Customer Reviews of The Sopranos: Road to Respect

Among the worst ever
What a huge dissapointment for any Sopranos fan or any gamer here!! Very dull and boring simply awful. First thing I noticed is you can't look up and down- only side to side! This was the first hint that this game might not be so good. Even a low budget atari game lets you look up and down! The only cool part is they have a few (select few) of the real characters from the cast digitized in the game. The bad news- its just no fun to play. The fighting is totally lame and unfortunately this is a big part. Also you have almost no influence on the storyline- it cannot be altered from what I could see. Its strictly laid out and it doesn't feel like you are really interacting in the game but rather watching it. Kinda reminded me of the Sega CD games where it was mainly watching a movie with little influence of the outcome. Levels are very small with extremely limited roaming and the load times are horrendous!! There is a 15 second load time just to open a door at tony's club and enter another room! This is totally unnacceptable! I don't even recommend renting this game. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

Complete Letdown
Thank goodness like other reviewers I only rented this game. I beat it in less than four hours. The gameplay was unimaginative, the graphics sluggish, and the environments - while accurately rendered - were completely sterile. You're basically told what to do through the whole game. On your way to complete pointless missions, you just beat a lot of people up. I finished this game feeling cheated. If I had actually paid $40 for it, I would have been furious because there's absolutely no replay value here. The design of this game was completely rushed, and the makers were counting on the participation of the real actors to convince people that this thing was worth buying. If you're interested in this game, just rent it. But be warned - you can never have that four hours of your life back. DO NOT BUY!

Finally - A Game For Non-Gamers
I know that the title of this review sounds strange, but I wanted to write a review from a little different perspective than most of the other reviewers of PS2 games. In short, I wanted to represent those of us out there who enjoy games on a more casual basis. Believe it or not, there are those of us out there who don't have weeks upon weeks to make it through a long and challenging game but, instead, just want to play, roam, and follow a story in a matter of a few hours. I have tried several traditional role-playing games and I can tell you that after a few times getting defeated at the end of a level and having to redo the same action over and over again, I grow quickly bored. In fact, I dare say that I have yet to finish even one game because I get so frustrated by having to repeat the levels. Well. I'm happy to announce that you don't have to worry about that with this game. Yes, it is very easy. But that is EXACTLY what I loved about it. <

>The Sopranos: Road To Respect plays like a movie, not a game. The levels and moves are very easy to complete and, as a result, you can probably get through it in a matter of 4-5 hours without having to re-do much, if any, of the action at all. And because the voice-over work is so spectacular - all of the characters being voiced by the original Sopranos actors - you never grow tired of the story, the dialogue, or the gameplay itself. This game has an incredible amount of dialogue and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with it. <

>The game takes you through many familiar, and some not-so-familiar locations ranging from the Bada Bing, Satriale's pork store, Vesuvio's restaurant, and various other locations such as a porn studio, a hospital, a local gym, a rave party, an apartment building, and the docks. The scenary is accurately recreated, interesting, and fun. You advance through the game by getting fairly simple missions and essentially beating the heck out of most everyone in your path - which you can accomplish using objects from your environment or just with your own two fists. There is a lot of interaction with the familiar Sopranos characters and you will love the feel of being a part of the cast and of the show. Beating people up is, for the most part, pretty easy. But that's also part of the fun. You wouldn't feel too tough if you kept losing, now would you? <

>The graphics could, in my opinion, have been a litle bit better. There is a lot of realistic violence and even some gratuitous nudity, but the graphics are a little subpar in my opinion to what I think most of the gaming community will be used to these days. But the characters are certainly passable and definitely a lot of fun to interact with. <

>In summary, I'm sure that, although this game may not appeal to true gamers who really like to spend endless hours with a game, it will definitively appeal to fans of the show, most of whom are probably not a part of the die-hard gaming community. Please understand that I mean no disrespect at all to the gaming community or to those people who expect a game to be more difficult and last many more hours. I can, in fact, see how that crowd would feel very let-down by this game. But I also do not want their negative reviews to turn-off the more casual gamers, like myself, or to the fans of the show who do not want to necessarily be challenged by the game, but, rather, who just want to play through an interactive, well-acted episode of the show. For those fans, I guarantee that you will love this game. I know I did.
