Reviews
The main complaint of many review gaming sites, gaming magazines, and gamers alike is that the game uses many different forms of slang from the hip-hop and rap culture incorrectly and too often in many of the game's situations, usually when such occasions don't arise. Given the fact that the game was developed directly in France, Ubisoft may've not done enough or any research at all on American-style gang life.
