A game that you haven't mentioned is the Warriors video game. That is a game that really fits the theme of the video series. Also worth mentioning Crime Life: Gang Wars, Beatdown: Fist of Vengeance, Final Fight Streetwise, Reservoir Dogs, 10,000 Bullets, the Dead to Rights series and one of my personal favourites Driver Parallel Lines
The only one that you listed that I haven't played is 10,000 bullets, all of the others I absolutely love and Diver Parallel Lines was a return to form for the series and it's a shame that it's forgotten about bc of how bad Driver 3 was
@@jessehayes8052 Parallel Lines is one, if not the best Driver game. The atmosphere and the soundtrack was awesome...10,000 Bullets is a 3rd Person shooter that tries to emulate the Matrix gunplay with the main protagonist being a hired Hitman
Kingpin Life of Crime is amazing. You perfectly described what I like the most about this game. The atmosphere and the aesthetic. Unique, gritty, and damn fun. Keep up with videos, love them.
@@TheMasterofDisaster48 Oh yeah i barely remember that it has ties to D12 but yeah some members of that group play a role in a game. It makes me think that i should play that 50 cent game on ps2 too. The game is okay (most ppl think it's bad but i have a high tolerance for jank), it is like an inferior warriors.
Dude, awesome video as always! I knew about the Kingpin, but had no idea it actually had multiplayer modes. Realities of growing up in the 90s without the internet 😅. Speaking of the beat-em-ups, have you heard of the Fists Of Vengeance? At the time of release, it recieved a mixed reviews, but in my opinion was ahead of its time. It had 5 playable gangster characters stuck in a typical 90s crime city. You could see injuries and cuts appear on your guy, you could change clothing, get a personal "nemesis" rival if they kicked your ass too much. You had heat/wanted level and could even get a plastic surgery to change your appearance and get rid of said heat. Anyway, I'm getting carried away, but it's definitely worth checking out.
One of my favorite games of all time, and I genuinely think that the Yakuza series heavily borrowed from Beat Down and even though they are inferior games they became much more famous
There's so many games that wouldn't get made today solely because this new obsession with people not wanting to offend anyone (even tho we're talking about a GAME 🕹️) ~i dearly miss how 90s-00s gaming had such a vast range of creativity. I love the amount of risk they took on odd concepts in This Y2K era- the Dreamcast/PS2/360. It should show us that GRAPHICS are not the most important thing.. If you can create satisfying movement, gameplay mechanics, physics effects, responsive parts of a environment that makes you want to explore it, engage it, etc. That stuff is so much more important. Not: {"Who can make the largest game map? Or have the most reflections?"} I think Art style, design, vibe, aesthetic is much more important. You don't need top notch graphics to greatly appreciate and enjoy playing a game. That's why we are seeing such a resurgence of players who have gone back to playing older games because they realized the aspects of gaming that they care about and are unhappy with most modern games. So hopefully gaming will enter a new era. That mixes in aspects of the older era's. With our modern capabilities that will hopefully help make it easier to create a satisfying game (without it taking 8 years to build a broken game. Hopefully) Currently everything is trying to be like a Triple AAA game or a free to play online battle Royale game.. A lot of us miss when we had game selection similar to how the Dreamcast/GameCube/360/PS2 era had a mix of. As well alot of those games came with options for local multiplayer, split screen, LAN parties, or offline modes against bots or other diverse offline CPU game modes. Yet modern games are not only lacking those dynamic options that give games nearly endless replayability features... Modern games are lacking even meeting the most basic standards for game's... They don't seemed focused on the core of the games to be Fun. They over focus on "realism" Rather than adding in Artistic adaptations for the greater good of gaming as a whole.. We could be doing so much better yet people are just coming out with the most bland game design, braindead AI, less care for physics effects... We could be doing so much better than this..
Have you played Marc Eckos Getting Up? Not so much a crime game, but definitely one that has environment of the projects and big city underbelly. Banger soundtrack and art style. Navigating dark alleyways, subways, vandalizing city walls and billboards with a big arsenal of tools.
Kingpin became a cult classic game on the post-soviet region, mainly because of censor-free localization. Which resulted in the game becoming a source of memes. Usually, they censore every word (f-words become "damns" and "hecks", etc), but here it was straight-forward swear-fest mixed with strange voice acting that ranged from professional to "voiced by programmers". Even now, most reviews on Steam are just quotes from the game.
im not sure if you've covered it yet, but if you enjoyed Urban Reign, you might also really like Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance on the PS2. it's the most similar game to Urban Reign I can think of on the PS2, and it also technically falls under crime games
Yo i love your content Vyncent ! My name is Vincent too ! I really dig all the breakbeat jungle/Dnb you use for background music ! You have taste in music for sure lol
Really appreciate that my friend! I’ve included fight for NY in a couple of videos, but I absolutely plan on solely covering the series in a future video! Thanks for watching 😁
Learn these stuff: Early 00s means 2000- first half o 2003. Mid 00s means second half of 2003- first half of 2006. Late 00s means second half of 2006- 2009. You should call your series Crime Games Of The 2000's. Kingpin Life of Crime should not be on this list, because it came in 1999.
@@Vynsentbro don't apologize that's his opinion personally when I hear early 2000s I think 2000-2010 I don't think of breaking the early 2000s into sub categories themselves and I'm a 90s kid that lived the best years of their life through the early 2000s- 2010s
Scarface on pc is so bad optimized, it took me years untill i had a new pc for it to run. Like, usually games will run if you have more than minimum requirements, but not Scarface.
Lol 187 ride or die just like 50 cent bulletproof 25 to life & crime life gang wars were all crime games that were very stereotypical cashed in on san Andreas success lol not mailbu most wanted that is clearly a wigger movie
Please Crime life :Gang wars 💖 .. Crime life was unique, too bad it was unjustly destroyed by critics, 😓just because it was seen as a "gta clone"... Then CL:GW was also a fighting game, I don't think Gta Sa ever was... Then the story of Crime life was wonderful (.. The more you went on, the more beautiful it became), good fighting,The Outlaws, conquering territories, with rival gang members getting Always stronger (it changed according to the clothes they wore), then the spectacular music, the song "the end" at the end of the game... Touching🥲. splendid game, sunk by critics and loved by players... Il gioco piu sottovalutato di sempre. Bel video:) Greetings from Italy

