Probably violates the advertising code in like every country though. Haha, considering that the British even banned our tourism ad where the girl says, “Where the bloody hell are you?” at the end.

I am a bit sceptical of the game showing parts that the film didn’t. I don’t want to have these extra scenes that I feel don’t have the spirit of the original film. I would rather have opinions as to what happened to Mr Pink and have a mental picture as to what happened in the diamond store, rather than have someone tell me this is how it is.

hey guys just to solidify ur thoughts on wether or not QT has any say in the game,…well he doesn’t. the rights to the game were bought from him by the company that’s designing the game (although i’m not sure which).
I already thought he probably didn’t have any say…but it still should be good 8)
Check this out
Reservoir Dogs
I like that.
Some reviews are coming in…Not too good. The game has been leaked.

Reservoir Dogs (PC)
If you’ve never heard of Reservoir Dogs before, you’re probably better off watching the movie than playing the game.
The Good: It’s Reservoir Dogs, the signature torture moves.
The Bad: The basic gameplay, the outdated graphics, the driving missions.
--------------------------------
Rervoir Dogs is the film that marked the debut of Quentin Tarantino as a film director back in 1992. It introduced many of the themes and aesthetics that Tarantino’s been using throughout his movies. The violence, pop culture references, the unforgettable dialogue and the nonlinear stories.
Now; I only heard about the game maybe two months ago on Gamespot and at first I was a bit skeptical about the project, but as they started to revealed the game I was starting to draw more interest about the game. The images looked decent and the gameplay movies looked cool for the purpose. But the main question was if the game would be able to capture the unique atmosphere of the movie.
The game starts as a tutorial to the game, making sure that you know how to handle a gun, how to take cover properly and how to interact with hostages and cops. Once you’re ready, Chapter 1 kicks in and you finally get to showdown for the first time against the cops as Mr. Blue in the “way-bigger-than-I-remembered” jewelry shop. Your mission is simple, you have to get out of the place alive and get to the warehouse. As you go, you get to decide how you want to play the game, it’s either as a gun-blazing one man army or you try to take advantage of the hostages to neutralize the cops. And depending on how you did during the level, you get a campaign rating that you accumulate throughout the whole game. You get the basic Psychopath rating that you get by killing everything that moves, the Professional rating when you prefers to neutralize than to kill and the Career Criminal rating which is somewhat in between the other two (the only thing that your overall rating affect is the ending you get). So yeah, when facing the cops you can either grab a close bystander and take him hostage or shoot them all to hell. In the first scenario you get to use the hostage as body shield that will make the cops hesitant to shoot you, actually they don’t shoot at all if you have a hostage which is quite useful in back-against-the-wall situation (which rarely happens but still …). With the hostage in your possession you can order the cops to drop their weapons and neutralize them the use of a single button but depending on the type of cops you encounter, you might have to slap the hostage around a time or two for them to listen to you. There’s three types of cops throughout the game. The five dollars rent-a-cop, the normal cop and the SWAT member. The only differences between them is their arsenal and their breaking point. The Security guy is armed with a pistol and drops to his knees the first time you ask him to if you have an hostage but for the two others you’ll have to hurt your hostage first and are armed either with a pistol, submachine gun or a shotgun. Be sure to neutralize the unarmed cops as soon as they drop their weapons because as you’ll move around or turn your back at them, they’ll be grabbing their weapon and taking cover (or at least try) faster than you can say scissors.
So as you kill or neutralize cops / bystanders, you get to fill a bullet-time alike meter that once filled can unleashed a … bullet-time mode for a few seconds which finish as a little Max Payne touch as you watch the guys you killed like if you were watching the Matrix. But if you prefer a more “subtle” approach you can wait to use your fully loaded meter when you get your hands on a hostage which unleash a signature torture move on him that will neutralize any cops that surrounds you as they are disgusted of the gore or whatever. As the chapters unfolds, you get to play the different characters from the colorful cast (to say the least) but you’ll soon notice that the only difference with them apart from looking different (and different from their movie counterpart except for Vegas) is their signature torture move. You’ll also notice that’s pretty much the only thing that’s different at all, it’s the same stuff over and over again, you take cover, you take a hostage, you scare the cops, you kill the cops, you run; rewind. Even some levels are reused but viewed from a different point of view, as Pink went left and White went right. Oh and before I forget, there’s a couple of vehicles-based action inserted in the story as it unfolds but not really worth talking about. It’s basically you driving a car trying to make your way to the finish line, oh and you have access to a boost (funny how the random stolen cars from the cinematics have Nos) that works exactly like the bullet-time meter when you’re on foot. You fill it up as you drive like a madman and shoot stuff, like I said not really worth talking about. To be honest I was a disappointed of the gameplay. The main problem was the fact that the over-the-top violence seems to be the main attraction of the game. You can try to finish levels by neutralizing cops with the help of hostages but it’s crystal clear as you march through the game that gun-blazing was the way the developers wanted you to play the game. As for me, I would have opted for a more subtle approach, a more stealthy type of game maybe, not without some satisfying firefights but maybe not as much as we’re offered right now. Reservoir Dogs was all about the dialog, the violence was used sparingly and to reinforce scenes. And this game is all the way around and it does not work very well. As you shoot your way through a dozen of chapters and you are rewarded with a ten seconds cinematics between each chapters. Yes, most of them are straight out of the movie but it’s still not enough, you miss most of parts that made Reservoir Dogs so great in the first place.
Moving on to the technical side of the game. Only one of the original cast made the transition to the game (Micheal Madsen) all the others have a new face in the game. And let me say this Mr. Orange looks like CRAP, actually most of the characters looks sub-par due to a probably outdated graphic engine. I would have loved to see (or play) Buscemi in the game to play the selfish Mr. Pink that he played so well in the movie. A nice touch though was adding all of the original soundtrack to the game, but the fact that you can only listen to the music in the crappy vehicle session is kind of a letdown. The game runs very smooth though, I’ll give it that, but weights close to nothing in the balance.
I probably played this game more than I should have spent time on but being a die hard Reservoir Dogs fan, I owe it at least a couple of hours of my time. My verdict is, the game’s not bad but nothing special either, everything has been done before and probably better. And if you play the game with the thought of reliving the movie, think again as the game completely miss the point of the movie. But as a game of itself it would probably just make the average or below average grade.

