Uh. I wasted 30 minutes of my life trying to set up a freakin' account. The first time I tried I got a connection time, and it cleared my ALL of the fields that I'd entered so I had to enter it all again with the Dual Shock. Second time I tried, the fucking game froze and I had to hard reboot. Third time, after entering the text again, I get a message that my username is taken, AND IT CLEARS THE FUCKING FIELDS AGAIN. One last time and I finally get it to go.
It wasn't worth it. At all. I played exactly one game, and didn't even get to finish that because of a server error. I know it a beta, but Christ, I shouldn't have to fight just to play the game. I'd just finished playing a couple of hours of GTA:SA, and 25 to Life is a step down in every way imaginable. The graphics are ass, the controls are poor (Dual Shock shooter syndrome), and the music is annoying ass hell. It's cheesy gang banger rap on a loop. The demo is basically just team deathmatch, no single player. You don't even really have to aim, just point in the general direction of the enemy and tap the trigger until one of you dies. Did I mention a couple of people already had speed hacks?
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIT! I swear, getting a congressman to piss and moan over this piece of crap is the best thing to ever happen to it.
