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.
