This game was so intriging! the graphics are so realistic and they make you feel like your the mobster. this game has a few bugs which should be noted: sometimes if you have been playing to long the game will freeze and you will need to restart your xbox. then there are just minor glitches. the sound is so amazing! if you rip tracks on to the game you will have a blast! if you like blowing up buildings and shooting peoples heads off, you need to buy this game. this game brings a lot of new consepts to the gaming industry(sex, drug use, violence) but it has too keep up. so i tell you to go out there and buy this game and never let your friends play with it.

Well This is one if The Best Game That is going to be on all the Consoles, it is almost Like Grand Theft Auto But I think it's goin to be Even Better.

in This Game there are three Diffrent Styles Of GamePlay, Driving, Fighting And Shooting.
And True Crime is in LA, The Streets and all the Locations are Real, it is Based on Sattelite Shots so its goin to be Great To Go every Where in LA and see how it feels and looks like.

Now to the Gameplay First the Driving:
You Play as Nick Kang Driving His Convertible And Drive a motorCycle and while You are Driving there is going to be a "radar" just Like Grand Theft Auto and it will Direct you to various Points on interest, not just that you can also encounter random Crimes while you are out in the streets, you can Even break up muggings without even getting out of your car by Casually popping a few caps into the perp's face.

Now the Shooting:
You Can Hold two Guns at once, and you can even aim at two thugs now aint that cool or what, while you take out the Thugs you can take their weapons.

Now The Fighting:
In This Game The Hand to Hand Stuff Works Pretty Cool, The moves There are that Nick Use is punch, Kick, grapple, and Jump.
If You Repeat the Attack the Thugs will get Dizzy and there is going to be a slow Motion string of Attacks on them as a sort of Finisher.
The Grapple lets you Suplex , Tosses and Series of Slams you can even make elbow drops on the thugs after you knock them Down.

not only that you Can Do Stuff Your Way, there is a Unique Branching storyline allows you to navigate your own way through over 100 missions, even leaving the mission path at times to build skills, explore the city and and bust random Criminals.
Success leads in one Direction, While Failures lead in another, Without Repeat of missions, If You Decide to kill a boss, you may lose the information he had, If You Don't Kill him, he may Come back to haunt you. Along the Way. You've got to React to and handle random Crimes that spring up.
In The game You Can Bust Drug Dealers and prostitutes, Shakedown Information and Confront Gang Members To Get The Job Done.

as You See all these things a man Got it, Nick Kang is a Really Dangerous Dude, he is a cop Offcourse.
The Game is Really Great, It is By Activision, i am Gettin This Game When it's Out I Am Sure, It's Going to be Even Better Than Grand Theft Auto, So Wait For This Game And GET IT!!!.

The good guy version of GTA.

I'll admit that Vice City has more depth and originality, but personally I would rather play as a cop than sell drugs, steal cars, and kill hookers. However, if your a thug at heart, this game allows the player to be a dirty cop.

You won't get the unlimted access to drug running speed boats and helicopters as in VC, but True Crime does bring to the table a reasonable variety of vehicles which you might be required to "comandeer" in order to protect the citizens of L.A. from themselves. And don't forget this game has a customizable soundtrack, to many publishers are ignoring this feature for the X-box. True Crime delivers a great gameplay execution with a decent story mode. There is no denying that this is a GTA clone, however it does provide an excellent gaming experience.

gta for the BOX? i dont think so, JACK!

