Downtown Review
If first impressions are to go on, you can’t help but be impressed with this slot by 1×2. It opens with a dark skyline scene, the camera scanning across the tops of buildings, lightning framing the sky and you are drawn in immediately – the feel of the intro much like the film ‘Sin City’. Entering the slot itself tells you more of the story – here you’re dealing the with criminal underworld featuring a gunman, a thug, a screaming lady and a lady from the red light district, drawing more comparisons to the film.
Graphically this slot is very striking. The same skyline from the intro sets the backdrop to the slot, while the reels themselves are a bold mix of black and red. All of the characters are drawn in black and white, with a splattering of red across all of the other symbols – on many occasions indicating blood. You’ll find playing card symbols here, all framed in front of a target which has been riddled by bullet holes. All the time when playing, you’re treated to a nicely atmospheric background sound interspersed with the wailing of police sirens. This slot has two distinct features. The first is the free spins round and the other involves you shooting at a series of high rise buildings.
