We could make Jazz3 by editing another game (a shooter) and modifying textures, sounds, maps... etc. But, most of today's games are ineditable and very complex with all types of codes and engines.

Still, there is a game that I’ve played many times (I've finished it at least 6 times) and it would be absolutely PERFECT for this. It has all textures in "tga" format (and before the unpack "jpg"), all sounds in "wav" format and every model has its own file (as every map). It also has a level editor (I think) but I don't know how to use it.

Now, those who already know the game might LOL when I tell you what's this game's name, but here I go; Kingpin - Life of Crime.

The bad thing is that this is a 1st person shooter. But it has many weapons, cutsceens based on textures and modeling (not already recorded avi files or something like that) and it has all the features needed. And, a 1st person shooter is far more real than a 3rd one (you see through a person's eyes like in reality, not from behind).

Well, this is a game about street life, gangsters and criminals (as the name says "life of crime"). It is very violent and it also has very ugly words, but after editing, this wouldn’t be a problem any more. The cool thing is that when you see a person, you can choose to "talk nice" or "tell him bad things" and this makes it really interesting. You can also hire gang members and they will come with you and help you beat up other bad guys.

I used to edit this game myself but the most I could do was to edit "jpg" 's and "wav" 's. But, as I said, this would be a perfect game because it's extremely editable. Editable enough to make a perfect Jazz3 game. If you don't have Kingpin - Life of Crime try to get it and examine it. And I don't think it's illegal to edit this game without the rights from Xatrix (those who made Kingpin) as long as it's a fangame and it's not on money.
