Summary

Drug Wars is a gritty, gory romp through a futuristic New York City, circa 3100, where severe global warming conditions have resulted in a harsh divide between upper-class Brooklyn gang bosses and a booming population of engineered Neanderthal bottom-dwellers. Using the powerful Crytek 2 Engine, Paleo Entertainment offers players of Drug Wars a collection of varied maps rife for fast-paced multiplayer chaos, featuring a deadly variety of weapons, including everything from a biomechanical arm to environmental objects - including the severed limbs of your foes - to gain control of the coveted drug trade. Add in several brand-new vehicles to both traverse across the detailed landscapes and mow down your opponents, and Drug Wars offers up a slew of game options to keep players addicted to the bloody fun.

PALGN

Overall, there isn't much on offer to sway gamers other than over-the-top graphic violence in Drug Wars. Those looking a cheap piece of gory entertainment are probably better off picking up a slasher flick from the local video store - at least you can take it back when you don't want it anymore.

Francesco T. gave it a0: I stumbled across the first major bug after like 15 seconds of playing, then another major bug upon using "savegame" 3 minutes later - I then decided to give it up for good - just unplayable PS - now this game it won't even load anymore - I won't bother trying to reinstall. PS - nice the idea of changing the title of the game to get round the bad scores!!!

Merv C gave it a3:
This game was renamed by the manufacturer after low reviews. Look it up under Merchants of Brooklyn, where it has a metascore of 35. I would agree with that assessment. When it wasn't crashing it was really slow. I've already traded it in.

Scott W gave it an8:
