True Crime: Streets of LA

Unread post by Ice » February 7th, 2004, 3:12 pm

i've heard alot about this game, i'm waitin for the PC version to come out so i can download it...

the soundtrack is crazy, only west coast rappers...

has anybody played it? are the street and hood names real and so on?

i remember in GTA 2 or 3 they street names were made up...

anyway, hit me up with your reviews of the game if you've played it...peace

good question...they should make an add-on or a follow up that has all that sh|t in it, that's the only way this game might get some respect from people that are over 14-15 years old...

I played it. its not as tight as vice city, but its still a good game. I prob wouldnt pay 50 bucks for it though, its kind of short.

for the streets it has everything from pacific palisades to venice to echo park (up to around dodger stadium), and thats about where it cuts off. The streets are exact though, but the graphics were pretty much sacrificed to fit the whole city in. Hopefully the pc version will have better graphics.

I didn't like true crime they should of added some L.A gangs in it atleast like Grand Theft Auto: III had different gangs like the Diablos which are hispanic gang and South Side Hoods which where black, it was hella lot tighter like that and after you passed it 100% you could put in cheat code and look like the guys from the gang you liked and pretend to bang with them. I liked Vice City also because they made it like Scarface. Im hoping the next GTA game has more gangs and gang cars if it has that im gonna buy it as soon as it hits the shelves.

True Crime is a good game but I prefer GTA 3 or Vice City.
True Crime is a little boring and it's less funny than GTA 3 or Vice City.
