"whack the jamook"

Pros
- voiced by james gandolfini and company. behind-the-scenes of recording sessions included as bonus content.
- Like Lost Via Domus, it's remarkable that a landmark of Golden Age Television was adapted for a game. Looking forward to THE WIRE next.
- naked chicks
- ending credits is a slideshow of TV Stills of all the main cast, it's so tonally opposite of the true series ending that it's funny.
- cheats make it easy to beat. (infinite health / ammo / respect)
- bat mitzvah

Cons
- It's not fun to play. Stiff combat.
- All the levels are smutty locations with shitty people. There's nothing appealing. Doesn't lean into the camp or goofiness like Saints Row.
- No Carmela.

It's an oddity and a relic of unnecessary PS2 licensed games. It's bad, but not "so-bad-it's-good". Just bland.

The gameplay didn't age like wine for sure but it is still an easy game dude. I only died 2 times to those guys who were trying to whack AJ and all I had to do was firing my gun a few more times.
