If you’re thinking about buying property in San Paro, you should already know that you’ll need insurance up the ass. Clearly, the fact of the matter is that Enforcers and Criminals will raise your property damages through the roof with their Obeya and N-TEC crossfire exchanges, and if the graffiti-styled antics of the criminals, or the door-busting warrants of the enforcers hasn’t already caught your attention then you may be intrigued by the lack of parking on the city streets. Of course, life in San Paro can’t be all that menacing, can it? After all, the Enforcers are protectorates of all that is just, and considering that they pretty much own the city, the criminals wouldn’t be damn well smart enough to start working along the G-Kings and the Bloodroses in an all-out war for the city, right? Despite the overpopulation, the city is always under constant threat. In fact, both sides are the threat. In case you ever did wonder why the parking meters are empty and the parking garages are overflowing with pedestrians, the many battles of the city streets should be the greatest indication of that. Indeed, if Real Time Worlds does get anything right, it’s the ability to immerse the players in the War for San Paro. The War for San Paro was declared long ago when the game first appeared during E3, and has since hit the streets quicker than the piles of corpses lined up across the sidewalks and balconies of the inner city’s Waterfront and Financial Districts.
