''[[Kingpin: Life of Crime]]'' is a [[First-Person Shooter]] released in June 1999. You play as a thug who refused to pay Nikki Blanco. For that, he gets beaten up, dropped off at Skidrow and is told to never show up in Nikki's territory again. Cue the [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
The game takes on a [[Retro Universe]] setting, where Art Deco aesthetics are juxtaposed with futuristic technology and ideas, leading Xatrix to bill the game as set in "a past that never happened".
{{tropelist}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Kingpin.
* [[City Noir]]: The urban locations in ''[[Kingpin Life of Crime]]''. Features everything between desolate ghettos and classy, but equally vile Radio City with it's Art Nouveau architecture (bearing a suspicious resemblance to some places in ''[[Payback]]''). Also
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The game is ''loaded'' with it!
* [[The Dragon]]: Nikki Blanco.▼
* [[Dystopia]]: Skidrow, at least. The rest of the city may or may not qualify for this trope.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: At least one [[YouTube]] comment refers to the player character as "Thug". Hey, it's a [[Meaningful Name]]!
Line 21:
** And at least one player skin that is a shout-out to [[The City of Lost Children]], whose visual style Kingpin borrows from.
** Poisonville is a refernce to Dashiell Hammett's ''Red Harvest.''
▲* [[The Dragon]]: Nikki Blanco.
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: You can choose to play nice, which will allow you to recruit goons to help you out, go on [[Fetch Quest|Fetch Quests]] and things like that.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can choose to play mean, which will result in violence, and prices being driven up.
