| Crime makes the perfect game. | | Kevin Linsteadt from Concord, North Carolina, USA says (10/Nov/2003): | Dear Gamers,
You all should get this game. It is totally realistic and is the perfect action/shooter game for your needs. Lots of crimes, fighting, shooting, drug dealing, mugging and much much more! You must buy this game. If you all love GTA 3 or Vice City, then you all are gonna absolutely love this game. Its a game that I would just die for to get. If you're a hardcore gamer who just loves action and not all those boring racing and kiddy adventure games, then get this one. Its already out in a store near you, so what are ya waitin for? Go and grab yourself a copy of True Crime: Streets of LA and play it! True Crime. True Fighting. True Shooting. True Fun!
| This IS AWSOME | | Greg from courntryside IL usa says (20/Nov/2003): | I played this game it ROCKS!! it only took me 2 days tho. I say iTS WAY better than the gta's! I think iT has to be the best game ever by Far! The cars are pimpinG! the moves rock id defnatly buy it again and again! And it's really hard to imprees me with a action game! And the city rules!
| Not bad, but it's no Grand Theft Auto | | Jeff C. from Grand Island, USA says (8/Feb/2004): | I was initially impressed with the game. It reminded me a lot of the Grand Theft Auto games and looked a lot like them as well.
I liked the idea in the driving missions of not having to get to your destination right away. You can drive around town for the next 12 hours if you wanted to, busting people, solving random crimes, or going to one of the 24/7 upgrade sites to up your weapons, fighting skills, or driving skills. The other thing about this game that is better than the GTA games is that there is more hand to hand fighting, plus stealth missions where you have to sneak into places without being seen. Very cool!
Also, the city is a lot more massive. This , unfortunately, is a double-edged sword. You get a lot more city, but it seems, a lot less intimate space.(ex. I was trying to run behind houses and buildings only to find out there is no way back there!!) GTA games in my mind are still a bit better , because of the extra missions which are a lot more fun than this game. And the main thing that still keeps GTA on top over True Crime is the freedom to do missions in a more random order. True Crime has too much of a linear story line. Rating: 8 out of 10
| This game is F***in great | | Ecsurfer from Wilmington N.C U.S says (9/Dec/2003): | This is my favorite game for my gamecube, the cars are great and all of the gun and fighting upgrades are cool, i like the slo-mo bullet time, kinda like max payne, and most of the missions are pretty fun, one of my only problems is the soundtrack, its not very long and there is not much variety, i dont think that it is fair to compare this game to vice city, but u can compare it to gta3, i like the graphics, but i wish u could go into buildings, and, i like the gameplay, b/c the idea of being on the other side of the law is a nice change from all of the gta games, that also makes the game CONCEPT original, the game itself is not that original, the game is definitly fun, and it is definitly worth renting if not buying, the dual 50. cal handguns will f anyone up. I like the driving aspect, because it is like a sick crazy taxi, u can hit people and do drive-by's and if u get in enough wrecks u will either die or your car will die,but if u like a good, solid 3rd person shooter and if u liked GTA3 then u should look into this game
| Awesome! | | Roy from New York City says (21/Mar/2004): | True Crime is a great game. The graphics are ok. The controls may take a little while to use. The sound all right. The fun factor is through the roof. It may be similar to Vice City but there are major differences. For example, you're a cop, not a criminal. The branching story lines and alternate missions are good. The final battles are tough if you haven't gone to dojos to improve your skills. There are also driving courses and shooting ranges to get new guns and vehicles. The shooting in the game is great. You can search people on the streets for guns or illegal weapons then slap cuffs on them if they do. You can blow up cars by shooting at the gas tank. Be careful that you don't kill to many innocent people or the SWAT team will take you out. The city is huge! you can see several land marks through LA in the game. The stealth missions are one of the best. You can knock them out with a judo chop or you can break their neck. You also have a tranquilizer but it only has three rounds. If you have gun certain upgrades the precision aim mode will let you see if your aiming for a lethal (to the head) or non lethal shot (to the limbs). It also works for cars. The lethal shot is the gas tank and the non lethal shot is the tires. Adding special features to your gun like a laser sight and flashlight will come in handy. A very well done game and one of my favorites.
