Guns, Murder, Police Violence
We saw the riots in LA, and the brutality against Blacks in Phillidelphia but thankfully we are white, middle class and don't have to worry about these problems.
Then our white friends at Eidos pulled a sneak attack and hit us with this game
25 to life is all that it should be, kill cops or kill thugs, it is senseless and you get points for the carnage you create.
It makes sense, seeing as the majority of police/civilian violence is senseless and all you really can expect to come from it in real life is points, in the form of bragging rights. The name of the game is survival and I suppose that this game wouldn't be so bad if you could just kill the thugs.
I mean c'mon, whats a game when your a black male, showing the fact that you no longer want to submissively be raped by white dominated and racially/socially divided judicial system. No self respecting person should have to see that.
But hey, if your a person, with the capability for rational thought, and can see the games context for a realist cops/robbers game. Buy it, but if your a racist white jackass that wants it banned b/c a few cops got killed then don't. But who's to say that the cop that you could have killed wasn't the one that didn't respond to your moms cries for help while she was attacked b/c they were too busy busting a teenager for pot.
This game is an encapsulation of all city stereotypes, that we have tried so well to hide our children from, so that way when they are confronted with it in the future they will be ignorant to it and possibly over react, but that just the way they should act...or over act
 GTA Clone has its ups but several key downs September 14, 2006

25 to Life is a controversial game, but so is GTA, Hitman, and dozens of other violent games. Keep this one away from your kids and try not to dictate to the world how everybody should ban the game. This is America so deal with it, folks.
On a gameplay level, the game is fun but on my Dell 8250 with 1 GB RAM and 256 MB nVidia 6800 GT, there are some slowdowns in framerates. As I found out from another site, Eidos just didn't design the game to flow smoothly when multiple enemies are on the screen. The controls are fairly easy to manipulate, but sometimes you get shot even when you can't see an enemy when peering around a corner. The game has a decent length with 10 stages, but could be longer. There aren't any vehicles to drive, just a straight-up run 'n gun with some hiding behind cover.
The game is worth a try, but only under $15 in my mind. EBay it up.
 PARENTS!!!!! April 22, 2006

Game is OK, but I'm really here to say, if parents were paying attention to their children, and NOT BUYING ADULT GAMES FOR THEM!!this wouldnt be an issue. Stop being parents to the whole nation and keep an eye on your own kids, thats why we have a rating system for movies and GAMES. Can't stop your kids from playing a game, thats your problem, not the game makers, sounds like you should re-think your parenting position to me. Can't stop the games.. HA! HA! HA!
 Stop Selling This at Amazon March 21, 2006

I love Amazon...but I am greatly disturbed that Amazon would be willing to profit from the sale of Cop-killing video games. Quite honestly, I expect more from a quality corporate citizen such as Amazon. Supporting "25 to Life" is disturbing. I am a huge supporter of freedom of choice in this nation. Perhaps Amazon is using this "rationale" to somehow justify selling this cop-killing game. But any responsible retailer or reseller should put common decency ahead of profits. Until Amazon puts that decency ahead of cop-killer video games I will not purchase any goods from Amazon.com.
