 Blu-ray Review: Reservoir Dogs | High-Def Digest
There's an oft-told tale about an early festival screening of 'Reservoir Dogs.' Uber-horror director Wes Craven was in attendance, and during the now-infamous "ear cutting" scene, Craven was siad to be so disgusted by the apparent reveling in sadism that he walked out.
But 'Reservoir Dogs' has none of the thematic relevance of 'Pulp Fiction,' the stylistic bravura of 'Kill Bill,' or the humanity of the underrated 'Jackie Brown.' It's not moviemaking, it's masturbation.
'Reservoir Dogs' may not immediately seem like a film that would have great surround sound, but there is actually quite a bit going on in the rears throughout the film.

Reservoir Dogs hops with wild abandon between the two styles of play throughout its relatively short duration, with the car chases being used as a break from the main, on foot action.

 globeandmail.com: Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs is a film that absolutely fits the definition of "un-gameable", with a dialogue-heavy plot in which almost all "action" takes place off-screen.
The Reservoir Dogs game has a clever hook; rather than have the player take part in any moments of the film, they would play the characters in scenes that are only discussed in the movie, such as taking part in the diamond heist and escaping.
The strangest thing about Reservoir Dogs is that despite being flawed in almost all respects (with at-best average game design and utterly awful artistic direction) it's oddly hypnotic to play, and I found myself compulsively playing it to the end.

 PS2 Game Reviews: Reservoir Dogs
Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs is a cult classic of epic proportions...if that's not a contradiction in terms.
There's a bit more refined character definition in Reservoir Dogs, and a subtle cinematic upgrade in comparison to either GTA or Scarface, but it's all really quite similar.
It's mostly straightforward, but you do experience each character's storyline with a little more detail (it answers some cliffhanger questions posed in the movie), and the developers took some creative licenses to include a lot more action than was actually evident in the movie.

 Reservoir Dogs (PC) Reviews. PC Games Reviews by CNET.
To be fair, Reservoir Dogs does make a vague attempt to play to the mentality of a smart criminal by letting you take hostages, rather than simply blasting your way through every cop that gets in your way.
You can get by for the most part with a keyboard and mouse, but when you have to direct disarmed cops toward walls and objects to surrender, you have to slide the mouse around to direct their movements, which is a poor substitute for the right analog stick control on the console versions.
Were Reservoir Dogs content to be merely another generic action game, sans license, its mediocrity would be pretty unassuming and far less offensive than what it does by taking the Reservoir Dogs name.
