I agree with chaos effect and SEXPISTOLS |
| ßandit Keith from America says (26/May/2004): |
this game is so weak that people sit around on forums and talk about the really cool game "enhancing" glitches that plague this steaming pile of.... a game. Don't bother here, instead pick up the GTA3/Vice City bundle for the new low price, if you already have it and are looking for something new/ similar, LOOK ELSEWHERE, all of the people who I know personaly who spent their hard earn cash on this game were... miffed to say the least. If you insist on checking it out yourself, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!! In conclusion, I would rather stab needles in my eyes for an hour than to play 5 min. of this game. Oh look, they added vigilante in this game!!! Wow, thats going to change alot of the game isn't it??!? NOT. And I hate how these asses say that the game is "sweet" or "cool", well there're wrong, the game sucks, and you can't control the cars, they are probabley computer crack/warez pirates.
This game is a lump of $#< remove me > at !

dont be mad @me. |
| Goat from Eastport,NY says (26/Sep/2003): |
Dear gamers if you love GTA vice city you might like this game. from what i hear it's supposed to be even more Graphically realistic, then most GTA series. Some say that true crime:is action packed, very realistic, discriptive and informative. i rated this game a 10,because in felt like i was really in the streets of La shooting and arresting people. my personal opinion is if you like games where you can do whatever the fvck you want and not be limited to the scenario of the game then grab your badge, strap your vest on and get ready to do some goop anihalation to the dirty communist's.

As good as GTA, if not better |
| EIDROEDYR from Detroit, Michigan USA says (4/Nov/2003): |
This game is not hype, it is definitely as good as Grand Theft Auto. Actually, I think it is better because the story line has 3 different endings depending on the missions you choose or not choose to complete. Unlike GTA, your not stuck with completing specific missions needed to progress the game. Also, the hand-to-hand combat is sweeeeet!! You can upgrade your driving skills, weaponry skills, and fighting skills all in the same game. In addition, the cops as well as the citizens of LA can turn on you if you become one bad cop. The graphics are more realistic than GTA and the overall gameplay provides endless hours of gameplay and replayability. I never thought there would be anything as good as GTA until True Crime came along. Rockstar definitely have to up their game for the next title in the GTA series.

Bad rip off of GTA |
| Pules from Fort Lauderdale says (5/Nov/2003): |
This game is a bad copy of GTA and Dead to Rights. It's like playing the two games at the same time but has none of their good features. The large map is cool but it is way to big. It takes 10 minutes to drive across time. I finished the game in two sitting. That sucks I want to play for weeks like GTA. The soundtrack sucks and your weapon selection is very limited. Who wants to be the good guy? That is a horrible idea!! I want to get bonus points for running over civilians not deducted. It does have some cool features like flashing your badge to get people to surrended and the warning shoot button is cool. The cast of characters is great but wasted. Christopher Walkin should be in it more and Michelle Rodreguiez is no Jenna Jameson. It is a great rental but save your $60 you can do everything it has to offer in the 5 days Blockbuster gives you.

gc fans finally get a gta like game |
| Rob from Northport n.y. says (15/Nov/2003): |
this game is by far the best game i ever played.and the first realistic gta like game to come out for gc.gc single platform owners now what i am talking about we had to drool over our friends with ps2's gta3 and gta vice city . now we have our own finally, the wait was well worth it, the gamplay and graphics are awsome.there is a great variety of cars and guns. it also has an awsome sound track including snoop dog jay z and 50 cent.the streets of la are very accurate to the actual streets in la.streets of la really combines fighting and action both with fire fights and hand to hand combat.one of the best things about this game is that you can cruise around and aresst hookers fighting thugs serial killers bank robbers.the only thing i wasnt satisfied was the controll lay out on gc everything else was amazing.the graphics by far rae more realistic than any game in the gta series.nick's expressions are more kick ass also and cursing is more present than in all gtas .well well congradulations gc owners we have graduated pre school .all i can say about this game is yippeee . hopefully we will see more games like this on gc soon

