Videogame Sighting of a Tucker

[Tuckerfan1053]

Apparently, there's one in Mafia II. http://www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=19524&width=1600



(There's no cyclops eye because they're apparently worried about being sued. )

Well it looks like I might need to buy a PS3. Stupid Wii...

[cicero]

who would have the right to sue? There tuckers in other video games and they have the cyclops headlight.

i have planned on getting this game for a while now, having a Tucker in the game is jsut icing on the cake.

Walker Rocket is to Tucker Torpedo as HAL is to IBM...but in this case who the heck did they think would sue them?

[Tuckeroo]

Walk around the Walker and take it for a spin...no denying its origin:

Only one tailpipe and two headlights...that diminishes some of the sweetness, but I like the tail light and c-pillar window treatment.

They've apparently done the same thing with every other make/model in the game, so Cadillacs are given a different name and tweaked slightly to differentiate them from actual GM designs. No doubt their legal department has taken a "zero tolerance" attitude towards the matter and they don't bother even guessing if they can be sued or not, they just act like they can, and go from there.

Delightfully ironic for a game that's all about breaking the law

Hey! Somebody did their homework! http://mafiagame.wikia.com/wiki/Walker_Rocket

The Walker's Statistics:
Basic Max. Power: 166 Horse Power (124 kW)
Top Speed: 125 MPH (201 km/h)
Weight: 4233 lb (1920 kg)

This indicates the Walker is a very powerful and fast car despite a high weight. It has good statistics all-around.

C'mon, now. We all know the violence and killing is not what gets you caught or put away. The undoing is always stuff like “wire fraud” and “copyright infringement”

I can say that they have put alot of detail into the cars of the game and they look great.
