Video Game Reviews of True Crime Streets of LA
Customer Review: Max Payne/Dead to Rights/ Grand Theft Auto killer? PLEASE!
Summary: 2 Stars
Everyone( including me )was thinking that True Crime would crush the afforementioned titles, but they were wrong. DEAD wrong. In attempting to seamlessy blend in elements of Max Payne, Dead to Rights, and Grand Theft Auto, they forgot several things-story, replay value, and controls. The replay value consists of playing as Snoop Dogg. Whoop-de-stinkin-doo. The controls, while aren't the worst kind of controls, they definitely should have been tweaked better to outmatch GTA,MP, or DTR. The driving isn't bad, but it certainly not going to beat Grand Theft Auto. The fighting is very weak,depending on button-mashing more than skill and the moves are extremely slow, unlike Dead to Rights, which requires actual skill. And finally, the shooting. The aiming is cumbersome and will require patience and a keen eye. Plus, it rips off both Dead to Rights and Max Payne with the slow-mo dodge, but fails to outdo either one. Also, is it just me or does every pedestrian fight like they've spent time in a Shaolin temple? Believe me, you'll be in tears when you're getting (...)kicked by winos and Martha Stewarts-lookalikes. The soundtrack is supposedly made up of rap songs. I'm not a big fan of rap or Snoop Dogg. However, only the rock songs are the good songs on here. Now, aside from all the nit-picking I've done, there is some good here. The shooting system allows you to pick up 2 guns at once( for example, you could have an M-16 in one hand and a shotgun in the other ) which is kind of fun. One thing the driving does have on GTA is the ability to aim inside your car, which is neat too. The graphics are pretty good. The voice talent, consisting of Christopher Walken, Michelle Rodriguez and Michael Madsen, is interesting to hear. Unfortunately, the bad outweights the good. If you're smart, you'll either rent True Crime or go and buy Max Payne, Dead to Rights, or GTA. They may be slighty older games, but they're definitely a lot better than True Crime. (...)Customer Review: Moderatley good, extremely confusing
Summary: 3 Stars
True Crime: Streets of LA has been compared to the Grand Theft Auto series, but in reality, this game couldn't be farther from it. True Crime doesn't break any new barriers with its gameplay, but it does offer some unique options. The best part of the game, in my opinion, are the optional street crimes that can be solved while rebel cop Nick Kang is cruising around the streets of LA. These crimes offer the most options involved in the game's often muddled and routine missions. Nick Kang himself doesn't offer the true badass image the game wants him to have, which hurts this type of game. The story itself is the weakest part of the game. It's so confusing that by the fourth mission, I really had no idea what was going on, nor did I care. The ability to skip certain missions and have it affect the ending of the game is a great concept, but it's unfortunate it's wasted in this mess. True Crime: Streets of LA offers great abilities in the often routine gaming experience of shoot 'em up storytellers, but in the end, falls short.Customer Review: perfect f*ckin game mother f***cker!!

Summary: 1 Stars
I rented this game thinking that it was gonna be the next big game. Instead I realized that I was gonna have to pray to God that this would be one of those gifts I DIDNT get for Christmas even thought I asked for it. And what happened I got it anyway. So you know what came next- the day long search for the receipt. Luckily I found it and didnt have to keep this horrible game. (...)The only good part about the game was the driving and it still isnt worth 49.99 . (...)Customer Review: True Crime
Summary: 4 Stars
This game isn't the best like vice city or those games. YOu should get it but if you want the best game wait for the new grand thef auto which i insure will be much better. this game is short and its not worth $50 if its on sale then buy it but dont buy it for 50 dolars. THis game has bad driving skills. If your on a street a car wont stop they will just hit you and that brings down your health which isnt a good thing. This game isnt awful but its not the ultimate either. you should buy this game cause it is good since you could drive around. The cars are good but the place isnt, you cant go in any bulding and they look fake like they were in driver1 & 2. so the graphics arn't so good
but still buy it cause its better than those other games.
