Reservoir Dogs' weird 2006 tie-in game | minimme 

hi everyone thanks for watching, someday i'll review all the 2006 third-person gangster games based on beloved licenses that all came to exist as a response to both the success of Grand Theft Auto and licensed games in the early-to-mid 2000s - here's a few i've looked at so far: Scarface: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9UqfjeHoDFQ.html Miami Vice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0lKoWaalADY.html The Sopranos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0BXKDc1st0.html The Godfather: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a21D9NmEyEc.html

This and the Scarface game were my secret ps2 gems. Me and my friends played here in Brazil without even understanding the language, but oh boy! we had fun

This would make a sick telltale game. One cop is undercover and you find out who all through dialogue and light action

This was the oddest choice of a movie to make a game out of. A dialogue heavy movie about failed heist gets turned into a game. I remember when I was first saw this sitting on the shelf at my local Family Video. I couldn’t believe it and I had to rent to it.

The whole hostage mechanic was actually kinda fun althought the whole "Hey wanna know what these guys were doing outside of the warehouse?" was a weird idea for a plot. It's a shame that the collective never got to do their Dirty Harry game.

My favorite part is how they couldn't even get Tarantino's fucking likeness and he made the movie.

Replacing Tony Montana with Tony Hawk on the Scarface cover ( 1:05) is the edgiest skater kid thing ever. It's perfect. Thank you so much.

Honestly, it looks pretty good for a 2006 movie license game

I bought this game on PC a while ago. It's so weird that it got banned in Australia for a scene that was literally in the movie.

I played this game so much back in the day that I was able to complete it without killing a single enemy and getting a perfect professional ranking on every mission. It’s one of my favorite gems with a lot of great memories attached to it.

These games always have one really interesting gimmick I've never seen in a game before and would really like to see done better. It's like if you put all of these games together you'd have one really unique open world crime game.

1:12 that Scarface box art was so good it gave me Mandela effect moment

It feels weird to be nostalgic of the "weekly rental game" era and yet here I am

The Australian secret police are gonna get you for this one...

The hostage mechanic reminds me of that one game "I Am Alive". Except that was bluffing that you had a bullet in the gun. Also, would recommend the Star Wars Episode III game. Got into a pretty lengthy talk the other day about how, in a way, that was one of the better games where you played a force user before Force Unleashed came out.

I shall name this subgenre "Early 2000's Mafia-Core" i like the sound of that, I'm currently going through the godfather part 2 and I'm having a blast

My favorite thing about this game was how they portrayed Mr. Blue’s death. Getting shot to death in front of a theatre screen.

The skateboard on the Scarface cover art was so well edited I actually had to look up the real box art because I was like "There's no way"

I guess we'll have to wait til 2030 for the Hateful Eight tie in game. ...Shaun White Skateboarding

The dead eye from read dead redemption was done in red dead Revolver and that came out before this

I found it odd how so many classics found there way into lower budget games towards the end of the PS2's life... Reservoir Dogs, Miami Vice, The Godfather (arguably better than most,) Scarface, Knight Rider. It's like all these classic IPs for movies and tv shows were just shat out with low budget games that were destined for mediocrity.

It's amazing how you've come from being really shy to almost 200k subs. Congratulations, your hard work has made some fantastic content and you really deserve your success!

Lawrence Tierney and Chris Penn died well before the game’s release, so unfortunately they wouldn’t have been able to get all the actors even if they could afford to. The game is mediocre and can be finished in a single day, but I’ve seen worse than this. Is Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days on the table for a future video?

Ha, I actually remember renting this for a weekend back when it came out. It was exactly that, a decent weekend rental. Spot on.

Finally, someone else who makes the "Same age, same income, same super contributions" joke

This game was actually my exposure to this movie, much like Rockstars The Warriors was to the 1979 classic. That said, The Warriors was infinitely better than this. Most of the cast returned, they added a whole plot leading up to the meeting aswell as an entire backstory for the characters, and you also get to play through the movie in the last quarter of the game! Most Levels were open ended so it encouraged exploration to find dealers and complete side objectives. You got the Warriors own hangout and a portion of Coney to explore and do side objectives in to earn new abilities in combat. The 2 player mode works like a dream and I can't tell you how many sleepless nights me and my brother had playing the Rumble mode on it. You even get a 2.5D beat em up game after beating the story that feels like a huge tribute to games like Double Dragon and Final fight. Id love to see you talk about this one soon!

So someone wanted to take Reservoir Dogs, a movie that takes place in very few locations and is dialogue focused, and turned it into am open world action game? I don't know how you could miss the point harder. Given a few more years, it could have easily transitioned into a Telltale game.