Very glad I could do it some justice! Thank you for watching 😁❤️
Beat Down: Fist of Vengeance, Crime Life: Gang wars and Final Fight: Streetwise also definitely fit into that early 2000's crime game niche
Noted! I’ll definitely be checking these out for future installments 😁
Crime Life that's the D12 videogame right? Loved the trailer with a bopping song.

It definitely was a more creative time back then! I think that’s what makes so many of these titles so timeless 😁
Man, 187: Ride or Die was a staple for me and my brothers. What a strange concept for a game, but a damn fun one.
Really wish I could have had it back in the day! The couch co-op had to be a blast 😅

Urban reign is so great & has become one of my favorites it wasn definitely inspired by def jam fight for new york which is another favorite of mine
Loved urban reign! The combat is so fun

It’s definitely got some solid meme potential 😅

I’ve gotten a couple of recommendations to try it, I’m definitely gonna have to give it a play! Sounds really similar 😁
worked at the theater when MMW came out. seen it a million times. Love it!
Haha it’s a classic!
Slight correction Scarface both the game & film are set in the 80s not 70s
It’s tradition for me to mess up a date in every video at this point 😅
@@Vynsent all good brother honest mistake sometimes it’s hard to keep up with dates 😅
Great video as always. Looking forward for the Atlus one, can't wait to see it! 😁
Looking forward to it as well! Should be a good time 😁

You are a goat man. Glad u covered "kingpin". Red steel 1 is worth looking into.
Looking forward to part 4.. Whenever u do it
Thanks a bunch, I do my best! 😁 I’ll add red steel to my list for a future video!
Lets goooo. Bro is controlling fire with this one.
Doing my best! 💪😁

@@Blueqoose Yessir!
It be cool if you made a video of def jam and similar games. Also loving your stuff man
Edit: let's go urban reign mentioned
Really appreciate that my friend! I’ve included fight for NY in a couple of videos, but I absolutely plan on solely covering the series in a future video! Thanks for watching 😁
Yooo Ride or Die 187!! :D
You know it! 😁
Tremendous video as usual
I appreciate you, my friend 😁❤️
7:26 The Scarface game should have went through the movie, and then at the last scene, you can win the gunfight
That would have been cool!
