 Best Game album yet October 5, 2008
This album is brilliant, it is much better than the doctors advictate mainly because he does not go on about Dre on each track, this is his own work and it shows how good he is, there is no bad track on this album so i reccomend it highly
 Some class production September 29, 2008
Just to second what others have said...
Yes, this album does have too many tracks, and as a result some aren't as good as others. However, they're ALL listenable, and several tracks are game at his best. The production behind some of the tracks is brilliant, and his rapping style is true, compared with that of 50 cents bubble gum rap.
Anyone who was a fan of the first albums should DEFINATELY give this a chance. Tracks to look out for include Money, Big Dreams, My Life, Angel, State of Emergency (california aint a state...it's an army lol) and many more.

I love this album and it just proves again for the 3rd time of what a great lyricist The Game is. It's an all round rich album, however he does tend to drift off into sounding like other rappers again in one or two tracks (refer to the 2nd verse of 'Never Can Say Goodbye' where he sounds like Biggie, just like he sounded like Dr.Dre on Devils Advocate) Nevertheless, it's worth the money.
Songs to listen out for:
Lax Files
My Life (touching song, great lyrics)
Money
Let Us Live
Touchdown
Dope Boys (Best Track in my opinion)
Game's Pain
Songs to Skip:
Cali Sunshine
Ya Heard (dissapointing track, surprising as I woulda thought a Ludacris/Game collabo woulda been hotter)
And another thing, The Game shoulda got someone else to do the intro and outro, DMX sounds ridiculous when infact, he's actually saying something serious!
Good Album (Download individual tracks) September 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Let's put it out there first, the album is too long. Too many tracks trying to achieve too many things and I think that is because there is little singular purpose on the album unlike Doctor's Advocate. The Game said he recorded 220 songs for this album - it kinda shows.
BUT the album is still very enjoyable. The Game is an able rapper who has done great appearances for Nas among others. As a result of these collaborations there are no fewer than 13 credited guests on the album. It even starts with a prayer from DMX!
Best track for me is Angel ft. Common which seemed like an unlikely pairing (other goodies include My Life ft. the obligatory Lil Wayne, Ya Heard ft. Ludacris, Game's Pain ft. Keyshia Cole, Letter to the King ft. Nas- on the deluxe version Big Dreams). There are a few excellent tracks on this album but they seem few and far between split by a lot of padding and weak, weak songs.
AGAIN rappers seem to think that value for money for a record means giving the buyer quantity and not quality. If you were a big fan of Doctor's Advocate and The Documentary then you won't be disappointed as such (hence the four stars) but you will be left in anticipation for a while waiting for something potent and poetic, of which is The Game is capable.
I think the weaker tracks ride on predictable themes in hip hop now like the track Money which is saved by a good sample production by Cool & Dre who produce a lot on the album.
I would buy individual tracks but not the album as a whole. The individual tracks are good but you have to sift through and I reckon most people who buy/download the album will do a lot of skipping. As an album, if this is The Game's last work, it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