I’d love to see a some cover art
I’m curious to play a demo of the game. If anyone finds a link don’t hesitate to post.

I'll still waste my fifty bucks 8)
I'm in no rush, I'll probably wait til the price goes down though.
Looks like I won’t be getting the Reservoir Dogs video game. What hypocrites. The Australian film rating system is incredibly lax and liberal and rarely bans anything ever. But in our game rating system we have no R18+ rating. So we do get games banned for time to time. And guess what they banned? The Reservoir Dogs video game. The ridiculous thing is that New Zealand has a laxer rating system with games than we do and they banned Manhunt, whereas we got it as it was. And I believe that New Zealand has banned the Reservoir Dogs video game too.
I can only hope this is complete bullshit or that the Australian game ratings board gets a mass of complaints (it has happened quite a few times; public outcry = unbanning) and they decide to overturn it. I mean, GTA San Andreas was the first time we hadn’t banned a GTA game. They let it in uncut with the MA15+ rating. I seriously doubt that the Dogs video game is worse. Absolutely ridiculous.
Here is an article:

The thing that annoys me is that it sounds like they didn’t even bother to classify the game. It sounds like they thought, “We gave an R18+ to the film, Reservoir Dogs, so that means that the game is theoretically an R18+ game, but we don’t have an R18+ rating in games, so it should be banned.” That is ridiculous!
Not to mention un-Australian. We need a liberal politician like Don Chipp to get elected and eliminate censorship. Actually, there is an election coming up for Queensland’s government. I have to go vote.
un-Australian? To be honest with you, I dont believe in being Australian.
But yeah, I do agree with you that I think we’ve discussed this on a few of the other Reservoir Dogs game threads that its stupid that they banned it and they havent even finished the game yet. Stupid ratings system, I know someone who works in the South Australian government system and they attended a conference Microsoft held to help the politicians understand the importance of a R18+ rating system, but the politicians are too stubborn to believe anything else.
The whole blaming video games for violence is stupid anyway, comics were blamed for violence during the 50’s now people wouldn’t raise an eyebrow if a 7 year old was seen reading something like Sin City. Parents need something to blame for their failures, so they just attack whatever the flavour of the month is.
I dont know if we’ll get enough public out-cry to get this one unbanned with all the negative reviews.

I can’t really talk. I wish I was Japanese. But I still believe that being Australian means something. If only so that I don’t feel like I was gibbed when they were handing out countries. Nah, Australia’s nice. My parents could have done worse.
