters are just shallow caricatures of the flavor of the moment: borderline-offensive stereotypes of African-Americans.
		25 to Life is enjoying a wave of controversy almost certain to boost sales, but let me be frank: I was disgusted by the outright murder of police officers.
		25 to Life owes Max quite a bit of credit, as it apes his game in almost every way; everything from the ugly graphics of five years ago to the awkward control system has a parallel here, but for some reason developer Avalanche decided to ignore the "compelling narrative" and "being fun" parts.

	25 to Life (xbx: 2006): Reviews
		25 to Life is the kind of hideous trash that damages gaming's reputation, resulting in the genesis of the Jack Thompsons of the world.
		Pandering to every college student and aspiring rap artist's deep-seated "Scarface" fantasies, 25 to Life is a 3D action-shooter that not only fails to innovate on any level, but rolls back design and technological advancements to the early PSone era.
		If there’s one thing that 25 To Life gets to do right, let it bring an end to this destructive preoccupation with the cross-media lure of gritty, crime-flavoured urban violence, and the unacceptably low standards it so often brings with it.

	Bookreporter.com - 25 TO LIFE by Leslie Crocker Snyder
		The underlying question in 25 TO LIFE, Judge Snyder's story about her legal career, is why she, or anyone else, would voluntarily choose such a profession, voluntarily put themselves on the front lines in New York City's continual struggle against crime.
		If 25 TO LIFE does nothing else, it shows how rewarding, how vital, how necessary a career in public service can be.
		25 TO LIFE appropriately shows the dangers and the glories of a life on the bench in the riskiest of situations.

	25 to Life 1UP - Find Articles
		That's partly why a round of Eidos' 25 to Life can be a shock to first-time players -- this is very real (or realistic, anyway) gang warfare, the sort you'd expect to see in a Fox police-video special or two.
		A team-based third-person shooter at its heart, 25 to Life's single-player mode plays out in a series of vignettes, or short mission sets, that let you play out the roles of a good cop, a not-so-good cop, and a very bad gangster.
		This is where we began to notice that 25 to Life was more "street" than GTA or any of its imitators -- the cul-de-sac level we played in was approaching dusk, and it was filled with cars, neighbors milling outside, and gunshots.

		There's an alarming amount of gunplay in 25 To Life; the game programmers have gone to great lengths to recreate the brutality of urban combat, including the gory blasting away of petty thugs and cops alike.
		25 to Life is mostly full of set pieces that feel cobbled together from various gangster movies like Heat, Get Rich or Die Tryin' or Juice.
		To sum this all up, 25 To Life paints itself as an edgy, cool street match between cops and robbers in the 21st century.

	25 To Life Review for PlayStation 2 at Gaming Horizon
		I hate to say it, but there’s not much good to be found in 25 To Life.
		Most other multiplayer online games do everything else better and while there’s nothing spectacular about 25 To Life’s, it’s still a bright spot on what is otherwise a lackluster title.
		25 To Life is technically not a quick-cash in game riding the coattails of GTA: San Andreas because of all its delays, but the ugly graphics, boring gameplay, and an uninspired story certainly make it look like one.

		25 to Life’s debut at the huge E3 gaming trade show this past May led to accusations that Eidos was trying to make a quick buck off America’s current fixation with underground thug culture.

	25 to Life: Review
		The fate of criminal ekshena from third person 25 to Life was added extremely unfavorably from the very first days of its announcement.
		Only it is capable to muffle nightmarish "ozvuchku", which is escaped from the mouths of characters, and to force player to think about which conveniently, only not about that however, which now occurs on the screen of monitor.

		25 to Life was supposed to be just another "lame" attempt to be like Grand Theft Auto, but in my opinion, it has crisp gameplay, and interesting missions (not too difficult, and rather short) that keep the gamer in tune for quite a while.
		Once everyone is dead, and you enjoy listening to the loud boombox in the room, head down and over to your car to complete the level.
		I have tried my best to cover all the aspects of the game so that your life is a heck of a lot easier.