one awsome game, coming from a non- hip-hop guy! |
| anthony from louisville, ky says (7/Dec/2003): |
I thought the game was a almost 10. Every thing about the game is cool, even if you dislike rap. It was shockingly kinda like GTAvc, but with a good twist. The fighting moves were impressive
comparing it to GTA'S. The only bad note I can say is that the game is to short. I did waste money renting it.....twice. I say it needs a part2. why not? IT IS A VERY COOL GAME. MABEY THEY COULD USE A LITTLE MORE ROCK MUSIC IN THE SEQUEL. BUY THIS GAME, WHEN IT GETS TO OLD, TRADE A FRIEND. The trade-in stores only give two dollars for it, but yet they resell it for $34.99.
They say,"try to be a good cop for a better ending!" It's not to easy when you try to stop two grand-ma's from fighting and Mr. Weiner RUNS YOU OVER IN A DODGE TRUCK AND AFTER YOU GET UP, OLD Mrs. doubtfire pull out a shotgun and BOOM! Thats cool, when you can get shot dead before you get a chance to pull out your guns. (THAT'S REALISTIC) The gang fight shoot outs is a plus, but be sure you dont hit any swat guys. I LOVE THIS GAME. And who better to narrate the story? christopher walken.The game is worth every penny. I hope no GTA fans go without atleast playing it. If they throw negative things at it before good, knock them out and steel thier car. Even the corney humor that the people say and do is funny. i give it a almost 10 ranking. if it were only longer!!! part 2 must be born, not in 2005 either, NOW!!!!!!!! OR GRAND THEFT AUTO WILL!! WELL THAT WOULD BE A BIG PLUS TOO.....

Good.... In it's own right |
| Jason X from Wolverhampton, England says (20/Feb/2004): |
So.. Tre Crime is finally here. All the speculation and hype that it was going to be a GTA beater, and in the end we're ll dissapointed again. But to be honest, True Crime ain't that bad a game. It has got its faws and in some ways seems a little rushed but it's still fun. However, let's get one thing straight. True Crime is no-where near as good as GTA 3 or Vice City in fact they are not in the same league. I don't see why every time a new game comes out with it's own radio station or a learge range of guns is suddenly trying to better the greatest PS2 on earth. Lets face it. Rockstar are probably the only one's who can better they're beautiful creation and even for them it will be some task. I think that with Activision's new baby they are just trying to give the gaming public more fun along the lines of GTA. All i'm trying to say is don't go into this game expecting it to be the new and improved GTA. You wn't enjoy it ifyou do. It has it's flaws but overall it is great fun so give it a go. I would rent it first though and if you enjoy it you should shell out 40 quid and I am preety sure you will get your moneys worth. AQfterall, any gae that lets you play as Snoop Dogg and has the voice of Christopher Walken in it has got to be fun.

GTA has nothing on this ! |
| Hazilo from London, England says (3/Jan/2004): |
When i first heard of the True Crime Streets of LA, i thought it would just be another Grand Theft Auto wannabe.
But infact just being a police officer makes it very different from GTA. I had been waiting for the police officer game to arrive, and here it is! There are so many games out there today which are all the same..GTA, The Getaway etc.
the graphics are probably the biggest downfall of the game, because there have been many times when i am speeding around in my car, then suddenly find myself on the other side of a brickwall and i cant get out. The game is great fun to play, because when you get all the upgrades just go on a rampage with 2 desert eagles (laser sighted) and a bling Lambo Diablo.
Overall the game is a mix between Max Payne, GTA , The Need For Speed, and any other top game you can think of out now!
(using cheats makes the game a bit too easy)
My favourite part of the game, is the good cop bad cop idea, it is a nice touch...
So this is a definite for all gamers out there hip-hop fans and nerds, skaters, and people who like to wear pink dresses! 10/10

True Crime Streets of LA |
| Dean Wood from Newcastle Upon Tyne says (22/Feb/2004): |
This game is da $#< remove me > at !!!!!
The graphics are class the theme is mint cars are great and the guns nothing needs to be said about these.
All of the missions are good except from those $#< remove me > at !ty tailing missions, the fighting shooting and chasing missions are well above average.
This game is a great game but there is just one thing wrong with it, its far too easy i got it for christmas and by january 28th i had done all endings got all upgrades(eg cars,guns and grapples) without using one single cheat or tip.
I still love the game but that just annoyed me very much, how there was no point playing on it anymore.
All of the endings are stupid the best one being the poor when you lose to the general and fall off the helipad. The good ending is okay after you fight the general for the second time and win as he speeds off in a sporty car after nearly knocking out the FBI boss.
The graphics on this game are brilliant, at first i thought it was made by the same company who made the getaway (another class game) as they are both that realistic.
P.S Love the bonus movie that FBI gadgie can bust a move when he wants to.

A great action game, hard 2 BEAT |
| Alex from Australia, Perth says (23/Nov/2003): |
i got this game yesteday and i am very impressed by it. many say that GTA3 and VC are better, but this is a game from a different P.O.V, instead of brakin da law, u r brakin peoples faces who do!!!! It has great gameplay, (even though the car missions can be annoying) and it is filled with a realistic story line with some kick ass kung-fu moves

Great game! Great Buy! |
| A gamer from Dayton, Ohio, United States says (9/Feb/2004): |
This is a great game! It is my favorite! It has great graphics, and it is fun to play. The sound is great. It makes you think that you are on the scene yourself. It is a great action game a lot better then the Grand Theft Auto Games. The branching story line is cool too, depending on if you are a good cop or a bad cop. You can play this game for hours with out getting bored. I hope that activision will make a sequel! This is a realistic game and for $50.00 I dont think I wasted my money on it! It is great!

