Well, to say the least this game was a disappointment. I was really anxious to play this game. The game plays out like a corny and cheap action movie. You are Nick Kang, you’re mother was killed as a child and your father disappeared, now you are a sarcastic and reckless adult. You have an outstanding criminal record but you are the best person when it comes to clutch decisions. The chief of a new branch of LAPD law enforcement recruits you to be the first field agent. You then have to fight chinese and russian gangs and clean up the streets of LA. Well I like the game’s concept but they delivered it really poorly. There are 3 main parts of the game, driving, shooting and fighting. The driving is pretty cool because you get to ride and cruise around in a very well recreated LA. The shooting is ok although you don’t run out of ammo, which in a way is a good thing for people who like the games to be easy. The fighting is pretty cheesy though you only have 4 types of moves, the punchm low kick, jumping kick, and grapple moves. Outside of the storyline you have petty street crimes to deal with. I felt these to be kind’ve challenging, mainly because of the good cop bad cop thing. If you beat the person unconscious and then handcuff them you get a good cop rating but if you kill them you get a bad cop rating. I was trying to get a good cop rating by instead of deliberately kiling them I shot them in the leg to injure them or slow them down, well it did neither. The person kept on running at the same speed or it took a bullet in the leg to kill them. You will also find Nick saying some pretty stupid lines such as “You have the right to soak in your own urine” and things like that, they all got to be pretty annoying. Although I liked the concept of the game, I felt they executed and developed it quite poorly.

My high expectations for this game were shattered after I played it. This game does not boast any positive aspects that I can think of, therefore I will mention the cons. First off, the car physics are atrocious. Or better yet I should deduce that there are no car physics. It seems like the developers spent no time trying to make this feel realistic. Taking corners doesn’t have a solid or natural feel. The car usually turns too sharply. The fighting is equally lack luster and repetitive. When I say repetive, people that are reading this and have played the game are nodding their heads in agreement, because repetitive is the perfect word to describe the fighting. You’ll press a couple buttons, maybe you’ll have a gun at times, but it never induces a feeling of fun. I found myself randomly pressing buttons just waiting for the adversaries to die. When you want the game to end after a half hour of playing, it means it’s time to hand the control to some unsuspecting victim and get away while you can. Luckily I played this game at my friend’s house. And he was borrowing it from another friend, so neither of us had any money deficits to complain about. Dropping $50 on a game like this would be unfortunate. I truthfully cannot recommend this game to anyone. I would not even recommend it to my worst enemies because playing this game is too harsh of a punishment. If you want to see how bad it is you are free to rent it, just be aware of how much fun you are not going to have.

On the X-Box or PS2 I could see where this game could be bearable. The PC version is quite a different story. There is no support for a game pad or joystick, so the only options are keyboard and mouse. The huge map, large assortment of cars and plot mean nothing if you can’t control the character or his vehicle.I have never seen controls in a game this lethargic. If you derive some kind of joy from knocking over trees, street lights, sign posts, newspaper stands and parking meters, this is the game for you. Not to worry, on a straightaway the sensitivity returns ensuring your course is as predictable as the lottery. The camera angles seem specifically design to ignore the subject of importance. Sometimes while apprehending a suspect for no apparent reason, the camera will relocate on the other side of a building. During the timed martial arts progression tests, half the time is spent scrolling the lazy (at full sensitivity) camera to look at the target and align the character. It’s not a contest of skill, but a struggle with technical ineptness.As for any bugs I have had multiple crashes, from menus locking up to sound loops. My system is fully of capable of playing Doom3, Far Cry and Star Wars Galaxies, so I can assure you it falls well within the basic hardware requirements as well as the latest drivers and direct-x. It’s a shame, the game looks good, has a bit of freedom to do side missions etc. If it was playable, I’d be playing it. To sum it all up, it’s a good game idea, wrapped in technically flawed garbage.

True Crime was the game back in Fall 2003 which everyone believed to be the next GTA clone. Truth is, the driving in this game feels familiar if you’ve been playing GTA3 and Vice City to death. The story of the game puts you, the player, as Nick Kang–a cop whose main job in the game is to bust and kill, and to solve his father’s murder. The good cop/bad cop meter is one of those factors that keep True Crime and the GTA games separate. This also makes way for alternate endings. You don’t get the same ending as a good cop if you’re a bad one.LA is so huge–free-roaming in over 200 square miles also never gets old. You can learn to fight people John Woo style and take people as human shields. Arresting criminals raises your good cop meter–and killing them raises your bad cop meter.Mission after mission, True Crime keeps going like no other game. The game’s strong point is its branching storyline–and added to which, if you don’t like rap music–you’re going to outright despise the game’s soundtrack. The voice acting is better than expected, and the graphics are incredibly realistic and smooth as silk.To set things straight, there are no motorcycles, no helicopters and certainly no speedboats. If you can learn to accept the fact that LA isn’t the same as Vice City or Liberty City, there is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy True Crime: Streets of LA.