| This game is great! | | Darren Nicholas from Norwich, England says (23/Nov/2003): | This game is soooooooo much better than all of the grand theft autos. It shows the crime scenes from another perspective. I love the 1 on 1 fighting, I think it is fantastic. The only problem is I completed it in about 5 hours! I couldnt stop playing it! I would reccommend it to anyone who is a fan of action games.
| All round great game! | | Steven S from England, Bedfordshire says (23/Nov/2003): | Come on, how good is it to have your name on your number plate!
Nice touch that im sure many other games will copy. Shooting the exhausts of cars to make them blow is wicked and the graphics of the explosions are the best ive ever seen in a PS2 game.
Shooting from your car in slow motion is a great touch too. You can actually get some 1 behind you by using a handbrake turn and at the same time shooting in slow motion. Just like Mission Imposible 2 on the motorbike. Aiming for their heads in the cars to kill them instantly, realisticly.
better than GTA slightly. Graphics are great, sound and music is the best it could be. Only problem is its a bit short, but you will be playing it over and over again anyways.
Alot of detail has been taken to name every street you go on, how cool is that?
Shooting criminals in the legs is what gets you a good rating otherwise running them down or shooting them in the head would get you a bad cop rating. But trying each out is good fun. But killing too many innocent people will get you taken down by SWAT teams. So watch your step.
This game is everything of GTA status and more. More meaning kung fu, slow motion diving and shooting, 2 different weapons in each hand, real cars (like a Ferrari F50, Dodge Viper or BMW) nice hand 2 hand combat, cool soundtrack with hiphop and rock tunes and some classics, that will leave you not wanting to get out of your car! Also some great tunes that get you going when you are in some important fights, like N.E.R.D - rockstar and lapdance.
Get this game, dont rent it. It saves you a expensive trip to LA and saves you from going to jail!
True Crime is as true as crime gets!
| tight @ss game | | Matt from New jersey,usa says (25/Jan/2004): | true crime is awsome, its a good game becuase its not like GTA vice city all games are like that so it cool to have something different.i defenetly think its worth buying. some peolpe dont like it cuz they think gta is the greatest, vice city is a good game but again its cool to have something diferent. the cars are better in true crime the graphecs are better then most games. who ever dont like it suck a huge hairy $#< remove me > at !!..its the coolest game ive played beside vice city. if you dont have it you defenetly should buy it. when i first bought it i didnt like it then i got used to it and now i think it is the coolest game.
| Its a Great Game | | A gamer from Quebec, Canada says (9/Nov/2003): | True Crime is said to be better than GTA but I would consider it to be about the same. They're both very fun and exciting. Although, True Crime has much better graphics. The storyline is also very fun and the map of LA is very realistic. It seems very similar to the real map. Since the map is so big, it can get somewhat comfusing. Overall, I would consider this game a "must have."
| much better than gta | | A gamer from amsterdam, holland says (12/Nov/2003): | i've bought the game yesterday and i've played the hole night.
