Fear & Respect was a video game for the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, and the Xbox 360 consoles that has been canceled, although was intended for a 2006 release. John Singleton was involved in the production of the game. He has directed movies (Boyz N the Hood, Baby Boy and 2 Fast 2 Furious) and has been involved with other video games in the past.

The game featured Snoop Dogg (who plays Goldie) and other characters. The player played in a third person mode. The objective of the game is to fight to gain respect of rival gangs in South Central Los Angeles. If the player gains a gang's respect, then they will treat you differently than if they fear you.

At the time of announcement, there were very few details released about the game. However, one trailer and thirteen screenshots have been made available by Midway.

Although the game was intended for a 2006 release, as of March 1, 2006, Fear and Respect has been officially canceled, as reported by GameSpot. It was believed that the game has been canceled because of growing competition within the urban-themed video games market. [1] The game is the earliest canceled game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

There was also going to be a feature film made, directed by Singleton.
