I recently bought this game on Amazon because I remembered playing it a few years ago and loving it. That was probably the worst way to waste 1 dollar. The game is fun for about 10 minutes... after that, it's already repetetive. And if you're looking for an alternative to the Grand Theft Auto series (as I was), then keep looking. Kill civilians as you may, and no cops will ever come after you. You also lose points for every civilian killed. And don't get me started on the driving mechanics...

I mean, if you dig being the big bad cop friskin' people on the sidewalk, by all means, purchase this game... otherwise, avoid at all costs.

Disappointing....

Blockbuster game of the year! GTA KILLER! I heard this over and over and over. Don't listen to the hype. Its not a bad game, its actually quite good but this game was OVERHYPED! I got the game yesterday and sat down to play it within 15 minutes it locked up on me. Then an hour later it locked up on me again. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but its very aggrivating and it hasn't happened on any of my other games. So I'm assuming that its just this game. The missions are ok but they're very short. In fact I beat the game yesterday twice. But it was just the poor ending and I can branch out and get the better endings by completeing more missions. The graphics are decent but I expected better and the frame rate drops from time to time for no particular reason. The soundtrack is great if you like gangsta rap if you don't then you're SOL. The music isn't censored either so if your mom is around and she doesn't want to hear the F word every few minutes then you better turn the music off. I'm 24 and I even got irritated at having to hear the constant swearing in some of the songs. The stealth missions are stupid. They're very limited and feel as though they were just thrown in there so that it could be hyped up more. I can't express how dissappointed I am with this game and its not that its a horrible game. It really isn't. I just thought that it was going to be the next big game and its not.

whoopa$$!!

Just drive around LA causing mayhem and stopping crime. Controls suck and there are a few glitches. Fun overall. The Chris Walken voiceover is excellent.

"True Crime" to the customers or True Crime to the players

Lets start with the good things. Cutscenes and voice acting is top notch. The city is huge and its nice to see the santa monica pier and the freeway driving is sort of fun. Completely destroying a room in a hectic fight scene or shootout looks cool. I would say the first few hours will appear to be fun but then...on with the bad things. The graphics while driving is choppy. There is serious lag and slowdown in alot of the game. The load screens are plentiful and sucky. The A.I. is very flawed and you will see perps get stuck or hung up in walls. You can expect to get your car to get hung up and the game will freeze at times. The boss fights are just plain crap. You will end up throwing your controller more than once due to the fact the fighting controls stink and it seems that kick, punch, kick repeat is the only thing that works...but doesn't. Grapple moves hardly ever work. Everyone and there dog is a kung fu expert. The side missions get repeated way to often. Repeated stupid one liners will get repeated over and over. The shooting gets ok after some upgrades but still is not very good. The auto aim takes most of the fun out of the game. You will end up not even paying attention to the story line because it makes no sense and multiple ending only add to the confusion. The stealth missions. Well one minute your kicking butt...next minute your retrying the same mission over and over because you cant get past a bucket due to the crappy controls. The "matrix" effect is plain...well boring and you will not miss it if you never use it. Overall this game gets boring fast...even after getting all the upgrades and you will end up rushing thru the game just to get it over with and probably never play it again. It tries to be the game with everything but does not succeed on any level. Truly a major disappointment.

Big city, plenty tasks, aaaahhh, now this is TRUE crime!!!

Hello, I am a ten-year-old fellow citizen of america, and a TRUE true crime fan! Being born in israel and raised in california, I know the feeling of living in such a place as LA, and so, when I went to that deli in 2001 at the age of 8 and bought a copy of an Xbox mag, and saw that this game was coming, I knew there were treasure in store for me, and it would come to me soon, very soon, in the very near future...Well, I guessed wrong! I waited a whole 2 years for that delicate piece of treasure, and in in between those coupled years of harsh winter and food shortege (Well, maybe I'm exzagerating a wee insy winsy bit), I had bought more than half of my present xbox games, including Shenmue 2, Splinter Cell 2, Amped 2, and many other sequels, even giving myself away to the miracoulus powers of the computer with GTA Vice City, until...
It...
Happened...
I walked into the video game section of an electronics store named J&R, searching for yet another sequel to kill some time (Spider man 2), when something flashed into my eyes...It was twinkling, sparkling, shining, a penetrating sight of immense loveliness, most pleasentry reaction (I know I sound like good ol' shakespeare, but I just can't help myself). I crept closer to it, my heart of kaaza lite violation thumping, pounding, pulsing, and also leading my way with no wit whatsoever, the good for nothin' lop-sided slacker of a yellow belly!
So, when the endless light dried up, it showed an ugly cover of an Xbox game featuring an ugly chinese guy with a down-right corny pair a' jet-black sun glasses sticking his miniature pistol atcha' with the average joe "Stick 'em up" pose that was straight from the funny papers. Then there was the shine-producing little square in the bottom right corner of the cover, which showed a white "M" sign, and I just knew it didn't stand for Mickey Mouse!
So, discovering this twinklin' piece a' disposable MADE IN CHINA rubbish, I went on on my oddisey to find a sequel worthy of my taking. Nine minutes later, my mom declared it was time to go, so I took out my wallet, saw how much money I had, found Spidey 2, and dicovered I did not have enough to buy it! So, I walked around in circles, pondering of what I should do, in the name of burping buffalos! And then, suddenly, I heard two men talking next to me, sugjesting to each other what game to get. So, I eavesdropped them, disguised as a nerd looking at Monkey Ball 2, which, may I add, is a sequel. I heard one man say something on the lines of: Hey, wanna buy this 'un? Id'd sav'a a buncha moolah.
And then the other guy spoke: Cha, like I'de wanna take da role o' a' stinking LA cop with corny black sun glasses!
The two of them guffawed spontainiously, very annoyingly, as I faked to be enchanted that Monkey ball 2 featured a real-time 3-D inviornment.
I couldn't believe what I had heard. It was a sign from the angels, a heavonly reward for the two long and harsh years of slavory and heavy wintry air that could chill the bone.
No more sequels for me!
So, I went home, and a few weeks later, I arrived at the store again, and, badda-bim, badda-boom, I had myself a revolutionary, vast-citied, task-filled, branching-storilined, funny and wisecracked,and exeedingly cliche game, by the name of:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! TRUE CRIME: !
!STREETS OF LA!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the rest is
history!

I'm not someone who writes a novel for a game review so I'm just gonna say that this game is definitely worth the buy. It's basically GTA updated and your a cop who knows martial arts.

Great Game but several large downsides

If you play this game I promise that if you mildly enjoyed GTA you will have fun with this. There are a wide variety of gaming modes, and every other review mentions them so I won't go into that. The bad parts of it are that it is WAYY to easy, and there are no difficulty levels so once you beat the game you are done with it. Another this is that they have really advertised the goodcop/badcop thing but it really doesn't matter. It does give you a meter that you can use to tell if you kill people or let them live, but it never comes into effect during the game. It is not too short of a game but you will beat almost every mission the first time so you speed right through it. As I said before, great game but you might want to rent it and beat it before you shell out the 40 bucks
