I think we all know by now that sales don't determine a game's quality.
I've read up on True Crime and I've seen nothing but bad reviews. To top it all off there's a lot of people on this site reporting that it's rubbish and the latest gamesTM gave it 4/10.
And yes, gamesTM's word is gospel :D

As with all games that you may be interested in buying the best thing to do is to rent them for days first and give them a good go, if you like them then fine go buy them, if you dont like them then you saved yourself £35.
Ive said this a thousand times before but here goes again... just cos Joe Bloggs might say a particular game is crap dont mean that the game really is crap.
Its all down to the individual at the end of the day, if i trusted game reviews with every purchase i'd ever made then i probably would have missed out on well over 20 GC games that i actually enjoyed playing despite having read bad reviews for some of them.
You know it makes sense :P

There are about 5 bad reviews, its a shame what a couple of bad reviews can do to a game. But hey!
Rent it and see.

Have read some bad reviews for this, so I don't think I'll bother.
Looks like another uninspired, mass-market piece of rubbish.

Ha, I took shots at people through their cars.
Haha die

Dammit!! It done that annoying frame thing again last night. I drove right across the city and it just stopped when I was arresting a guy.
Before that happened though I decided to stand in the road and take shots at peoples tyres for about 20 minutes.

It is a fantastic game, but it does not come up against the gta-games.
Gta is superior with its gamplay system, all the different missions, all the different cars, gangs and weapons and the length of both gta3 and gta:vc was much better than true:crime
But gta is missing some of the things that True crime has:
Slo-mo, good cut-scenes with hands that is actually moving, a huuuge city, all the training missions, the good-cop/bad-cop system and how all the criminals appear with all the different crimes.

Nah, I need one tho. Activision have one in their guide, shows where all the impound garages are, dojo's and stuff!
Theres some place far east that has some clifts that you can drive off and get like 250m+ jumps! Not found it yet mind!
Im not going to lie, there are quite a few glitches, but 99% of them are funny, like when you see cars jump on top of eachother and stuff :oD
It wasn't funny when it locked up half way through a hard mission!

Does anybody know where I could find a detailed map of the game?

Yeah, I realise :(
Havent seen any ice cream vans yet.
I was playing yesterday when I started to chase this guy on foot when the frame dropped to a point where he looked like one of them robot men that stand outside of shopping malls and move when you give them money.
After about 5 minutes it regained so I started chasing him again when it stopped again. I reseted it and it was sorted but that was annoying.
I havent seen any other major glitches.
I saw a car launch right across the freeway and over 5 lanes.
