The Game's American tour is off and running.

The Compton, Calif., native is fresh off two hugely successful shows in the Pacific Northwest -- one in Seattle and one in Portland, Ore. –- and is gearing up to take his traveling show back to his own backyard of Los Angeles.

Reports from the road have already come in and pronounced the Doctor's Advocate tour to be nothing but vintage Game.

At his Seattle show in the historic Moore Theatre, for example, The Game performed a 70-minute set packed with the hits and full of his West Coast charm.

"He was dressed in a red leather jacket, a red baseball cap, and a red bandana covering his face, though by the end of the night he would be adorned in only black pants and a gold necklace," read a review in The Seattle Times.

Game opened that show with "Westside Story" off his huge debut The Documentary and tore into a set studded with new hits such as "Let's Ride" and "How We Do."

As customary with any recent Game appearance, there was plenty of Hennessy, some verbal jabs at G-Unit and 50 Cent, and a lot of love for Game's South Central hip-hop forefathers.

The Times wrote that, on the Game's urging, the crowd "waved lighters as instructed during 'Dreams,' in tribute to the late rapper Eazy-E, and cheered every song."

And it wouldn't be a Game show without audience participation.

"Toward the end of the show he invited anyone wearing red for any reason to come on stage," the Times wrote.

"Soon enough, he was surrounded by about 50 people, and eventually he asked the women onstage to dance next to him."

The Game's tour continues at the storied Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on Jan. 31 before heading down the coast and back to the Los Angeles area for four House of Blues shows: one in Anaheim on Feb. 1, two in a row on the Sunset Strip on Feb. 4-5, and one more in Anaheim on Feb. 8.
