''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]].
 
[[Needs Wiki Magic Love]].
Line 8:
* [[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 noteable for a weird mix of modern as well as 20's, 30's and steampunk-scifi styles (Cypress Hill music, Tommyguns, and thugs with cybernetic facial modifications all in the same setting!).
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: The game is ''loaded'' with it!
* [[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 22:
** Poisonville is a refernce to Dashiell Hammett's ''Red Harvest.''
* [[The Dragon]]: Nikki Blanco.
* [[VideogameVideo 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.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: To be honest, the player character is this. He was a small-time thug who got beaten up for refusing to pay "protection" money. He starts off trying to get Nikki Blanco, and then escalates to taking on the Kingpin himself.
