  • 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.

    The shooting control takes some getting used to, but stick with it and you’ll advance through a solid plot laced with a meaty hip-hop soundtrack, celebrity voices, and...drumroll...a playable Snoop Dogg! You’ll never need MapQuest in L.A. again.

    It's not nearly as good as "GTA," but entertaining nonetheless. [Dec 2003, p.134]

    A game that simply lacks polish and, in some cases, feels unfinished. It makes decent attempts with its different styles of gameplay, but none of them are particularly well done, and the game's storyline doesn't tie them together in a satisfying way.

    Half the game it should have been. Whoever came up with the inventive level structuring or spent months mapping LA has every reason to be furious with the lacklustre implementation of their ideas. [Christmas 2003, p.106]

    This game is cool with a great storyline and the snoop dawg cheat makes the game cos he swears his damn head off but is a bit annoying that you lose points if you kill civilians and compared to vice city vice city would win by far still it is an awesome game.… Expand

    It's a great game if you can just enjoy it and forget about the bugs like, going through walls and a bad driving experience.

    What a joke. I cannot believe I waited for this!! I was counting on a game like GTA. The game is way too short even with all three endings. What the hell "true crime streets of la" I thought If you could find it in LA it would be in this game? What the hell are zombies and flaming skulls doing in LAs underground? I lived there before and I never saw that crap. Dont buy it wait for a new GTA.… Expand