i was a big gta fan but this is much better. great graphics and a real gameplay
it's not a difficult gameplay. but every time i play the game the story changed cause when you are a good cop than the peaple likes u than when u are a bad cop. i hope for the american peaple that they can understand me. cause live in europe. and i can speak englisch bur writing is more difficult
thank u for reading this
| Exactly How They Describe It On the Commercial | | Paully Morriardi from (Woodside)Queens,New York says (7/Feb/2004): | Man Is this a fun game. I thought this would be better than GTA Vice City, and sure enough it delivered.Alright so your a cop in L.A (By the way this game looks and feels like L.A.)You have to go on missions which you dont even half to do.Your the good guy which I think its more fun to bust people with guns and illegal drugs than be a criminal which can get boring.The physics were great.The car wrecks are more real than on GTA VC.The cars are all fast and off the hook.There is so many different parts of L.A. that I don't even no the first one.To get around quick you can get on a highway which is my favorite part of the game.Your guy is half chineese and half itallian and you gotta do a whole case wich your trying to solve wich is dealing with the triads.The fighting system is off the hook in this game.nothing is bad about this game at all.I just hope next year they will make True Crime Streets of NYC,(Brooklyn,Queens,Man Hattan as they down south) or where ever. Besides if they make it in New York it will be better because there could be the Mafia and big riot fights between Purte Ricans and Blacks.Heck theres even Chineese in New York.Anyways hope this helps,"Paully"(King of Queens)
| yeah! Dis Game Was F****n' Phat!!! | | michael wood (woody) from essex says (3/Jan/2004): | hi. im michael wood from essex. some of my mates told me about the game bfore crimbo, and they described it as an action packed thriller of a game. So... I asked my wonderful mumsie and daddykins to provide me with this hero of a shootemup. they did and F****n' Hell! its F****** good! better than vice city, james bond, and splinter cell. the best part is when youre in a car chasing some wanker in an ambulance called the $#< remove me > at !in vampire of hollywood or somfing and you pump a dozen shots of lead up his fuel tank and blow the mutha fukka into hell! neway hi 2 neone at deanes school, and specialy to ne one in year 10, and good luck in the language mock exams!
| true crime | | games ancestor from derbyshire england says (24/Apr/2004): | the game vurtually about average. but there are qwite a few that things that could do with changing. the sh*** mony the crappy sheild thingys really suck the person who thought of that is stupid and dumb(a lot of affense). but really i dont think any gta is better than this game. the drivings ok but the game isnt that realistic but the one thing i really like is the shooting and slow mo dives the gameplay is ok but this game is a lot of entertainment while it lasts so overall this game is about average id say
| GREAT GAME...THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE STUPID!! | | Baby Mark from Springfield MO says (27/Dec/2003): | I think it is a great game, these idiots on here who think otherwise probably are getting their ass kicked in the game, and have no sense of competition. GREAT GAME!! The fighting is cool, the gun selection is good and there is nothing wrong with the driving. The graphics are also better than I expected them to be, and the challenges are just that, a challenge, but not an unreasonable challenge....so far anyway. I really like the assault rifles and machine guns. The cheats help with some of the fighting techniques and guns available, but the rest is up to you.
| Awsome,but could of been better. | | vinny roberto from New york[city] America says (29/Dec/2003): | I think this game was pretty cool!But it could of been better,because it was way to short,could only stock up on two guns at a time,and you couldnt start the game out on the streets,and save your favorite car in a garage.but all in all the fighting was cool,the guns rocked cus you culd use an ak-47 and a uzi at the same time,cars were ok,and it was preety cool that you could search a person for drugs or illegal wepons and arrest them for having them,and get credit.so I think the game is awsome but, not one of the best.
| Great Fun, But it Could Have Been Much Better | | Graeme from Perth, Australia says (23/Nov/2003): | True Crime the streets of LA is the best Driving Action Adventure game on any console. It is much better than the GTA and The Getaway games as it is set in a massive real life city and the fighting and shooting missions are second to none. The graphics are top notch and the city itself has been very well created. In saying this I was very dissapointed with the driving
segments as there are not enough cars either on the roads or to drive and the controls are terrible. This game could have been a
whole lot better than it is but it is still great fun and a good
game. I was also upset by the fact that there were no real businesses in the game and I would have liked to have at least seen a McDonalds or a KFC store on the LA streets as they are American icons. The game also appears to be un finished and the constant slow down whilst driving is very frustrating and in some parts of the city their are terrible glitches. All in all I
think this is a good game go out and buy it but it wasn't as great as I was expecting it to be. The Snoop Dog mission at the completion of the game is great fun but I think that Driver 3 is
the game that everyone should be waiting for, I think and hope that it will be awesome.