The true crime is this game alone |
| Kainoa from Honolulu, Hawaii USA says (5/Apr/2004): |
I bought the game True Crime cause it's gotten a lot of possitive press on the mapping of entire Los
Angeles. The gameplay is mediocre, the driving sucks, missions are for 4th grade girls, the characters say stupid one liners, gameplay is slow to two factors becuase the game is just
slow and loading takes a year cause of the mass size of data that needs to register, not to mention the autosave which pisses me off, i think activision tried to take their stab at
the Grand Theft Auto genre that Rockstar Games catapulted on their own. The thing that really f***ing pisses me off about this game is.....NO BLOOD!!
Another game that tried to follow in GTA3's steps was the hyped up but all returned, "The Getaway" exploring London's underground syndicates. If everyone will step away and let
Rockstar Games make real games there'd be no consumer confusion. Just cause a game is free roaming, it doesn't make it better than GTA3, cause that set the bar man. One good
thing to say about True Crime is that the character designs are good cause of excelent pixelation i also commend Acclaim w/ digitizing Los Angeles, but thas about it. The game controls are difficult and the hand to hand combat is awful and shouldn't be allowed when you can just put a slug or a magazine in my case in somebody. Something that makes this game so flawed is no jump ramps...how are you supposed to have fun w/ your car? If you're wanting to buy this game, DON'T! Read the other reviews as well if you've already done it, it sucks if you get stuck w/ it.

could gaming get any better?? |
| terry from uk,luton says (8/Nov/2003): |
this game is exceptionally better than vice city and this is coming from someone who could play vice city all day long!!! this game has excellent graphics the sound is supurb ,
it is definately worth the money...as i said before "could it get any better"!! it's actually quite funny cos you can randomly stroll up to a pedestriann and check them for fire arm's or drugs.... i've had a few funny remarks from the pedestrians.. such as
" yo dude you planted that piece on me!"
" that's not my jacket i fount it!" there's loads more
any way i hope people enjoy it as much as i am right now
contact me if you find any cheats plz

A nice mix of Vice City and the Getaway with some kung-fu thrown in |
| Tru_Playa from London, England says (15/Nov/2003): |
When we first stuck this game on it seemed like the best game we'd played for ages, if not ever! The mix of driving some bad motors with the quality kung fu fighting missions is a blend well appreciated with my mates.
Having finished the game I can honestly say I was a little gutted. Not because the game was a let down, but because I was gutted that it was over. What was I gonna play now? Having said that we did put some serious hours in all in all, and we got some pretty skilled players, and overall Id say DEFINATELY play this game.
Put it this way, Im online now, on this site, because I am looking up a cheat I got for this game! Even though weve finished it, its still got me a little...

It's okay... |
| Erin from Southern Cal. says (20/Jan/2004): |
When I first saw True Crime: Streets of LA on TV, I was thinkin "Omg..that looks awesome!" Well, turns out it's not as good as they make it look. Streets of LA seems to be like Vice City or other games along those lines, but it's not at all. The game was way too short, I beat it in a day. (And if you're a 'good cop', it doesn't really matter...you only get like 3 missions added.) Playing it over and over gets old after a while, since you have the same few missions. Anyways, on a more positive note, the game is okay because of the good graphics, story-line...and honestly, I think Nick is pretty cool!

oh ys 1 more thing my ratins on the game out of 10 |
| A gamer says (22/Mar/2004): |
Out of 10 these are my thoughts on the games ratings and why.
GrAPHICS: 10/10 only because the graphics are more sureal ina way
MuSIC:1/10 Hnestly they need to find better music!
LaNGUAGE: 10/10 Gotta love the catchy cuss phrases lol that vice city lacks.
CrIMES:9/10 because chances there aint enough police cars fire trucks and ambulences to take!
VeHICLES: 9/10 There could be more world like vehicles meaning not a hummer every block or two and making some newer exotic cars in there!
OTHERS:10/10 because i don't know what others should be im tired and imn going top bed im 2/3rds asleep!

