True Crime: Streets of L.A. (PC, 2004)

When I purchased this game I was expecting it to compete with Grand Theft Auto Vice City, but sadly, it didn't, not even close. It's got a good story line, a wide variety of weapons and a huge map, but that's all it has going for it. The graphics are a bit below par, there are a HUGE number of glitches and it just feels like they rushed the game when they made it. So buy or rent? I bought it, and surprisingly I don't regret it, probably because I got it very cheap. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty fun, but the glitches out weight the good parts of this game. 3/5, not the best, but alright none-the-less.

I didn't enjoy this title as much as I was expecting to.
There was a lot of hype leading up to game before its release and it just didn't provide the enjoyable gameplay that it should have. If it would've come out before the other big crime games of the time, it would've have made a bigger impact.
You can tell they are trying to make a Grand Theft Auto look alike but they take it to the step with this new bullet-time/Matrix feature.
It's actually a nice touch and probably the highlight of the game, unless you're a Snoop Doggy Dogg fan and decide to spend the hours unlocking his delightful character!
I found the controls a little harder to use compared to the GTA series.
The gunplay while driving is a nice aspect to the game, but again the controls take getting used to.

i like the graphics on this game. it is a great shooter game, as well as fighting and more. you can do many things like steal cars and everything. what i dont like about the game is it is a short game. i started to get good at it and it was over.i also do not like the alt. endings. i bought it because i thought it would be a good game.

in grand theft auto i was always getting attacked by large numbers of police, which felt gay. now im playing as a cop. and still kicking as much ass as i want. better guns too!! in grand theft auto, they made so many weapons, but most of them were too hard to get!!!
