PULL THE TRIGGER

Bullets are flying. No matter what side you’re on, you gotta shoot or die. Are you a Criminal, Law Enforcement or someone who just wants to get the hell out? Guess what. You’re all three. Just make sure the blood in the streets belongs

to someone else. You pull the trigger, you pull hard time or you pull eternity in a pine box. Pick your weapon.

In Single Player mode, fight through the mean streets on both sides of the law…

. . . AS FREEZE

Freeze is a thug and drug dealer who wants out. He figures his days are numbered if he doesn’t escape the life. But not so fast — you don’t just retire unless someone pops a cap in your brains and every other body part. You will pull one last job while Law Enforcement and thugs alike try to make this your last day on earth.

. . . AS DETECTIVE LESTER WILLIAMS

You know the streets as well as any Criminal. You’ll put away a dirty cop as quick as a lawbreaker. Sometimes you’ll work with a partner. He’ll know how to cover your back. Just do the same for him or he’ll bleed and die just like anyone else.

. . . AS SHAUN CALDERON, LEADER OF THE 22 STREET D-BOYS

You’re a gang leader, murderer and Freeze’s best friend. Every choice you make is the one that keeps you in power.
