I got this game without even knowing what it was. I was on a year without games, so I never read anything about it. I picked it up thinking it would be some sort of cop chasing game, and boy, was I glad I was wrong. The amount of attention spent on gameplay design is extraordinary. There is plenty of stuff to do and many ways to do it. Going on Rampages through crowded residential roads has never been quite this fun. The controls are simple enough for anyone to get into. I'd bet if this game had the Army Men liscense on it, it would still sell like mad. The flaws in the game are minimal; probably the only thing you'll notice about it is the lack of good jackable planes. Try as you might, but there is no way you are going to keep the Dodo up in the air for very long. But that won't detract from the game, since the amazing detail to ordinary life is simply amazing. You'll see buisness men during the day, but when the sun goes down, the pimps and hookers come out. It's one of the most amazing games I've played. If it's not already in your PS2 game library, it should be right now.
