Product Description
Product Description
In True Crime: Streets of L.A., players assume the role of rogue Elite Operations Division (EOD) operative Nick Kang, a no-holds-barred badass, whose brutal reputation and lethal skills have landed him the nasty task of taking down the Chinese Triad and Russian Mafia cartel that has turned the City of Angels into a war zone. Take part in explosive gun battles with double-fisted firepower, devastating martial-arts brawls and high-speed shoot-outs across 250 square miles of accurately recreated LA. In car or on-foot, the unique branching missions include locating hostile witnesses, searching for case-cracking clues, taking out evasive informants and busting the heavily armed and deadly bad guys.

This game has 3 main areas of play. fighting, shooting and driving. all of the areas r pretty solid, but the fighting area is the only 1 that beats vice city. the game jumps a lot when u drive fast, and the AI for the other cars isnt great. they will gladly run u over and keep driving as u try and get in their car. the fighting area is good as there is a wide variety of weapons and moves to use, but the basic punches and kicks can beat even the last boss. the shooting areas are fun as u can get upgrades for ur gun, but there isnt a big selection of guns 2 use. The street crimes are fun but very repetitive, and u normally get the same mission a couple of minutes after u have just solved that crime. overall this is a solid game with a few flaws that can only be compared 2 vice city. worth buying tho, as there arent that many quality games around at the mo (exluding the eagerly awaited need for speed underground).

This game could have been so good, but one or two areas let it down slightly. It is worthy of the four stars that I have given it, but it did not achieve the exalted status required to merit full marks. I've seen this game being compared to GTA:Vice City, but I don't think that's fair at all. Vice City was an exceptional game that would take a lot of living up to. Instead, I'm going to review True Crime at face value, and for what it is itself.
To begin with, the graphics are stunning. It's so nice to look at that it resembles the graphics from a top-end PC game. The playing area is tremendously large, taking a full twelve minutes to traverse the longest highway in the fastest car in the game, so there are lots of places to explore.
The controls could be better. This is one of the game's failings, as quite often the movement of the character when on foot can appear sluggish and unresponsive. As far as driving goes, once again, could be better, but a good try nonetheless. The extra 'power-ups' you can earn for your car make it interesting, but being able to flip your car onto two wheels without the aid of a ramp borders on unrealistic.
The fighting parts of the game can become frustrating at times. Some opponents have moves that you can't block, which they keep repeating, therefore preventing you from ever standing up. Quite often, it's best to just abandon any kind of strategy and just keep hammering the punch and kick buttons, hoping for the best. That being said, the 'power-ups' for fighting are entertaining, and a certain satisfaction can be taken in managing to perform such a move.
The storyline has three endings, one poor, one average, and one good. You can achieve all three with one save file, but which one you achieve first depends on which mission route you take throughout the game. At times I found it difficult to get into the story, but other times I couldn't stop playing because I wanted to find out what happened next. However, all other efforts at realism in the game are overshadowed by the storyline late on in the game. A 300-year-old man who can summon demons and dragons to fight against you is a little on the wild side, don't you think?
Playing the role of a cop instead of a criminal was a refreshing change. The ability to flash your badge and fire warning shots when faced with hardened criminals was a nice touch, adding to the authentic feel of playing such a role.
Overall, a very good attempt, with just a few small points letting it down. If you've done Vice City, give this a try, if only to fight on the other side of the law for once.

This game is great, it has great graphics and the story line is good. There is only one problem with the game and that is that all the crimes that you have to solve whilst driving around are pretty similar. The same crimes are repeated over and over eg. you have to stop a street race at least 6 times. the game in the mission department are good, because if all you want to do is just drive around killing people and arresting and frisking then you can. If you want to just get on with the missions and unlock all the cars (which are great) then you can. I found that it got too repeatative for my liking and so got bored very quickly, But if you ever wanted to be one of the cops on Vice City then here is your chance.