It’s obvious that a lot of this game was inspired by the success of the Grand Theft Auto games. It’s also obvious that a lot of work went into the game. Yet somehow, it still falls short of the games it tries to surpass.The graphics in this game seem a bit cleaner than Vice City.. There’s no blurry movements, there’s no slowdown, the character models look impressive. The car models are somewhat lacking in detail, until you smash them up. Seems they gain more character when they’re nearly on fire.The sound in the game is quite good. Character voices are well done, and while I’m not a fan of the soundtrack, the music fits the theme of the game. The speech of people on the street when you run past them, pull out your guns, or punch them in the face is entertaining, and takes a while to get boring. The downside to the sound, however, is some of the main character’s dialogue becomes repetetive and boring somewhat quickly.The gameplay is an interesting side of the game. If you play through the story mode, you can get bored somewhat quickly. The real fun of the game is playing with friends, “borrowing” cars, and causing trouble.

To anyone who thought that GTA 3 was revolutionary, but was disappointed with the Vice City’s emphasis on gimmicks and movies over gameplay, and the Getaways lack of any useful Navigation system, this game is for you. Out of all the GTA type games out there (GTA 3, True Crime, GTA Vice City, Simpsons Hit and Run, and The Getaway), this is definitely the second best game on that list.This game starts off with a huge part of L.A. While not a replica of the city (like the Getaway is with London), it has all the streets, parks, landmarks and freeways of the LA area. When I mean huge, I mean huge. While on an uncongested freeway, burning rubber, it still takes a considerable amount of time to get from one side of the map to other. The city map is a little too vague, but the on screen map in intuitive, and more importantly, street names are presented on screen, so you’ll know if you’re on Santa Monica Blvd or if you’re on Highway 405. Also, the cars handle really well, the traffic is sparse and smart, and with your customized music, it’s a joy to just zoom around.This brings up the music portion. It’s almost all rap, with a few heavy metal songs filled in. I’m not talking just some no name artists (but most of them are), but there is also major names, like Snoop Dogg, Warren G., N.E.R.D, and heck, I think there is MegaDeath as well. All the music is made to fit the atmosphere. The best part is, it’s customizable. There are three different sections for three different types of gameplay (cruisin’, slow action, fast action), each with about 15 unique songs each to play or not play. Simply amazing – I would say over 40 songs. The only problem is that you can’t mix one type of music (e.g. slow action) with another type (e.g. cruisin’). So while I like the N.E.R.D song “LapDance”, I can only hear it in certain situations.Now to the gameplay. There are three basic types of missions – outdoor ones involving driving through the city, indoor one with gunfire, and indoor ones with martial arts fighting. All of these missions are short, so there is not much repeating or backtracking. The outdoor ones are the ones where it shines. The city is immense. Unfortunately, the missions do tend to be on the easy side, and are either tailing, racing, escaping, or just get to a destination. The indoor ones are not quite as fun, but the auto-aiming combined with bullet time movement makes it enjoyable, despite the camera conspiring against you. The fighting is slightly more annoying, as it is more button mashing than anything else, but again, it’s doable. I hate all fighting games, so to me, it was the weakest type of mission.The missions are combined into episodes. Each episode has six to eight missions, and there are eight missions to get to the best ending. There are two alternative endings that branch off, giving a grand total of 12 episodes in all. The best part is that all the missions are straight forward. You don’t have to look into guidebooks or ask your friends for special tricks to beat any of these missions. Even so, beating all the missions are not required, so if there are some missions that are annoying or hard, you can skip them. This might result in alternative missions or missing some other missions altogether. Either way, you’re never stuck.There are also side mission you can do to upgrade your skills, or you can search random people on the street, or stop crimes and run down common criminals.The only problem I have is one episode where it detracts from any sort of realism and where you fight demons, zombies, and dragons. A couple of these missions were extremely repetitive and so badly designed that it almost made me lose respect for this game.All in all, it’s a fantastic, immense, and polished game that I can’t recommend highly enough.Pros:Huge cityMusicCustomization of musicGraphicsNothing too difficultNo gimmicks, guidebooks neededCons:Dragons and demons missionsToo many indoor missionsFighting was pretty lameCamera angle is bad in tight spacesDifficulty Level: Easy/MediumFrustration Level: LowHours to Complete (100% of all episodes, all endings): 20 hours

This game WILL NOT be another Grand Theft Auto spinoff, mainly because it’s from a different perspective, and it’s a perspective that GTA (Grand Theft Auto) would never go to, you play as an officer of the law, that’s right, a cop, a pig, the fuzz, the filth, whatever you want to call it, you’re a police officer. Sure, there’s still a lot to do with crime, and you steal cars, there’s hand-to-hand combat, and there’s drive-by shooting, but you’re still on the “good side”. Another valid point is that this game takes place in an actual city; not a make-believe city like Grand Theft Auto. This city is so photorealistic that it would actually help ou get around if you bought a map of Los Angeles so that you know where you’re going. This is the second game to do that… the first, as you should all remember is The Getaway… wasn’t that an awesome game? Ok, anyway, BUY THIS GAME… YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
