Ok, so some of you have played me in Starcraft and have kicked me around the screen, but you know what? That doesn't matter because now I am going to speak about my game of choice, the bad boys. Some of these hoods that I recruit are so sexy. I love how each facial feature is randomly generated and you can get a black dude with red hair. Anyhow, on to the game.
Now, this game is quite different from Starcraft. It's realtime, and then again it's not. I started out with my 6 hoods, and assigned 4 of them to extorting some local neighbors, and 2 to finding new hoods. I think I had some rad guns so I allocated them to my 2 leuitenants. I clicked "start the week" and off we went. My little dudes went off on their merry ways. I gave the recruiters the Model-T Ford because Reggie's back hurt. I can't have an injured gangsta, can I. No...im paying these guys by the week, and Reggie cost 30 bucks.
I spotted some hoods from other gangs, so like always, I followed one and the very next week I sent a hood of mine to explore that building. Sure enough, its the orange headquarters. Wowie, now all I need is a person with good explosive skills. Aha! Reggie has convinced Vince "Mad Cat" Carrera to join my gang. This dude has 4 stars for explosives and 4 for stealth. Wow, this guy's got skills. Following week I sent "Mad Cat" to bomb the hell out of the front of the evil gangsta's office. Boom...well now "Mad Cat" is on the police list. Crap, better keep him indoors for a while. The bad guy isnt dead, but I'm sure he has at least a few scratches and wants his mommy just a little bit.
Onto next week. By now I have about 12 hoods, and some of these guys are very bad. I let them collect extortion money from nearby neighbors. So, far everything is going quite well. Now for the fun part. I made Jimmy "The Wedge" Jeffricone my firearms man and I have 3 other thugs in his group. I think they deserve quality so I bought them some shiny new tommyguns and a brand new truck. This week I will be cruising around town looking for other gang members on my turf. The penalty for such a thing is death, which is pretty much what the tommyguns are for. Bang Bang Bang. 3 bad dudes dead this week, who will be next???
The following week I get nuclear weapons (I wish). No, not in this game. I persuade the mayor, which is a very good idea, and I set up a whorehouse and a counterfeit press. These illegal businesses rule. Anyhow, Ive payed off the cops in my area of the city, so they shouldn't be bothering my whorehouse unless they need a good spanking. AHEM! Basically after this I've got like 100 blocks of the city paying me extortion and my thugs raid the boss's office and kill him. Quite a fun end of the game, because about 4 police officers show up and start shooting my 4 gunmen and all of the bad guys dudes. Evil gansta dies, and I prevail!
