This is one of those games I would fall in love with it if I played it when I was a kid. It's so badass and stylish. You step into the gangsta world and rise up through the ranks by beating the shit out of people. The whole cast consists of real life rappers like Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and Ludacris. Tbh, not only rappers, badass dudes like Danny Trejo and Henry Rollins are in the game lol.

The game has a satisfying combat with its awesome animations and solid depth. There are 5 different fighting styles for you to pick and you can combine any 3 of them max and each combination has their own unique moveset.

There is also a good learning curve, you can't just mash buttons to go through the levels. You gotta use the enviroment, learn how to counter and break grabs. Especially in the late game, you'll need to figure out the timings of your opponents because your mindless agression will be punished by their counters. You gotta know how to be defensive too.

Hardest part is the early game because you start with only one fighting style and your stats are very low compared to your opponents. So, expect to lose majority of the early fights 2 to 3 times but you'll pick it up eventually.

Anyway, this is a manly as fuck game with its brutal combat, gangsta as hell characters and stylish visuals. Also, the soundtrack is absolutely fire. I found myself hyping myself up before the fights while listening to the awesome tracks of the game lol. Totally worth playing.
