This is a narrative adventure game in which players follow Vince Walker and Jay **** and their family stories in Arizona during the 1990s. As players progress through each family's storyline, they are presented with various dialogue and action choices that influence the outcome/progression of the story. Some choices require players to follow on-screen prompts that can lead to instances of violence: a deputy shot and killed by a gunman; a character shot in the head by a police sniper; a character strangled; a man hung by a rope. Action sequences are accompanied by occasional gunfire and blood stains on characters' bodies and clothing. The game contains some suggestive material: a depiction of a foot fetish magazine; characters making sexual jokes (e.g., “…so Bill turns to Hillary and says, 'But I thought the Gaza Strip was a topless bar'”; “Hear that?...He can't get it up...Says he's got hard wood...Maybe you need a cold shower.”); a bedroom sequence in which moaning/heavy breathing is heard. During the course of the game, characters are shown smoking marijuana and inhaling aersol fumes to get high. A teenage character is also depicted drinking beer. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.
