True Crime: Streets of LA

I have True Crime Streets of La for PS2. Believe me or not, this is the only video game that I have for my PS2. I literally play this game every single day. What I like about this game is that if you collect 30 dog bones, you can unlock and play Snoop Dogg as a undercover cop. All he have to do is solve street crimes. It's really nice that True Crime Streets of La is the GTA clone, which means similar to GTA, except that in True Crime, you have to play as a law enforcement officer. In GTA, you can do whatever you want like missions or killing people, stealing cars, robbing places, One of my favorite police undercover game ever!

I really enjoyed playing True Crime it plays out like grand theft auto, but having you take the position of being a cop the creators did a very nice thing you go up to peoples cars and go police need to borrow your car. The game also isn't perfect it's kind of short not to short just don't think it's going to be as long as the grand theft games and you'll love it. Ok to the story it's about a cop who is assigned a new partner. They don't get along at first, but then they start to get used to one another. The levels are really fun you can drive around destroying most of the city, you can make arrests which is cool, and for the people that can't pass a level and are tired of playing a level you can start another one. my advixe is to rent it first because you migh beat it and get bored of it I just rented it and I am going to tell all of my friends to buy this game and give it a try. *** and a half out of **** really good game.

"Aw diggity damn I gotta go" A game I first discovered years ago on my dads ps2 and had fairly great memories of it. Coming back to it in my 20's, I'm finding out a lot of this game was fogged up by my nostalgia. While yes, I enjoyed this game a lot, and found all 3 storylines fun and exciting, I also found that this "open world" doesn't feel very expansive or even interesting. The only thing you can do, side mission wise, is finding random crimes (which I should mention, are recurring and don't have any ounce of story of completion). Now, the reason you want to do these is because you get reward points, and after 100, you earn a badge which you then can use to get an upgrade of your choosing (weapon, fighting, or driving). It's pretty boring ngl, especially since the open world is kinda big, just absolutely nothing to do in it. So in that aspect, the game feels pretty linear, which isn't the worst, but not great either. The poor ending was kinda lame, but the average and good endings were fun stuff, although the story doesn't get memorable until near the middle/end of the game. The missions were fun for the most part, I even enjoyed trying out the alternative missions too. Got like 93% of my upgrades until I beat the game all the way through, so I'd say I did a pretty thorough job with this game. In all, I can't say True Crime: Streets of LA held up my expectations for it, but it's a very fun if maybe slightly average game that feels different enough from GTA to feel like it's own thing. Recommended.

Don't listen to frank gifford. I don't know who gave him a computer to use, but he's wrong.

Sure, there are games that will and have taken the GTA go anywhere, do anything gameplay and the attitude that keeps you playing, but there was so much put into True Crime that you have to applaud it. Russel Wong must have gotten a lot of cash for lending his voice to this game, because he's all over it. There are hours of his dialogue, wisecracks and his grunts and groans as his character, Nick Kang, fights. Christopher Walken is in here as well, playing the old friend of Nick Kang's father.

The major similarity to GTA is that you can do what you want when you want, and you can go on to the next mission when you feel like it. The twist is that you're a cop and if you act violently, you become a bad cop, making cops your enemy as well.

There is a large soundtrack- about 50 songs or so- that are unedited. There are also some nice cheats and options as well for replayability.

So If you're looking for a game to hold you over until the next GTA, this is definitely it.

Sound: 8/10 Graphics: 8.5/10 Gameplay: 8.0

This game is just beautiful to look at and play, The story-line actualy keeps you in the game *unlike VICE CITY*. You play a cop in this one not a ganster which is kool becuase you can arrest people now.

But If I could change or add something to this game then I would add more weapons, more missions, New cars, more charactors to choice from,And the chance to fly a plane or helicopter.

My rating for this game -------

8/10

Looking forward to the movie! (coming the fall of 2005)