| vice city, getaway, matrix, grand turismo all in 1! wot more do u want | | Ziad Alazhar from England,Bournemouth(Southbourne) says (6/Dec/2003): | Any body out there looking for a good game to get, dont get this one because it isnt good......its AMAZING!You can upgrade wepons, moves and even your own car!
matrix:the slow-mo shooting moves
vice city:effects (true crime effects are better though!)
getaway:story line
grand turismo:cars
you play as nick kang, a suspended police cop but then the L.A chief decides to bring you back as E.O.D agent.
the only way to realy get into the game is by buying it! so many of my mates have rented it and disliked it, but once i finnaly got them to buy it they LOVED IT!
| houston we have a problem, a new generation of game has landed! | | Michael Burridge from england, pooole (dorset) says (12/Dec/2003): | this game is the greatest! i enjoy the cruisin the most, i spent the last 10 days just cruisin an havin fun!. it is a summary of:
getaway: the missions and area graphics.
grand theft auto: for the weapons.
matrix: for the fightin moves.
gran turismo: for the cars.
by far i agree with my good friend ziad alazhar and say this game is the greatest!
it is really the best! everyone who likes unprovoked violence then spend spend spend and buy buy buy! and dont forget 2 buy! and by the way, any one who doesnt like it can give the game to me and i will happily supply it to a loving game lover!
| True Crime is a True Treasure | | Brad Felizardo from Luanda, Angola says (21/Feb/2004): | _ Graphics _
I got both GTA3 and GTA Vice City, Getaway and True Crime, and when it comes to graphics i even laugh sometimes. On Vice City the graphics really suck, you all know, c'mon, everybody has a 3d-fish-face and the cars look like toys. On True Crime you'll find real well made hookers, everybody walks well (Vice City hookers are like retards, and every body walk like retards too). The cars are like Getaway ones, they look like real ones, better than the cars from Vice (just 5 kind of cars or something on Vice City? Even that Inferno model is popular! How sad...). The city is big, on the map you can't see all the roads because the city is bigger than that. Some dumb < remove me > at ss scrubs around the internet hate guys like Nick, because they're nothing, guys who are nothin' allways hate guys like that (and what's funny is that guys who are nothing allways think they're somethin'! lol). The city changes from day to night (best night ever! Just look at the asphalt, the lights, etc.), you go to clubs with the best look of a 3D guy ever, and you see the best 3D hookers/girls and cars ever too, etc.
_ Gameplay_
From real tailing simulation to slow-motion matrix like action on streets and indoor places. (I never saw nothing like that, Geatway's and Vice City's tailing is, well, fantasy! Just a blind guy can't see somebody's following him!). And, just to make the game more hot, amazing fighting simulation, just grapples suck, the rest is kool, not perfect, but kool. Master the fighting feature and then you'll start talking good things about it. The guns are the best ever, with slow-mo you can feel how great they are. And don't think True Crime is just that! When you progress and make upgrades you'll earn new features of the game! Like new attack moves, boost, nitro, two-weels riding, flashlights, etc. Some people says the car from True Crime has bad handling! I'm surprised with that because True Crime has many and many cars, and that one isn't the only car of Nick. You can drive from trucks to diablo-like cars, etc. And, if those people think the cars have bad handling i think they are the ones who CAN'T HANDLE the cars, maybe they aren't used to the left-analog stick, so, please, go learn how to manage the left-analog stick and then you can make a review! Some people says the game is short! Well, maybe they just went to one ending, True Crime has 3 endings, the game is big, all of them with different missions, you make different missions to go to other endings, you don't repeat the same missions to see another ending, and, man, those missions are the best ever. You even fight zombies on this game. Some kids can't understand the story, but of course!, you think this is a game of stealing and trading drugs or something? This is a case of a cop, it's complex, some guys who are used to do and learn/watch more simple, useless and banal things can't understand the history.
