True Crime: New York City (Sony PlayStation 2, 2005)

What i like over all is that (different of GTA series) here we play a cop.
Marcus Reed could be a good or a bad cop if you like.

Good points are:
-the hero is a genuine NY cop (well, like the movie cops at least)
-You can buy some weapons, cars, maneuvers, and techniques at the Police HQ, or all along the city - in the city you can buy cars, clothes, medicines, weapons, even haircuts.
-Several cars to play and buy, you can take any car (or truck) that you wish to drive, can buy some cars at dealerships.
-You can learn fight techinques at cities Dojos, helpful to fight agaist some enemies.
-There are markets, drugstores, hotels for you restore your life gauge.
-non letal weapons - if you want to bust criminals and gain more points and money.
-Car races thru the city.
-Some individual missions/cases to chose.
-Several districts to clean, chose one and start to bust criminals that do several criminal actions, fights, disturbances, locate drugs, arrest gangs, etc.
-The graphcs are good, the city, the persons.
-You have several musics to hear, and can buy songs at music stores.

Bad points:
-The camera movement isnt good, some times its crazzy.
-Dont expect a Need for speed in the car races (just a minigame to gain some money)
-Some movements of the hero are strange.

This game can entertain you for a long time, if you like to explore and made 100% of game play choices.
Some people don´t like so much True crime, but I liked since LA edition.

Good play, and dont forget to give some time to God (dont forget God, remember him and follow him) - God Bless

despite all the negative reviews given to this game by Grand Theft Auto types - it is still a decent title - the free-roaming, voice acting, music, in-game jokes, realism, and detailed scan of Manhattan make it a decent experience despite a few technical shortcomings - especially at the price it goes at right now on Ebay (less than rental price) - you should definitely consider getting it - for a few hours of fun

and by dark i literally mean dark, this game is set in very dark settings and in the city of new york. Compared to the 1st truecrimes that was set in sunny LA. The graphics have improved but they look kind of rough to me so thats why I cannot give it 5 stars. Although the 1st game did not look real it was very smooth.

This game is fun however the fighting moves are not as great as the 1st game. In the 1st game youre an asian guy who knows martial arts. But in this game you are a black man who simple does simple punches and kicks that he learned from the streets and police.

Same basic gameplay but with extra features! for exmaple if theres domestic problem in a hotel or something you have to find which door it is arrest the victums. there is also bomb defusing!

Another cool addition is you can check the trunks of cars from people like if they are carrying drugs or weapons.

overall a great game! and to close this review I will leave you with a little secret that is also the same for the 1st game. If youre in a car and you zoom in to shoot...if you shoot at the rear lower bumper of another car (if youre chasing someone to arrest them) it will make the car youre chasing explode! FUN STUFF!

When I first heard about this game I thought it was going to be another attempt to beat the GTA Series.
But after playing it after a while, it's completely different in most aspects.
You can do most of the things like you can in GTA prior to San Andreas but:
you can go into buildings and interact with restaraunts, clothes, etc.
Be a good cop or a bad cop.
The visuals are crisper which is really a plus visually.
I would have to say I give this a game a 6/10, mostly for visual, controlling is not as simple as GTA, but it still is a fun game for what it's worth.

this game has the best storyline, moves,GUNS,and better graphics that streets of la had. the people who said that this game was a 1 or 2 out of 5 have clearly never played this game. i read one comment that waS marked a 2/5 because it was not mature for little kids READ THE ESRB RATING IT IS A M WITCH MEANS THAT IT IS NOT FOR KIDS. i hate when people say stuff like that. this game is the perfect gift. it is am awesome game