True Crime a Great Game? |
| Brett from B.C Canada says (5/Dec/2003): |
I recently bought true crime for the ps 2 and was pretty pumped until I got home. For the first half an hour I resisted the urge to return the game because I thought the driving control was lame and the game was frustrating at first. But after playing for about an hour and a half I was hooked. The graphics are great(Though I prefer the graphics in vice city, it just has a better style.) The gameplay is easy to pick up and the idea of upgrading everything from the car you drive, to your martial arts, and you weapons and their abilties. I found True Crime to be the best cop game I have played. The cars are very nice too, You can commandeer(Not actually named in the game of course.)a mustang, honda civic, acura nsx, Dodge trucks, SUV's, buses, random truck veichles, vans and assorted cars. People complain about the selection of cars but I found it comparable to Vice City's number of cars othere than gta's secret cars. As for the game, I like the structure of being a cop. You cant just be crazy running around like a manic trying to kill everything in site.(What cop would?) I don't thin GTA:Vice City and true crime shoul d be compared on the gameplay level. GTA is a crimnal game, the point is to cause mayhem, take over the city and pretty much do any damn thing you want. True Crime is a much different game using the simialar game engine, You are a cop trying to find the anwsers to his fathers death and crack a big case, you have to go around stopping crime and getting to the bottom of the crime. The point of playing each game is much different. If you want a game thats filled with mindless killing, lots of dead innocents(Though True Crime alot of the innocent manage to get in the way, other times they hit you when you are running around and you shoot them in the head for being dumb.) and the general point is being a bad guy play GTA:Vice City. IF you are looking for a game more structered filled with kung-fu, being on the good side of the law, as well as many different playing experiences through the different missions(At one point you end up fighting demons and a dragon! No spoilers.) Than True Crime is the game you need.
The only weaknesses I found with True Crime 1.Is with the music, it's great if you are into alot of hip-hop but thankfully you have the option to edit what songs play in the game. 2. True Crime seems short because once you beat it you are left thristing for more, I got and beat this game the week it came out and I am eagerly awaiting a sequel. Buy it and try not to compare to GTA: Vice City as a comparsion as the games themselves play differently.
Graphics 8.5
Music 7
Gameplay 9
Replayability 10
Control 9 (Once you get used to the driving, It's more realistic than GTA and is hard at first.)
Story 8.5
Satisfation 9 (It leaves you beging for more.)

One of the coolest games ever! |
| michaela from tuscaloosa,alabama USA says (3/Jan/2004): |
I love playing this game!At first when i saw my friend playing it, i said it looked pretty boring to me, but when i played it, i couldn't get off it.I spent hours playing it.
All the missions were okay.Some were too easy.My favorite missions would be the drive to missions, because i like driving around and running over people.Frisking people took a lot of time and even though it gives you good cop points,it takes time because half the people don't have nothing.
At first i didn't know how to do much and fail some missions,but i passed them.Tailing missions, there was one, that took me longer then others.
I love all the driving maneuvers.I do a lot.I had a lot of fun driving in the game.
I would consider buying this game for someone would likes to have some fun and just to do something.I mean, you can run over people and jump hills,blow-up cars and the graphics are okay,but could be better.
There should of been more missions and episodes.If they made a second game,i am going to try it.More games like this should be made, and being a cop is cool,i am a good cop on one game and a bad on the other,and being chase by the cops is one thing i don't like,because i lost them easily.Also something i didn't like is there were places you couldn't go to.
Too short,but it was great and hopefully them make a second one!If they do,hopefully it will be better.
I still can't decide if it is better then gta:vc.

gang shootup |
| fahad from london says (10/Nov/2003): |
this game is the best game iv'e ever played. probably just compares with grand theft auto vice city but once again it is a police action thriller. grab yourself a copy now and see for your self. you can do almost any thing i like it soooo much i bought it and played it all day long. i played it soo much i already completed it
|
What else could you want in a game |
| Terrence Anderson from Los Angeles, California says (1/Feb/2004): |
this game is clearly one of the best games ever made and the people thought that this games sucks, clearly they must be a bunch of nerds who break down games to the every single frame. You idiot are dumb, this game gives you the opportunity to be a good cop, or just a criminal impersonating a cop doing the city bad. Dont get me wrong GTA: VC is one of the best games ever made, i must say this game rivals it and gives Rockstar some compition. Mind you this is Activisions first try at a game like this. Remember GTA 1. what a piece of crap that was, and GTA 2, that was horse crap too. So give Activision another chance in approving though they only have a little to work with. The graphics were great, the environment was great (all the real streets in LA done perfectly, i live in la i would know), the reality of the game is perfect for gameplay, the weapon selection is good, but can improve. The action moves that you can pull are great and the overall quality of the game is stupendous. though what i feel needs to be improved: music (i am a rap fan, but i feel they can improve on diversity for everyone), length of game, variety of missions and street crimes, and even more weapon selection. Little but Activision on its FIRST try has built on of the greatest games made and lives up to it advertisement. A percect TEN, and im sticking with it.
