Will 25 to Life Ever See The Shelves?

Yeah, this game crap. People who enjoy playing this for more than 10 minutes need to go see a shrink.

It seems to me that it's relying heavily on the "cop-killer" shock value. The graphics look terrible and it seems like Counter-strike but with cops and robbers. I think it should be banned because it looks like a sh*tty game not because you can kill cops.

Although I do agree it looks like a shitty game, I feel it should not be taken away. What is the difference between this game and GTA series? GTA games you kill cops as well. If you ban this game, might as well ban GTA too.

Well in that case, the politicians don't want another GTA style game. Police and Politics highly criticized the GTA series even saying it was training children to commit crimes and kill police. Though this game does look like crap to me I don't think it should be banned just because you can kill police officers.

We're in the US folks, don't ban this game... if they want to make it and sell it, its fine with me. I'm not going to buy it or play it, but they have the right to make it. Video Games are not just for children and if they put an MA rating on it, they ought to be able to sell it. It's these people's works of art and free expression. Let em make it and put the power in parents hands to keep thier children away from it, like everything else.

The game looks like sh1t, It apears to be nothing more then a GTA ripp off and it should not be banned, we dont bann games like Narc, GTA, or games True Crimes it is nothing more then a really sh1tty looking version of those titles.

I think anyone who buys this game should be black- listed with the police or have a 25 million dollar for life contest to mail in when you buy the game .then they would have the name and address of all the possible perps... No, really I don`t think anyone was going to buy this game anyway.But now that its CONTROVERCIAL people are going to want it .Good going chuck...by the way "chuck" said "this game makes gta look like romper room(a childrens show)"...nice selling point chuck!

I agree with most of the people above, this game reeks of sloppy, mediocre gameplay and last generation graphics.

its like Narc or Dead to Rights, and GTA repackaged in a way that will sell well to the mainstream consumers.

video gangsters who don't know anything about game quality will line up like lemmings to buy this game. (and I would too if it played like halo)

the senator cannot violate "free speech"so the game won't be banned (if thats the case they would have banned porn and GTA a long time ago), but the free publicity he's giving this game will insure it sells a million.

the senator is playing rigt into the Eidos hand (if he's not already getting paid under the table while winning conservative support)

so Eidos goes from Deux Ex to Deux Crap overnight. I guess everyones got to make a buck.

Cop killing is "glorified" in movies and music, i don't see how its so terrible to do so in video games. These are all forms of entertainment and nothing more. there is a big difference between killing a cop and killiing a virtual cop and i definiately dont think censorship should be the way to go. Honestly, all of us have played GTA and killed a cop, but how many of us feel like we are being enticed to do so. None of us. Murderers arent bread through entertainment and banning this game won't do anything to increase the morals of our society or lessen crime rates.

YO! Whadup G!

@!*%dapolice!!!!

{Just kidding ! ;) }

No one's mentioned the fact that you can ACTUALLY play as a cop and kill the gangsters. I wonder why ?

I kinda think that playing as a cop would be kinda cool but the overall appearance of the game looks shoddy and thrown together. This game is like a ripoff of True Crime which is a ripoff of GTA.

I really think the government is taking this to the limit. why can't they look at the bright side YOU CAN KILL GANGSTERS!!! anyways if there trying to ban this game from going to the stores why couldnt they ban the gta series?? why hasent the government mentioned the fact that you can play the role of a cop and kill gangsters?? im not saying that im gonna buy the game but y cant they just let it go.. they did with other games

I think they're just trying to keep the GTA types of series from coming out because the dumb shrinks have the theory that what kids see in video games trains them for real life. Stupid huh?

HMM, well i quite enjoy my strange right called freedom. that since the patriot act you americans dont seem to enjoy anymore. no game or film should be banned ever. what about the right of free speech ? it may be morally wrong to some people but is it not a human right that your rights are never impacted on by others. why i think it is. so stop all this silly waffling. it shouldnt be banned. end of.

Yes you are right...Iit shouldn't be banned because of politics.

why talk about a game if you havent played it and it may be crappy graphics but its just a freakin preveiew its not the final cut plus all i have heard is cop killer what about playing as the cop ??

@!*% that all the shit that on T.v and we get bent out of shape about a video game what about the espiode of the shield where the cop had to suck dick at gun point their other worst shit out their than this game im mean i a video gamer so i want to test this game out i even play crash badicoot ok feel me on this we should go after bigger threats tha this it all ready 18 and older tittle so it will be parents fault if their kids play it im over the age so let me have fun

The fact is that if this game is banned, what is next?
Are they going to ban Hitman, GTA?
This will settle a precedent.
And yes, there's nothing wrong with this. Like sex, violence sells. I love GTA but i'm not going to kill people, the real problem is the eduction people have.

This is politic BS...

These lawmakers have little to no game playing experience. They're reacting to the fear
of voters (parents). Why not let them know what you get out of playing these games?
The only information they get is what their aides give them.
If you actually read the reports from the "dumb shrinks" you'll find that they're misquoted
& what they are saying does make sense. In essence, If a child has more exposure to
violent content than to parental guidance they will have difficulty socializing & have a
tendancy to see violence as a solution to a stressful situation. It's still the parents &
societys responsibility as a whole to provide alternatives to using the tv as a babysitter.
The thing that concerns most "experts" is that violence as a whole, coursens a society &
our level of empathy for others drops as we become isolated.

I could careless about the morals of the game if the gameplay is there i will by it.

You dont see any politicians trying to ban any movies with questionable morals. Look at the
"The Terminator" how many cops did he kill in that movie? I dont see politicians trying to ban that movie.

While I agree with you that banning this game will not do anything to increase the morals of our society or lesson crime rates, there are few dozen young children, in jail facing serious jail time, because their parents bought them a game that was made for adults, rated M, and never had the sense to teach their kids right from wrong, reality vs virtual reality.

GTA has varied gameplay. That game is so open, that you could do almost anything, from being a taxi driver, being a pimp, stealing cars, and yes, killing cops.

However, this game is built, and only built around the plot of killing cops.

Free speech is great and should be upheld, but you have to consider the fact that kids, no matter what, are getting these games, they have idiot parents, and therefore, a small % of these kids get an idea in their heads, hey, why keep doing this on a console, I would like to know how it feels for real.

I love playing Conker. That is a rated M game. That game would be even better if we didn't have little kids in the game, acting like their little power rangers and annoying as hell. Why cannot we at least have one great game, where adults only are allowed to play? That would be nice, there are a lot of games for kids to play that are made for them.

Microsoft owns you all!
