'''''25 to Life''''' is a [[third-person shooter]] [[video game]] developed by [[Avalanche Software]] and [[Ritual Entertainment]] and published by [[Eidos Interactive]] for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation 2]], and [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and released in 2006.

Set in a modern environment, the game allows the player to play as both a [[Police|cop]] and a [[gangster]], at different times, in a "cops and robbers" style game.  The game can be played online with up to 16 players using the [[PlayStation 2 Expansion Bay#Network Adaptor|network adaptor]] for the PS2 and through [[Xbox Live]] for [[Microsoft]] Xbox, and there is online play for the Windows version as well. While Xbox Live for the original Xbox was shut down in 2010, ''25 to Life'' is now playable online using replacement online servers for the original Xbox called [[Insignia (Xbox)|Insignia]]. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Insignia - 25 to Life |url=https://insignia.live/games/45530018 |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=insignia.live |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Xbox |first=Pure |date=2022-12-21 |title=Xbox Live 1.0 Replacement Adds More Supported Titles, 40 Games Now Playable |url=https://www.purexbox.com/news/2022/12/xbox-live-1-0-replacement-adds-more-supported-titles-40-games-now-playable |access-date=2025-01-15 |website=Pure Xbox |language=en-GB}}</ref> On purchasing the Windows version, customers would also obtain a free "Street Warriors" playing card, which included a featured character from the game itself.
