  • Summary: True Crime: Streets of LA is the deepest combination of driving, fighting and shooting ever burned into one game. Take the role of rogue E.O.D. operative Nick Kang, assigned to the task of taking out the merciless Russian and Chinese crime syndicates plaguing the City of Angels. The action is non-stop and you can never repeat the same mission twice as you play through a branching storyline that takes place across 250 square miles of accurately recreated Los Angeles.

  1. The PC highlights include the multiplayer version (which is definitely a lot of fun) and the much-much-much improved graphics (of course, you got to have the right tools for the job).
  2. What separates this game from the rest is the success of the producers in combining so many types of gameplay for every taste out there. Maybe this is exactly what doesn't make the game such a big hit.
  3. The most frustrating parts will come from the non-existent camera control that will interfere with almost every aspect of the game, even the easy hand-to-hand combat system.
  4. The controls are awful...L.A. is nowhere near fully modeled. [July 2004, p.60]

    Another great game let down by bugs. Overall it's great, but the controls can be annoying. Another "promising" title let down by the fact it was released before it was polished. Expand

    As with best intents that could have been great, honestly when hailed as "a driving game." in which you will spend 240 square miles of LA9;s sun baked asphalt jungle, who was the snapper head who decided the PC version of this game will not support a driving wheel. Look ma, I am driving with two fingers...If you make a driving game, or that claim facilitate wheel support!!! I disgustedly threw this coaster back in the box and fired up GTA 3, and have hopes Driv3r will support the wheel Expand
