Go to this link, click on "MEDIA", then Click on the first video(the one under "video"). Next skip about 2/3 ahead into the video and just listen.

What does that song remind you of, sounds alot like the song "Buckeye City Rap". I don't know who had the rights, but I've seen this on tv about twice today and knew I had heard it before.

Wow.

That song sounds like 'Welcome to Buckeye City' for a reason, because the Buckeye song ripped that one off. The actual song is called 'Welcome to New York City', it's by Cam'ron and Jay-Z, and is probably 3 or 4 years old at this point. Whoever did 'Welcome to Buckeye City' took the beat and concept from them, not vice versa.

Yikes.

any thoughts on the actual game, though? i think it looks sweet but in screen shots the graphics look bad, ill probably end up renting it first.

I didn't like the first one that much. I rented it and beat it... it wasn't very long and it wasn't that interesting. You drive around and stop crimes, kind of fun, but it was a very base way (there were only a few types of crimes, and all of them required you just pop in and shoot some guys), and the missions and stories sucked.

From what I hear, the second one is more of the same. Give it a rent, it's worth the 5 bucks and you can probably beat it in a few hours.
