Crime Games Of The Early 2000's

Bro, i miss getting my GAME INFORMER in the mail. Those were the fucking days man

your videos take me back to when I used to come home from school and immediately boot up my ps2 to play some metal gear solid 2, wondering if snake would ever come back as a playable character after the Tanker incident.

I rented NARC from blockbuster when i was like 14. I used to play that, STATE OF EMERGENCY and DEF JAM VENDETTA all the time

The Getaway was fantastic, it was a little hard to play as a kid. But I still feel like it has that style with the grit and realism of a dark bbc drama, that hasn’t really been recreated since.

Niko Bellic is the most down to earth GTA character that feels remorseful for the people he’s killed and is trying to survive the horrible life he’s in where nobody is hiring but criminals. When he comes to America he finally got a break when Roman helps Nico by giving him a Taxi Job but not everything is what it seems because Roman is a Gambler who owes Money to Criminal getting Nico further into the Criminal Lifestyle to help Roman out of his Gambling problems. When Nico thought it was all over someone gets killed and Niko finishes unfinished business finally Nico can go legit.

NARC 2005 is a masterpiece of a game.

When I was a pre teen I had 25 to life on ps2 with the big block on back of the system to go online and use a created character online made a clan we reached top 3 in world “TOU” then got hacked by a clan member who guessed my password & he deleted my account 😂😂 good times but the game was filled with people cheating & using game sharks… man the memories

Watch Dogs was pretty hype. The first one was revolutionary with the whole hacking tech stuff. You played as Aiden and he wore that black mask.

I wanted that Snoop Dogg game to come out so bad once they dropped that trailer. Great video and 2004 was indeed a phenomenal year for gaming

I still have a memory from back in around 2007 or 2008 where i was with my friends at night hanging out and one of them was playing Scarface. I think he was at the end of the game. For sone reason i never forgot that night

Sometimes I wonder why folks don’t embrace crime dramas like they did in the past?

I was so hyped for 25 to life, I watched all the trailers and everything leading up to its release. I don't know if you covered in the video, but it's the first thing that came to mind for me.

I owned all the GTA’s and I rented all these games. That in itself sums them up. Me and every other kid just wanted more GTA, these games didn’t meet the standards. Although Getaway was a fun game

I remember Snoop being an unlockable character in True Crime: Streets of LA, that was my go to GTA clone, an extremely detailed LA with a decent story and an emphasis on leveling up and hand to hand combat.

Fear and Respect was supposed to come out in 2006. The same year Saints Row came out, which also had a gangsta setting and turf war mechanics. I doubt F&R would be able to surpass SR.

Dude I'm turning 29 in a few days and you took me back when 20 years ago . I remember getting my game informer magazines.. the old PS2 games I had a lot as kid. I enjoyed playing the crime games cause it was badass being a gangster killa . I remember 25 to life I enjoyed it as a kid.. another one was 187 ride or die that was fun to... Oh how time flies 🥺😭

bro we all love the OG Xbox, but Dreamcast came w an ethernet port in '99!

Man you really put a well developed video together here. The Getaway and especially Black Monday are favorites of mine to this day. Thanks for that taste of nostalgia

Dude I genuinely really enjoyed this video! Thanks for the upload buddy!

Splendid vid, as always 🤌🏼 also, the kitty cameo was too cute lol
