Best videogames to have been set in New Jersey

There have not been many video games to have been set in the state of New Jersey, however there have been some exceptional ones that have been released over the years.
There have been a number of classics, whilst there have been some that are perhaps just not necessarily associated with the state in the first place, which provides players with a rather unique twist and one that would not have been expected, just like when bettors look for the best casino apps, some unexpectedly pop up.
So, what are the best video games to have ever had part of their storylines set in New Jersey? Here is a list of a few of those titles that video game fans will remember from the past.
Road Riot 4WD
Road Riot 4WD is an arcade racing game developed by Atari Games, originally released in 1991. In the game, players control a dune buggy equipped with weapons and try to win global competitions.
The player controls a four-wheel-drive dune buggy equipped with weapons. After conquering the basic track, players will have to browse 11 other tracks to win the championship. Locations are Saudi Arabia, Iowa, Africa, Swiss Alps, Lower Mexico, Antarctica, Ohio, Las Vegas, New Jersey, California and Australia.

Following the New Jersey-based Mafia mob, the story of the game takes place between the fifth and sixth seasons and focuses on Big Pussy Bonpensiero’s illegitimate son, Joey LaRocca, as he makes his way into the family business.
Unlike the TV show, the game focuses almost entirely on the mafia aspect of The Sopranos, rather than the integration of family, business, and therapy that fans of The Sopranos are used to.

Eric Sparrow lives in the suburbs of New Jersey and dreams of becoming famous skateboarders and travels all over the United States to make his dream come true.
Max Payne
Max Payne is a third-person shooter developed by Remedy Entertainment Plc in which the player takes on the role of the title character, Max Payne. There have been three editions of the Max Payne games released as of 2020.
The first instalment of the game franchise was set in August 1998, as Max returned to his home in New Jersey and discovered that three junkies had broken into his house while on a new drug called Valkyr. Max rushed to help his family, but it was too late: his wife Michelle (Haviland Morris) and their newborn daughter Rose had already been brutally murdered, which led him to deep despair.