_ Sounds _
Wonderful voices of well developed characters like thaboss, the guy from FBI, Rose, Nick, i mean, all the guys! They all sound like themselves, they all sound fine, even the people from the streets. And, i guess you won't miss too much the Vice City Radio (the only thing i miss on Vice City) because here we have more than 30 music tracks (i think they are more, much more), kool hip hop that gives to the game an amazing and well balanced style, rock (sooner or later you'll start to feel the rock on the game too), and much more! I love all the sound waves of all the events, and, Snoop Dogg's voices was really a kool thing on the game, playing with him is kool. I love that sound when you knock somebody, kool when it's followed by the word "Sh*t!" from the victim.
_ Lifespawn _
On games like Vice City you're a guy who just goes here and there, a guy without life stealling, etc. But on True Crime you got a life, and you have things to do, you solve many crimes around LA. It's cool, i never get tired of those optional missions, although my Bad/Good cop rating is +99 already, and i already made all upgrades, but i still bust some bad guys. Some people say they are just 4 or something, it's completely wrong, they are more than 20 i think, when you progress through normal missions they add more new optional missions, and guess what? Just one optional mission again and again isn't boring, for example, a street fight, that's good to keep u up when it comes to fight, a street fight may occur any time, and of course, between any citizen! Now come to think of it, is that boring? I don't think so, you may see two b*tches fighting (watch out! The hookers and cel ladies really kick butt on this game), this and that guy fighting because of something, and they may have different reactions. Just the street fight isn't boring, now think about the rest? Chasing a guy who stole an ambulance, i guy who's trying to get that beautiful ferrari like car, he may have a gun or not, may surrender or not, c'mon, these are the situations we allways wanted!
The city is big, very big, and playing with Snoop Dogg is kool too, you can't see all the roads on the map, you'll notice that the city of angels is bigger than you think when you look at the map, and think about those really handsome and kool cars around the town, c'mon, you all know this game is the best, you'll never get tired of this game so, fight to get it!
_ Comparison _
Oh c'mon people, sometimes we need to respect, do you want to compare the beautiful and well made Rose with that 3D-fish-face Mercedes?!?! Just compare that toy-like-Vercetti (with baby punches... lol!) with Nick Kang, a cop with an unique style (just pay attention to how he stands holding one gun. Yes, and he kicks ass, like yours). C'mon, you all know this game is thabest. The only better things on Vice are some complex like buildings, riding bikes (but they are just 4 or something, how poor), and riding boats is a bit cool too, on Getaway the emotions of Mark Hammond are quite well, but he sounds like a retard, a guy with mental problems, and he does have mental problems. Now, i got to make some warnings:
Tommy Vercetti (GTA) - If i see this guy around L.A, he's done and will be busted!!!
Mark Hammond (Getaway) - this poor guy thinks he can destroy the world! Oh... how poor... and just to get his kid back from the guy who killed his wife and now is his boss! Hahaha, but ok, i Nick Kang doesn't need to chase this poor guy, sooner or later he'll die anyway...
Tanner (Driver) - Ha, i'm waiting! You must show to me who's the best cop! You're a pro on this! The last thing i want, to be able to make the last conclusions: Driv3r. PS: Tanner, and don't forget to bring some girls and sweet rides with you!
_ Suggestions _
Activision, you made a great shot, guys like the ones from Rockstar learned a good lesson of how this kind of game should be. But, of course, i hope on the next versions of True Crime, the following comes:
Bikes; More interactive features (we should at last be able to take a walk with those girls with us, in the car); More "complex places" on the city, like places where we can get in, warehouses, etc.(Those drowsy Team Soho guys didn't make that, Free Roam mode sucks, and you should do that then); We should be able to turn off some upgrades, the guns look like toys with those scoops; and Activision should spend more dedication to the additional secret characters, they all sound like Nick, that's really bad, at last Rose should have her own sound waves, etc. And please, don't change the persons, they must be Nick and Rose again, with more cooperation, many freaks, scrubs and losers need to see Nick in action again!
