25 to Life is a third-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox which is to be released in 2006.The game was developed by Avalanche Software and published by Eidos Interactive.
Set in a modern environment, the game will allow the player to play as either a police officer or a gangster and have the functionality to be played online with upto 16 players using the network adaptor for the PS2 and through Xbox Live for Microsoft's Xbox.
The game is set to have a variety of hip-hop songs played during the game.
The game has already drawn criticism from American politicians, particularly several in the state of New York, for a feature which allows the player to grab nearby non-player characters and use them as human shields.
The name of the game comes from a typical "indeterminate life sentence" that is often given in the United States upon a defendant's conviction for a violent felony. See the article on parole for more information.