i've been lookin up this game alot, when it comes out you defenitely will want it. If there is a game to compare this to, it has to be GTA vice city. But in this game you r not the BADGUY like in GTA, your a wacko COP! but, you can still do as you wish because you are no longer on the force. (the real cops still give you recognition, wich is good.)The story is said to be very intriguing as you try to take down mob organizations and other randomly selected crimes. yayaya, whatever! the nice part is that if you fail a mission it wont just end, and you wont just start over, it simply starts another branch to the story or your mission. enough about that, wat about the gameplay? well unlike GTA there is a much more bigger deal about the fighting part of it. there are several different martial arts and pro wrestling fighting styles you have to learn. as for cars they are just as good as GTA. No word on the bikes yet. Instead of stealing a car you will simply show your badge to take over a civilians vehicle, or you can buy them the honest way. For guns it is a much different than GTA. you cant just hold down the aim and fire button to take out a group of people. (dont worry) you will go firing ranges to learn that type of stuff. Hopefully there will be lots of cheats for this game. that is one of the best things about GTA. sound effects and voiceovers r great.(i seen a movie already) GRaphics should be oustanding, much beter than GTA since its on XBOX. wow i wrote a lot here, im getting tired. LOL!

Two Weeks and still addicted

I got addicted to this game after playing it for only a few hours. I rented it and ended up keeping it for two weeks and will be buying it when the price comes down a bit. Just for the heck of it last night i rented GTA Vice City and wanted to take it back after two hours. This game in my opinion is funner, bigger and the fighting is way better, the shooting is way better the only thing GTA has on True Crime is the driving, because you seem to be able to control your car a little better in GTA. Now Maybe GTA is a deeper game and it takes longer to get used to and it's more complex or something, i dunno, but i'd rather have a game i get right away and enjoy right away and doesn't take me a week just to have fun with it. Nick Kang is hilarious and there's some great one liners in the game. Just wish they hadn't rushed the game. It's got glitches and clipping problems galore and the car is a bit hard to control sometimes but other than that it's a lot of fun and suprisingly addictive.

It's so easy to get lost cause it's so big and i really like the fact if you want to find something just look it up on Mapquest.
how much more realistic can it get?

Ok, Dis Game Iz One Of Tha Best! 5++++++

True crime is uh a game thats to die for its filled with with lots os stuff like guns, cars,motorcycles,lots of martial arts that is mixed with sum of slow motion like matrix. Man its like the opposite os GTA better , let me you i and you to can have alot of fun hitman2 dont watse your time on it im tellig you if you dont have it dont bother this game is out of this world out of space well if you like to you know blow off peoples heads or sell drugs then this is the right game for you.Ya ok maybe it may freeze on ya if playing to long but just so you know if you do then that meens you realy like the game.This game if filled with high pitch sound and graphics i dont think your eyes can keep up with this game.If your still playing GTA vice city ,GTA3, max payne , or hitman2 then you must be crazy your wasting your money man with these boring and short story games .Well thats your money but enoughf about that.Look my me and my girl my brothers like this game but thats why they cant come in my room to play it ,but enoughf about me your realy going to like this game ok so have fun.:) P.S great job Activision

pros and cons compared to GTA vice
pros:
The fighting is much better,but you must earn the upgrades to make it better.

Hours of just driving around doing what you want like GTA.

The shooting is better, but u must also earn upgrades to make it better.
The driving area is much larger.

The missions are good, but more simple than GTA, but earning upgrades can get harder.

Cars are much cooler and take mor damage

cons:
to many of same cars and people in one area.

driving is harder with the thumb stick and can't be changed.

the sound is not diverse enough, but you can play songs already ripped to hard drive.
So overall this is an outstanding game that will give the GTA series a challenge and will hopefully improve with the next game just like GTA did with Vice City.

May Topple GTA

I was surprised by True Crime:Streets of LA. I was thinking it would be a cheap, GTA knock-off but it's actually a game that stands alone from GTA.

Good--Excellent graphics, sound, gameplay, and controls.

Bad--Hip Hop/Rap soundtrack with very few Rock songs mixed in, a little more diversity would've been better. But, thank the lord for the Xbox soundtrack. Also, the targeting system was a little annoying until you got the first 4 upgrades because you'd be standing in one place for about 3 seconds while the enemy was whailing into you so you could target them. A manual targeting system would've improved this greatly.

Ugly--Storyline was cheap and cliched. I mean, how many times have you heard the storyline of a "borderline cop who does things his way and doesn't want a partner"? Or "a young cop just out of the academy trying to fill his father's shoes"?
