Mathis “Detroit” Street Judge
This article was written by: Jacob Hruska (snakeman555)Wait, look at the title again, I had to have a second look as well. That is in fact hit TV Judge Greg Mathis. It is going to be a third person open world shooter targeted at our nation’s youth. The idea is that you are a criminal who gets released early from jail due to overcrowding but you have 2 strikes and have to turn your life around. I think this game could probably work if it is made really well, but I am certainly not convinced it will anything more than a new attempt to compete with GTA. Maybe with a little more good press from the mainstream media.
Rather than going the traditional TV-licensed root of turning a courtroom format virtual, Rich and Mathis are crafting a third-person perspective, open world shooter set in the ghettos of Detroit. Players will step into the role of convicted felon La-Ron Washington, who’s been released from prison early due to overcrowding but has two strikes hanging over his head. La-Ron is given one last chance; he must stay out of trouble, perform community services and avoid negative street influences and temptations. One more strike and La-Ron gets a life sentence from Judge Mathis. But out on the street, the entire Detroit underworld wants him dead for the alleged murder of a crime boss – a murder he didn’t commit.
Do you think this new take on open world games could work?

umm, lame game!
but what if you could be judge Mathis, and go around kicking bad guy ass. That would be a sweet game!
Ok, I live right outside Detroit currently- and I think this is frakkin hilarious!
Can’t wait to see how horrible, and hopefully amusing this game is.
I’m think PC only though, I don’t see how this could make money on a console with a 59.99 price
