  • 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.

    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]

    I definitely wanted this game to be awesome-but it just isn't--after being able to just do whatever i wanted in vice city now i'm confined by outdated linear storytelling-some good aspects to the game-but overall when san andreas comes out we will all be using this game to rest our drinks on.… Expand

    this game is too short! i was shocked when i got to the sudden ending out of no where. i started playing the game thinking there would be tons of missions but there wasnt. the controls are all jacked up. trying to shoot the moving targets is flat out frustrating. i never got past the laser sight test because of the horrible controls. you have to shoot tiny circles on a moving target and its way too hard to get the laser to turn green giving you the ok to shoot. the controls for shooting is down right fucked up! whats worse is trying to shoot the bad guy in hostage situations. while your trying to aim for a non lethel point with the horrible controls, the bad guy is steady pumping you full of bullets. i read the game revolution reviews and heard there were zombies in the game. i never seen a single one. ive also seen tons of pictures of missions that i never got a chance to play! i beat every mission with a good rating and people are talking about shit or posting pics that ive never seen in the game. WHERE ARE THE ZOMBIES?… Expand