Great review! It made me want to buy it for my collection. Just wanted to say the dead eye mechanic is in the original red dead revolver from 2004. I feel like Red Dead Revolver is very overlooked since redemption 1 and 2, but is amazing in its own right, even if more linear.

Oh wow, I just watched the movie for the first time earlier this week! Seeing this video coming out right now is awesome as I still have the movie fresh in my mind also, great vid as always!

I like the idea of the game being a sort of companion piece to the movie showing you why these shootouts were not shown in the film

Been waiting for this big up 👊👊👊👊💯

check out "Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure" for the ps2, combines stealth with parkour and fighting, you play as a graffiti artist

Great vid! I'd love to see you do a video on the PSP GTA titles. Include the Gameboy and DS titles as well if you want. With the GTA Trilogy remastered rumored to come to Switch, it's a perfect time to dive deep into the older portable GTA games!

MINORTY REPORT HOMIE. If you dont review it, you'd still have fun playing it I guarantee.

I know I'm a bit lit to the game but I remember when this game released and it was such a hassle for me to actually get. I had to drive to 3 city's around me and no one was carrying a single copy. I stopped at an independent shop on my way home and couldn't spend my 20 dollars quicker. Then I played the game. The looking was better than the playing.

The 'same age, same super contribution' bit made me chuckle and reminded me that other Australians do, in fact, exist and use the internet.

I actually played this one allot! I'm really glad you finally looked into this one!

Just found this game at one of my local game stores for the PS2 and I can't wait to try it out! I watched this video when you originally posted it and I rewatched it as a refresher for what I'm about to get myself into! Thanks for the great content always!

Michael Madsen agreed to voice his character in the game because the advance check cleared. I think he's a great actor, but he doesn't seem to turn anything down as long as long as the project doesn't mess with his plans for the weekend.

Interesting video mate, never played this! Definitely hanging out for your warriors video, that game was great. The best movie tie ins will always flesh out the universe and characters further!

I remember being super pumped for this game and knowing it was going to suck at the same time. And I had to drive to 3 different towns to buy it. Not worth it.

Reservoir Dogs is my all-time favorite movie and I also really like the game as well. If you're a fan of the film, this game won't disappoint you.

Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, The Getaway, MadeMan, 25 to life, and Dead to Rights were something I always played on my free time :)

You know looking at this, for being a late gen PS2 game it looks pretty good. Like the animations and the environments look good. The car model looks decent too.

That idea of aiming at people threatening them but also directing them is really interesting. At least they had some new ideas

Been waiting for this one without even knowing it Thanks man

In my opinion, this game is awesome. The characters don't seem like movies' actor 'cause of copyright trouble

If I recall correctly racking up Professional or Psychopath ratings determines how the game ends. In the movie Mr. Pink runs out of the warehouse and we hear shots. In the game he either is killed (psychopath) or escapes (professional). Great vid as always!

That's not Red Dead Redemption's Dead Eye mechanic being done four years earlier, that's Red Dead Revolver's Dead Eye mechanic being done two years later.

Imagine, a video game where it's the in-game graphics that look better than the cg cutscenes

That recreation of the intro walk is really charming

I see minimee I click at once, I dont wait a second!

Oh my god "same age, same super contribution" I thought I was the only one who ever references that!! 😂

Yes! I was waiting for you to do this one, now do The Punisher game.

Tony Hawk's face in the Scarface cover at 1:11 was the weirdest thing in this channel I've ever witnessed.

I only learnt this game exists the other week. Crazy timing with the posting of this vid

I don't know why but I really love 3rd person shooter games from 2000's (even if it's so bad like this one). there's some weird charming of it that I really can't find in modern games, the graphics, the weapons, the level design, the cgi cutscenes, etc. that was just a stupid comment honestly lmao but I truly love theese games I think I'll name a few -Max Payne 1,2 (truly legendary games) -Total Overdose, Chili Con Carnage (really awesome game) -The Punisher (really a blast from the past) -The Suffering, Ties That Bind (action with great horror) -Stranglehold (this one a have a destructive crazy gunfight lol) -El Matador (kinda janky but still ok) -Scarface The World is Yours (my word couldn't do justice for this one) -Dead to Rights (awesome game) -Freedom Fighters (great game) -Made Man (kinda bad but like it) I just wasted my time writing this comment and I don't know why lmao (always loves your vids man keep up the good work :)

Fair review, really fair review, never seen a fairer review, I worked on it so, I propeely enjoyed that 👍

Hey, nice review you've made there. I just want to say that ShadyFox made a really nice cover of "Stuck in the middle with you", it is actually better than the original.

Joe Cabot looks like an overgrown toddler in the game.

