True Crime: Streets of LA

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)

True Crime is the type of game that you sit down at, have a good time and then you want to play it again. It isn't Grand theft auto and it isn't driv3r but it has some cool features that none of those games have. So if you want just a good, easy to pick up game which has no real depth or heavy plot then choose True Crime: Streets of L.A.

Graphics: 6/10 (big city but spread out and dull) Sound : 10/10 ( Loads of hip hop gangster music) Gameplay: 9/10 ( Some cool features but some flawed controls) Overall: 8.5/10 (A good game to sit down and play for a while)

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!

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.

"True Crime: Streets of LA" came across to me somehow by accident, but after learning that the game has a cool action movie, I decided to explore this product. The abstract promised an exciting open world and the opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Los Angeles with elements of detective and action. In those years, such games were at the peak of popularity, and "True Crime" tried to meet expectations. However, despite the many positive aspects, she left behind mixed feelings.

The first thing that attracts attention is the huge map of Los Angeles, which the developers have tried to recreate with a high degree of detail. At the beginning of the game, it's impressive: the ability to move freely around the metropolis, patrol the streets, deal with criminals and complete various missions seems exciting. However, the scale of the map turns into a disadvantage over time. The locations begin to seem monotonous: the streets of the districts, although different at first glance, soon begin to repeat themselves, and it becomes difficult for the player to remember or study them. This has a negative effect on the immersion process, since Los Angeles in the game does not feel like a living city, but like a set of identical streets and buildings.

On the other hand, the combat mechanics are pleasantly surprising. The game has a decent hand-to-hand combat system with the possibility of using various techniques. The fights feel dynamic and spectacular, allowing the player to apply a variety of combinations of punches and blocks. Shooting also does not disappoint: in addition to an arsenal of firearms, the player can improve his character's skills, which adds tactical depth. Leveling up firearms and skills makes gunfights all the more exciting, especially in the later stages of the game, where skills are key. By the end, the main character's gun turns into some kind of futuristic cannon with an unprecedented list of improvements.

However, this is where the strengths of the game end. Despite attempts to add non-linearity and variability, the tasks and missions in the game are often of the same type and do not offer significant variety. As a result, "True Crime: Streets of LA" begins to feel routine, and because of the repetitive streets and neighborhoods, the motivation to explore the world is rapidly fading.

This project could be something more. It offers a good combat system and leveling elements, but suffers from a monotonous open world and repetitive missions. This is a good game for its time, but it does not reach the level of the best representatives of the genre.

6 out of 10.
