Alright guys so today I got my disc to test out 25 to Life online before it hits the streets. I played for an hour or so and I think a lot of you guys will be into it. I can’t comment much on specifics or show pics like I would like to, it breaks my agreement and they’ll cancel me from stuff like this in the future. But I can say that the rap music is nice, I like listening to Geto Boys while I’m shooting someone. It feels real similar to SOCOM but not quite the same. The characters and everything looks alright, the weapons are pretty cool. They’ve definitely got some things to work on and all of us testing it out are sending in reports so that they can polish it more for the final release to the streets in a month or so.
The maps we get to test are pretty nice, some are pretty big and of course pimped out like you would expect for a game like this. The music is a pretty big deal to them in this game evidently since there are radios around the map where you can change songs while you’re playing. You see guys fighting over songs and getting sh0t in the back while changing the song. I think it’s going to be a solid and slightly popular game but won’t ever be as good as the coming SOCOM 3. That’s what my money will be on, but we’ll see how well Eidos (the company that makes 25 to Life) listens to our feedback and polishes the game for release.
