Not GTA, but it’s more than ok

This is definitely one solid title to get your hands on if you are looking for something a little different than GTA. This time, you’re the law and you’re doing your best to not break it. But, there are a lot of things that came from this game that GTA has included or other games from RockStar, including solving crimes to increase your stats, and interrogation. This is a must-have for your Open-world game collection.

Short but pleasant ride

What makes this game go from average to good is the plot. The gameplay itself isn’t that great. The controls are difficult with moves being tough to pull off and the driving is pretty sluggish. Both these problems were fixed by the sequel True Crime: New York City. Which is the stronger and moreentertaining game. This is fairly short and I was hoping that wouldn’t be all there is to it when it ended.This is an open-world game mixed in with some John Woo type action. Some gunplay and even a dojo to learn extra martial arts moves. It did have some charm that pulled me in and I found myself actually having fun despite the downfalls. While it isn’t as necessarily as good as the GTA games, it’s still a fun ride playing the role of a detective. You can’t really enter buildings or anything and the city looks pretty much the same throughout the world. A lot of product placement is here in all its glory.It’s worth a shot to play but it’s way too short. I beat the game in less than 10 hours.

Cool open- world game

True Crime Streets Of LA is an open-world type of Grand Theft Auto game.You play as an LA cop,who fights and shoots his way through bad guys.There is a storyline you can play through,including optional alternate missions within the storyline.Plus,you can go around LA responing to crimes and stopping gang members,thieves,muggers,and other types of criminals.You can either be a good cop,by just slapping the cuffs on them,or be a bad cop,by blowing them away.The choice is yours.You can also upgrade your martial arts fighting skills,by training in the dojo thats on the map.There are other places on the map that you can go to and interact with also.Such as target practicing…and more.These places must be unlocked by getting points,from stopping different crimes though.Snoop Dog can also be unlocked in this game,via a cheat code or by collecting all the dog bones on the map,to unlock the “dog patrol” missions.Overall,this game is very fun to play and I highly recommend it.

The protagonist is a little too wacky but acceptable.

The alternative routes and intros to the story is a welcome. Unlike the next title you cannot go into businesses and stores,plus only ONE compilation of music plays through the radio. If you don’t like rap/hip hop then prepare to suffer during driving sequences. I don’t mind that type of music but I love variety. Thank goodness it’s not like that in the next title!! Good for a laugh WITH the game instead of AT it as Nick Kang’s dialog is entertaining.

Very Good Game but probably not Vice City

True Crimes of LA is actually a pretty good game. You get to explore a much bigger city than in GTA: Vice City, but the stale gameplay and such can easily bring this game down a notch. While more realistic in everyway, True Crime can be considered one of the more innovative games of this time!First the graphics. The graphics in this game are ASTONISHING! They’re almost realistic in everyway! Surprisingly enough the game looks like REAL L.A. (with the exception of there not being much traffic.). So as far as eye-candy goes, True Crimes does a brilliant job here.Now the sound. Again, no mistakes here! Good sound overall, and you can’t go wrong here. Sound effects are great as well as the music. Again, you’re not going wrong. The only thing I can say is that if you don’t like Rap, you may not like the soundtrack as much.Gameplay is probably where te game begins to faulter. The game has a “Good Cop/Bad Cop” system which isn’t a bad idea. Should you do things the way a cop in real life would (i.e. you don’t kill those you capture, you only injure, you fire warning shots and only shoot people in the leg and such) then you’ll be considered a “Good Cop”. Do the complete opposite and you’re a “Bad Cop.” There is a meter that tells you on which side of the bar you fall on.Good Cop/Bad Cop isn’t too badly done, but it really brings down the difficulty level of this game. It’s fun to drive around but the game is so simple to keep to one side. If you see someone rob a bank you can easily just hit them with your car and not kill them, which results in you being a “Good Cop”. If you hit him and kill him, you’re a “Bad Cop”. This becomes simple gameplay should you approach it that way.What also makes gameplay simple is that you can choose to redo any failed missions. Clearly you could try them over and over again until the game is done with. BUT you could continue and leave mission failed. If you do this it effects future missions. Missions are very realistic. You can go undercover and hope you don’t blow it even. You can do various things that a cop would do. You can search them and see if you find drugs, weapons, etc. or you could flash your badge, which will result in a suspect running or something else.What’s not to like about the gameplay? Well, it’s too simple for one thing. I already talked about how you could hit a suspect with a car and not kill them, and this finishes missions easily. The other part is that you could easily complete missions without shooting (just knock them out). The auto-aim is very nice however.The other bad thing about the gamplay are those camera angles. You’ll find yourself constantly repositioning the camera just to see some of the action. Because of the camera you could be “jumped” and never know who did it, or get shot from behind.The game presents a branching story. The outcome depends on the missions you succeed in and whether or not you’re a “Good Cop” or a “Bad Cop”. There are tons of ways to go through the story but the final confrontation is the same. You “could” become a bad guy but it makes no difference.The story is actually more like something you’d see in an action movie. You’ve got your average jerky character (Nick Kang) who doesn’t want a partner and constantly refuses to work with his and goes at it alone. His father used to be a part of the LAPD but died working a case. Sound familiar? It should, and it’s full of chase scenes, one liners, and everything else you could want in an action movie.So while larger than Vice City by A LOT the game is actually fairly linear. The storyline is decent (although the main character takes a bit of time to like), the gameplay is nice and overall the game is pretty good.The Good:+Great graphics and sound!+Though quite linear, TONS of missions+Lots of weapons to choose from+Branching story+Multiple endings+HUGE City to exploreThe Bad-Main character is unlikeable at first-Annoying Camera Angles-Missions are too simpleThe game overall is pretty decent. You’ve got a lot of freedom to enjoy and a huge map to explore. A great experience.

Get Your Badge Out

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.

True Crime: Truly Worth the Time

I thought this game would be great and they didn’t let me down. It’s hard not to compare this to Grand Theft Auto for obvious reasons. It’s too bad the controls of different cars weren’t as smooth as GTA’s. Lots of times it feels like you’re sliding instead of rolling. The only other gripe I have is that stupid dragon boss fight. I didn’t see any sense in adding this “horror” feature to a “shooter” game. These two quirks prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Surprisingly, I did enjoy the fighting scenes. I stay away from fighting games because I am no good at them and they just don’t interest me, but this game made it easy. Although I did not learn all of the special finishing moves, the three I did know got me through it. Upgrading your fighting, driving, and shooting skills got tougher, but the challenge was fair.The city is HUGE, bigger than any other map I’ve played in a game, except maybe “The Getaway”. The side missions are endless, which gives it great replay value.Oh yeah, stay away from “No One Lives Forever” for Playstation 2 unless you plan on using the CD as a frisbee or a coaster.
