"True Crime:Streets Of LA"

Yup, it arrived yesterday. Its brill.

Get it, everyone :o)

Feel free to ask any questions about it!

Time-Warp hits the nail on the head apart from the fighting sections. I was fighting one of the regenerative random police missions and as I was fighting the hannibal we both disappeared into a wall and then after a few screen flickers I was back on the streets about 3 blocks away shooting someone. I can't even tell you how it happened but it was a massive bug (one of many to appear in the game). The auto lock-on funciton sucks ass as well, even more so than what it did in GTA3.

Its the worst game I have had the displeasure of playing this year. The gun sections are reasonably enjoyable but everything else looks and plays dire. I enjoy playing the GTA series in and amongst other games but this isn't anywhere near the quality of those games.

Think i'll give it a miss somehow...

I got it too. It's ok. The city is pretty boring, the game is very linear and its VERY glitchy. However, the fighting, shooting and driving manouevers are so varied and a lot of fun to pull off. Fighting has some cool kung fu and throwing moves. Shooting can get extra cool when it goes into (almost) bullet time and you shoot a cars gas tank. And you can belt along at 100mph in your car and suddenly flip around 90 degrees and carry on driving, which is perfect for a car chase.


But it just not filled to the brim like the GTA games. There arent as many secrets, theres no amusing sub missions or extra things like being a pizza boy (lol) and it just feels like a basic, mission following game.

I would be disappointed if I'd bought it, but GAD paid for this one, so its all good.

I didnt think much of the demo to be honest but Im still willing to give it a try - Will rent it out soon as I can! After reading several reviews it doesnt seem to bad after all

I also got it yesterday (day of release) and its awesome !!

Hmm.

Mixed opinions then.
I wanted it to be another gta, because the simpsons really wasn't and the duckbox didn't work for me to play gta with a cube pad.

Oh well. Might rent it or something.

Ok, but what are the graphics like?
Is there a radio?
Is there police that try and kill you?
Can you steal any car?
Are there any planes etc?

Lol well rent it or buy it!

The city, I have explored about 10% of it I think within like.. 6-7 hours?

Be back on later, leave your questions for me :o)

I was thinking of getting this, but all i have read about it is bad. I am going to rent it and then buy it if i like it.
