Kingpin's sounds are, shall we say, in your face. The weapons make pretty good sound effects, and so does your interaction with the environment like breaking windows or opening roll up aluminum doors. That brings us to the speech. There's a lot of foul language in the game, which didn't bother me personally, but I can predict that most people would find it excessive. All the game models look Caucasian, but the amount of trash talk they spew is almost enough to get a hard core gangsta rapper to cringe. Between that and the hard core violence, I guarantee you that this game is getting an 'M' rating at least, and will probably be banned from Germany and other heavily censored countries. My take on it is that the use of foul language was probably a little overdone, and can stand to be toned down a notch or two. At its current level it's pretty gratuitous. Do I see the irony in asking for toned down language while turning a blind eye to the graphic violence? Yes I do. So don't mail me about it =)
