I woke up this morning and found myself a gun and decided to continue the Sopranos story on my Sony PS2. Following the finale of one of the greatest shows ever to grace our screens, I decided to finally play The Sopranos: Road to Respect. I had read many bad reviews of this game, but wanted to form my own opinion.
The minute the game starts you are engulfed in the world of the Sopranos. In the game, you get to play as Joey LaRocca, the illegitimate son of Big Pussy, who is going through some hard times until Tony decides to give him a job. Joey is part of Paulie’s crew and starts at the bottom, doing clean ups and fetching food for the crew. The whole game is spent doing jobs to impress Tony for the hopes that some day that you will become a made man.
What makes this game fun is that they got the actors to voice the parts and their video game likenesses are incredible for a Sony PS 2 game. I am however disappointed at how short the game is. I believe I finished it in less than 4 hours. Though it was short, it was enjoyable to a huge Sopranos fan, like me. I actually started to play it again the next day because I thought I had missed some things the first time around and I was glad I did. In the casino mission, you will notice that you can actually play the slots, which is an added bonus to the game. Another bonus I did not notice the first play through was that you could play Texas Hold’em against Tony, Sil, Paulie, and Chris-ta-fer (I miss Ade).
Again, I recommend this game to any gaming fan of the Sopranos, though it is extremely short and fairly easy gameplay, I plan to enjoy it over and over again to fill the void left without the show. So it you are a fan, why don’t you start down your own Road to Respect, you won’t be :BLACK SCREEN:
Remember to always, try before you buy.
