Customer Reviews

Just plain bad
Lately there have been a number of games made based on classic movies (From Russia With Love, The Godfather, Scarface), and they've all had mixed results, and for those expecting anything halfway decent out of the video game adaptation of Quentin Tarantino's debut film should steer clear of Reservoir Dogs. The game basically runs parallel to the film, with many of the scenes from the film re-done in full CG effect, though many of the cutscenes look pretty bad. Your job is to carry out missions based on events that you only heard about in the film; ranging from car chases, dodging cops, and above all, taking hostages to survive. What's really sad about Reservoir Dogs is how quickly boring the game gets. While you can choose to be a violent psychopath or a smooth professional criminal, either way the game gets pretty boring pretty quickly, and taking hostages doesn't really do much to the already lame AI. The best thing about the game is by far the audio and voice acting, even if Michael Madsen is the only cast member to lend his voice to the game. The graphics are choppy and the controls serve their purpose, but beyond that there isn't anything here that we haven't seen or heard before, and it hardly does justice to the source material. All in all, even if you're a die hard fan of the film, this is better left on the shelf.

fun and authentic
First of all, the violence in the game is pretty bad. As long as you can separate the silly game play from reality. I think this game is completely authentic to the theme of the movie. Allowing you to play through scenes in the movie and even play through moments only talked about in the film. the characters somewhat look like the actors for the most part. Some voices aren't exact. Obviously Mr. Blonde sounds great with the help of Michael Madsen. The guy doing Mr. pink does decent impression and Nice guy Eddies voice is DEAD on perfect!
Game play is mostly a shoot-em-up style game. Collecting different weapons, smoke grenades, flash grenades as well as blueprints ( to unlock extras ). While your path of travel is somewhat limited, the scenery varies enough to keep it interesting. There are some mixed in driving missions which aren't too bad and have a strong similarity to the GTA games. There's hostage taking, manipulation and police opposition too. Sometimes hiding out and using stealth can get you out of a jam instead of just shooting your way out. Unlike some other games like GTA, hiding behind objects will sometimes throw the police off and keep them guessing where you are. Good graphics and easy to use controls with zoom in targeting. Great job on the sound too ( voices in other rooms, sirens, shattering glass ) I can't say enough about the great job they did with the accuracy of the movie to game story and play. If your a fan of the movie and these style games this is a must have! I am surprised at many of the negative reviews for this game. I can be picky with games but I enjoyed Reservoir Dogs a lot and think it has great replay value as well.

A great game for fans of the movie!!! Reservoir Dogs rocks!!!
Being a Reservoir Dogs fan,I just had to have the video game for my PS2!!! Some did not like this game but I surely did!!! Great fun gameplay and 70's rock soundtrack,okay Michael Madsen is the only original voice on this game as Mr. Blonde,but it's still a cool rockin' game!!! So if you are a Reservoir Dogs fan,or a fan of action games,give this great game a try!!! Word to you parents out there,this game is for mature adults only!!!,( it's a very violent game),NOT for the kiddies!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+