My absolute favorite game if this type is The Warriors video game. In complete honesty, it is my favorite video game of all time. Hope see your video on it! You got my sub for putting a spotlight on games I played a lot of and loved growing up!

Only a true legend would risk jail time to give us a video on a below average video game from 2006

"Same age, same super annuation" is such a specific and Australian reference.

5:22 😂😂 damn that car exploded for no reason lol

The Warriors is by far the best one. To really capture the before and after, really brought you back into why the movie was so well received. Never forget, possibly one the most things related to movie, really set the path for creativity, brother/sister hood, love , pain , art and the heart of NYC.

Huh....Im the only one dont remember Tony Hawk playing the Lead part in Scarface? 😄

Thanks for covering these type of games! I just wanted to say that it really broaden my horizon on some very obscure games that were overlooked at the time. But definitely cover The Warriors game!! For a game based on a movie and from Rockstar games themselves, it turned out to be a pretty big surprise all things considering! And if you haven't checked out the movie yet, please do so. Its basically a 2 hour chase scene like Max Max Fury road, but with gangs trying to chase this one gang down. Pretty intense for its time and I think both the movie and the game hold up so well to this day.

Holy crap that Tony Hawk insert is your best one yet. Legendary.

Ohhh my guilty pleasure, i liked how you had different endings depeding if you were psycho or professional, the ending shows what suppossedly happens to mr pink after he leaves

Nice replacement of Tony on the Scarface cover, makes me want to mod a skateboard into the game now.

the stencil shadows & floor reflections are really well done. I wonder if it looks this good on Xbox & Ps2.

That driving part reminded me of that Starsky & Hutch videogame for some reason

I love this game. Im so happy you made a vid on it

ah yes another obscure game that I wasn't sure existed, easily could've been a fever dream

Man that hostage taking gameplay sounds so cool and interesting! It's a shame they didn't pull it off well. I'd love to see a modern take on that idea. I don't think I've ever heard of something like that with so much seeming depth (even if it's ultimately shallow in implementation here)

You know you're Australian when you had a chuckle at the "Same age, same super contribution" line

This is an older video but it brought back wonderful memories. When I was a kid I could hardly afford video games, but the "Family Video" near my house had a promotion. If you received the properly colored weekly gumball from their candy machine you could rent a video game with your movies for free. I remember playing this game incessantly because of my love for the movie and I'll always cherish those poor kid memories.

I remember staying on the menu screen just so I could hear the Little Green Bag song

This is game actually got me into the movie and it’s my favorite movie of all time so I always have a special place in my heart.

Great retrospective. Though I know it's mediocre and such a weird tie-in, I have always adored this game and the movie. Thank you for doing this game!

The more of these games you cover the more I realize I played way too many tie in games

I feel enriched for knowing that this exists.

Man I bought this at Giant Tiger on PC back in the day and could not stop playing

I accidentally discovered this game in my 9th grade 14 years ago when a classmate played it during a class-meet period. Looked intriguing to me back then.

The chief censor in New Zealand in 2006 had this big deal about 'justifiable violence" in media, and the hostage thing just didn't follow this idea which is why this was banned here (as well as Rockstar's Manhunt shortly later). Australia was just due to the lack of 18 rating as I recall. Doesn't look like we all missed out on that much at the time, but I've always had a curious interest in it.

My Examined life in gaming does a great video on this game as well, good work mini 👍

Loved putting people in the lockable rooms, just trying to see how many people I could steal when I was younger.

your thumbnails are hideous...I love them so very much 🥺

1:07 I know for sure he's eventually gonna do the one in the middle... *WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY!!!*

I remember being blown away by this game showing what wasn't in my fav movie. (I was 9 and had no business watching. let alone liking a Tarantino Film)

Ngl that Steve Buscemi impression actually sounds pretty good 🤔

Loved this game. Blasting Beans for Breakfast in the car was great

OMG I asked for this last time and it happened well down guys, such great video too. 👍

I rented this as one of my free rentals when i worked at blockbuster. I remember it being a bit of a pain but ended up loving it, not a classic or anything just a ok few hours of gaming.

Like solely for the "Same age, same super contribution" You cheeky devil

Great video, but just a small correction. You mention that this game has Red Dead's Dead Eye mechanic four years early, but the Dead Eye mechanic actually made it's appearance in Red Dead Revolver on PS2 in 2004, two years before Reservoir Dogs.

I still can't imagine playing this over Payday 2's Reservoir Dogs heist. I mean, it's even got a rendition of "Stuck In The Middle With You"

Your voice is asmr for me. Puts me to sleep in minutes.

Height of my RU-vid excitement to see a minimme notification!

Was that Tony Hawk's face on the cover of Scarface on 01:12? 😂
