You can lock on to enemies by holding the L1 button and fire with the R1 button. There's only one gun in the game, though, and it's not very accurate. It usually takes half a dozen shots to finish off an enemy, so it's quicker to just pick up the nearest blunt object and brain him real quick.
If you're on the other end of the barrel you won't find the gunplay any more exciting or intense. You can stand there as an enemy unloads on you from point-blank range and you'll barely even notice it. Stranger yet, the enemies won't fire until you're right up next to them, and even then they take several seconds to fire between shots, despite using semiautomatic pistols.
Other than constantly fighting, there is very little to do in this game. You can collect loot such as cell phones, drugs, and wallets, but there's no reason to do so because the money in the game is pointless. There are only a few things to spend money on, such as lap dances and offerings to the bosses, and none of those things have any impact on the game.
There is a clunky and cumbersome game of Texas Hold 'Em included here, but the interface is so terrible that you'll have a hard time playing for more than a few hands. The presentation in Road to Respect is sloppy. The character models are blocky and ugly, and the animation is horribly stiff and awkward. There are also severe clipping problems, so you'll constantly see characters pass completely through solid objects.
There are only about half a dozen stages in the game, and none of them look very good. There's the small, empty Bada Bing! There's a gym, a warehouse, a hospital, and a few other generic locations that are basically just one long hallway for you to run from one end of to the other. The sound is actually fairly well done. All of the cast members from the television show provide the voices of their respective characters in the game, and most of them sound good.
The generic characters sound terrible, though, and the dialogue is full of awful lines that are mostly poorly hacked-together strings of various forms of the F-word.
Other than the familiar theme song that plays over the title screen, the music is forgettable--you'll hear the same handful of songs repeated in different stages throughout the game.
It will take you less than eight hours to play through The Sopranos: Road to Respect, and in that time you might die once or twice.
The game is very linear, repetitive, and easy, which means it isn't at all fun to play. To make matters worse, the game is ugly, clunky, and full of bugs and glitches.
The Sopranos: Road to Respect Review. By Jeff Haynes Updated: 15 May pm. In , HBO started airing a modern crime drama set in New Jersey that blended the humdrum world of suburban life in New Jersey with the secretive and no so secretive world of the mafia. Since then, The Sopranos have become one of television's most critically acclaimed series. Thanks to David Chase, the series creator, fans have come to know the complex inner workings of the Soprano crime family, as well as the chaos that surrounds each character's life.
However, instead of feeling honored that you've been recruited into La Familia, you'll probably wish that you'd been whacked instead. It can be extremely tricky to figure out where to set a game that's based on a long running television series, because the designers have to figure out what elements to keep and which ones to ignore or toss completely.
The other trick is figuring out how to make a game that won't spoil any secrets of the series. Well, David Chase managed to strike a balancing act between these two by placing the action between Seasons 5 and 6 of the television show, breaking it out like an "unaired" episode of the show.
Joey's down on his luck, and starts out as a simple purse snatcher on the streets of Jersey. However, one day he's stopped in front of Satriale's by Tony Soprano, who recognizes the trouble that Joey's getting in and the pathetic state of affairs that he's in.
Instead of pummeling Joey, Tony gives him a job working for Paulie Walnuts as a new enforcer for the family, which would allow him to potentially become a made man if he pays his dues and follows instructions. During the game, Joey will do much more than simply beating up people and enforcing the will of the Soprano Family. He'll wind up falling in love, get in the middle of a potential mob war and even save Tony's son from being killed by angry business partners.
Now, if you're a fan of the show in any way, you'll recognize what kind of a problem having the bastard son or any son, for that matter of Big Pussy in the Sopranos crew raises. Christopher constantly raises this objection, and yet it's generally swept under the rug as Tony simply decides to give Joey a break. That doesn't really seem to be keeping with the character of Tony or events that have occurred during the run of the show, and yet it's not explained why exactly he decides to be so friendly.
Part of this might be attributable to the limited focus of the title itself: Tony, Paulie, Christopher, Silvio and Vito comprise the majority of the cast, and with the exception of AJ and a quick mention of Hesh at Nuovo Vesuvios, there really aren't any extraneous cast members around. Technically, you could call the ghost of Big Pussy included, but he's handled much more like Joey's conscience every now and then, and he doesn't really affect how the plot unfolds either. Nor will you really have the chance to explore the massive world that the Sopranos live in -- you move from the Bada Bing which acts as the game hub to very specific, very contained areas in a linear fashion.
Any outdoors settings that even offer you a hint of exploratory freedom immediately warps you back to the start of that level if you deviate from the path, so you're pretty much stuck on the path that's given to you without a lot of variation to the gameplay.
Obviously, as muscle for the Family, Joey will need to pound some sense into people that have angered Tony, Paulie, or other members of the Soprano crew. Fortunately, he's good with his fists, and he's got a number of moves that he can use to beat people down.
Players will have the option to use either light or heavy attacks which you can string together into combos. You can also use grapples to potentially trigger one of the special attacks that Joey gets, such as breaking arms, smashing an opponent's head into the ground or choking them to death. You're not limited to using your fists either, because you can grab any one of the objects scattered around the environment to get your point across.
Whether it's a baseball bat, plunger or a barbell, Joey can wield these weapons to take out anyone that stands in his way. He can also drag people to specific hotspots in environments, such as refrigerators or table saws and punish people in that way. Finally, Joey can always resort to firearms if he needs to take enemies out from a distance.
While the inclusion of the various weapons and hotspots in the game is an interesting addition, the system is flawed for a number of reasons. For one, the only time that you can touch an object that's a weapon is if you're in the middle of a fight. You can't conceal one and you can't bring one with you from one place to another. It's also a very short game. I do like how actual voices from the show are used, and the Bada Bing looks the same.
So don't really pay a whole lot for this game because u will be disappointed, but if u can get it for a bargain, then go for it. I used it as a way to kill off some time. This game should of been made longer overall. Skip to main content. About this product. Open box.
