True Crime: Streets of LA Review True Crime makes decent attempts at 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. The Video Review Jeff Gerstmann delivers the final word on True Crime: Streets of LA. Watch It As video games become more and more complex and realistic-looking, game developers are starting to look toward other mediums for inspiration. No longer is game creation as simple as inventing a character, creating a world, and plotting out a mess of sprites. With the increased power of today's consoles, game developers have to consider the best way to keep players immersed in a game's world--a process that touches everything from the gameplay to the graphics to the soundtrack. This sort of suspension-of-disbelief approach to design is something that moviemakers cope with every day, so it's really only natural for game developers to, at least, glance in that direction for a pointer or two. Activision and Luxoflux did more than simply take a glance with their latest game, True Crime: Streets of LA. The game itself is merely a vehicle for a premise and a plot that could have--and practically has been--done as a modern day action movie, full of clichés, catchphrases, and leap-of-faith twists and turns.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Gamers who loved playing straight forward action games like "Dead To Rights" and "Syphon Filter 3" or open-ended action games like "Grand Theft Auto III" and "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" will enjoy "True Crime: Streets Of L.A." a lot. Although similar to those PS2/XBOX "Grand Theft Auto" games, "True Crime: Streets Of L.A." is a much shorter game, taking about 10-15 hours to beat (if you just want to tackle the main missions and skip the side missions), compared to the 40-50 hours of "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". Also in "True Crime: Streets Of L.A.", you play as a cop (although maybe a loose cannon) instead of a bad guy/criminal. The character you play is Nick Kang, and (I got a real kick out of this) he is voiced by Russell Wong, who has appeared in films like "Romeo Must Die" and TV's "Vanishing Son". Other celebrity voices include Michelle Rodriguez, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Michael Madson, Ron Perlman, Mako, James Hong, and CCH Pounder. There's a pretty good story - typical cop thriller stuff, but you'll enjoy it if you like the cop thriller stuff. This is aided by great cinema scenes with some nice voice acting. I also got a real kick out of the ending cinema (it's the one with Nick and the old guy), which had nothing with story, but was entertaining nonetheless. Combat includes shooting (you can even shoot while driving) and hand-to-hand fighting. Aiming and shooting is similar to GTA, and works well for the most part. You can even enter a First Person Mode for better aiming, but the controls in this mode are a bit off, so you're better off not entering the First Person mode unless you need an accurate shot at someone like a faraway sniper. Hand-to-hand combat is solid... if you're fighting you're fighting one or two bad guys, but if a group surrounds you, you're better off running away or using your guns. There's some combos for you to use and you should learn to use some of them, since they not only help in combat but also might be the only way to beat some of bosses. There are some fun stealth missions where you have to sneak into buildings unseen. Like GTA, you can "jack" just about any car you want. Some missions require you to stop or take down a moving vehicle, so you'll use a combination of driving and shooting, just like chase scenes in action moveies! Since it is set in L.A., you can see some real-life buildings, like the Staples Center. Nice touch! The only negative thing about this game is that it froze up on me twice (causing me to lose about 2 hours), but it wasn't enough to hinder my enjoyment of the game. Anyway, this is fun game that's not to be missed by those who like action/shooting games! I highly recommend this game. Rated M for Violence, Blood & Gore, Strong Language, and Mature Sexual Themes Graphics: 5 (some of the best graphics on PS2, brighter and better than the "muddy graphics of GTA III and Vice City) Sound: 4 (great voice work, pretty good hip/hop and hard rock soundtrack, with some killer tunes from bands like Taproot and Deftones) Controls: 5 (controls aren't perfect but pretty darn close; the controls during first person mode could have been better) Fun Factor: 5 (Only one of the few games that I could say was fun to play from beginning to end!) Overall: 5 (Highly recommended for those who enjoy action/shooting games!)Vollständige Rezension lesen
This game is awesome. Going back to my PS2 console takes me way back during my high school years. Graphics were amazing during its time. Love the story telling and voice acting. Cinematic cutscenes were amazing as well. Will forever love this era of gaming.

Not for young unparented game players. Play at your own risk!?! This game is like a real piece of LA everyday news! Violence from the get go! If you are in to carnage and street war this is the game for you. Total all out chaos on multiple levels! Of course there is upgrades to be won! We collect Playstation games, so of course this was another purchase for that as well! PS2 still rocks at our house and will for years to come!
