True Crime: Streets of LA has been compared to the Grand Theft Auto series, but in reality, this game couldn’t be farther from it. True Crime doesn’t break any new barriers with its gameplay, but it does offer some unique options. The best part of the game, in my opinion, are the optional street crimes that can be solved while rebel cop Nick Kang is cruising around the streets of LA. These crimes offer the most options involved in the game’s often muddled and routine missions. Nick Kang himself doesn’t offer the true badass image the game wants him to have, which hurts this type of game. The story itself is the weakest part of the game. It’s so confusing that by the fourth mission, I really had no idea what was going on, nor did I care. The ability to skip certain missions and have it affect the ending of the game is a great concept, but it’s unfortunate it’s wasted in this mess. True Crime: Streets of LA offers great abilities in the often routine gaming experience of shoot ’em up storytellers, but in the end, falls short.

I received the game on time but the disc was rattling in the case. I put the game in the PS2 console and it does not work. I cleaned it and it still does not work. There is on a slight scratch on the game and it should work but the console said it can not be read. Sucks!!

At a first glance, True Crime: Streets of LA is just another GTA clone. But when you actually get into playing it, it becomes a LOT different, and a lot more interactive.As Nick Kang, your job is an LA flatfoot with a short fuse. Your antics have gotten you in trouble more than once, and currently you’ve been suspended. But, the police chief decides to give you a second chance by admitting you into the Elite Operations Division (EOD) to try to crack down on a major threat the Chinese Triads have forced upon your city.Like GTA, you can “steal” any car you want to drive. The only difference is that as a police officer, you’re just commandeering them. But as you progress though the game, you learn driving techniques, such as quick turnarounds, nitro boost, and even riding on two wheels.The shooting system is a bit far-fetched, but works out fairly well. Your basic handguns (because Nick likes to shoot with two) have unlimited shots. They do, however, have a number of rounds in the chamber, so you will have to reload them once in a while. You can pick up other weapons, including Kalashnikov assault rifles, SPAS shotguns, and .45 revolvers, but those guns DO have an ammo limit. In addition to just your normal target-and-fire abilities, you can learn different types of attacks by visiting shooting ranges.Last but least, Nick is also a martial-arts master. When trying to apprehend suspects, you can use your kung-fu to take them down instead of shooting them (which can get you into trouble). As you visit more dojo locations, you learn more combos and special attacks that can help you kick your enemies to the pavement.The story is very rich, with an interesting cast of characters, and very good voiceovers. There’s an aire of maturity of a good shoot-em-up action film, plus a lot of comedy throughout. You get to explore the entirity of Los Angeles in full detail, from the ratty subdivisions to the high towers of the downtown district, even all the way up to Hollywood and Beverly Hills.A few drawbacks do exist, though. Seems like the missions always involve the same premise, but just get a bit more difficult each time you do them. More mission diversity would’ve been nice. Also, crime happens EVERYWHERE, even as you’re just standing around outside of your car. These crimes are optional to do, but they can be distracting when you’re trying to get from one place to another. And the soundtrack is almost completely west-coast rap. I’m not a big fan of rap myself (I’m more partial to heavy metal or rock), so I turned the radio off. Kind of gets weird when you don’t hear anything while you’re driving around.Overall, this gets an 8 of 10. It’s fun, it’s well designed, and it’ll keep you entertained. I recommend a rental before you buy, though. Some people who are GTA fans may not like it.

First of all, since I live in Los Angeles, let me explain something to everyone that is playing this game all over the world: the ONLY way that this game slightly resembles L.A. is with its street names and freeway numbers – that is IT. It looks NOTHING like LA, feels NOTHING like LA, and 90% of this game is still completely made up. Yes, that’s right. Anyone (and I mean ANYONE) who actually lives here knows exactly what I’m talking about. No traffic – are you kidding me? The creators of this game must live in Ohio somewhere. Street signs completely wrong half the time. Everyone, even tourists know that after Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood the next street up North is Sunset Blvd, not whatever they put in this game.The soundtrack is probably the worst one of all video games ever created. Nothing but rap. Dialogs are extremely cheesy and stupid. The game is VERY short. The controls are aweful. One word that would also describe this nonsense of a game is BORING.Let’s face it people: GTA Vice City will NEVER be beaten. I don’t care how many times other developers try to mess with it, it will not happen. VICE CITY FOREVER.Bottom Line: if you have GTA expectations, or if you were a fan of Vice City, do yourself a favor and do NOT buy this game. Waste of money.

It’s an okay game. I compare it to Grand Theft, but unlike GTA there is nothing but rap music in the game. So for the more aware part of the human population, you will get sick of hearing the repetitive music. But hey, for you mindless-trend followers, you will be in heaven. The game play is like Grand Theft, but you have way more, and more brutal fighting moves. The game lay out is of the 300 square miles of LA California, but most of it looks the same. So it is hard to recognize where you are, or where you have been. The game has a random crime generator, which can be fun. It just get’s annoying breaking up the same types of crimes over and over again. After a while you just end up shooting the criminals, because how many times can you really break up a fight? In all it’s a good game. More music options would have been nice. It’s worth $20.
