I know this hardly effects us because it was never going to be any good. But EA's Godfather game has been cancelled on the Gamecube, DS and GBA and will now hit the PS2, X-box, PSP and PC.

Shame.

Driving around virtual L.A. is good fun, that is until you step out of your car and realise that its all for show. There are invisible walls everywhere. There are no buildings to go in and nothing to do.

I'm gutted that I can enjoy more games than you.

It pains me deeply.

Take the blinkers off and you'll have more fun with the games you buy.

I might have won it.

All I know is that it was the first game that I exchanged at GAME.

Did you buy it for fullprice? :D

I got it for 12 quid, I didn't expect it to be realistic: I expected it to be fun. It was.

Driving round with various crimes to stop is more interesting than the Taxi/ambulance/races in GTA 3.

I'm looking forward to upgrading Kang's ablilities.

The game is crap on all systems.

It's just terrible.

And backs up my belief regarding your gaming taste.

I realised shorty after posting that I had it for PS2 and not GC. The PS2 analogue sucks which makes driving very hard.

True Crime is one of the worst games I've had the misfortune of buying, dodgy control system, clunky mechanics, dull gameplay.

It is terrible.

Eh? Drive with 'A' and sharp turn with 'X' that's about it.

I find the driving dead easy.

The main problem I have is with the camera during fights, sometimes it'll lock on and your view will be obscured by an object or your target will be behind a wall. A quick roll or two and it sorts itself out though.

Reminds me of Dead To Rights crossed with GTA.

The main problem with True Crime was the controls, particularly the driving controls. It was unnecessarily fiddly and hard to control. Pretty much spoiled it.
