True Crime, another game that's gonna be hyped up beyond belief and actually turn out to be a steaming pile of cess. From the video's I can just tell it's gonna be rubbish, the driving sections look pathetic, it's all just a case of style over substance.

We can expect it to shoot up the charts though because it's been billed as a GTA beater. Looks rubbish and I'm 90% sure it will turn out rubbish.

Do the games industry a favour everyone and totally ignore this pile of cess.

It could be good. Hopefully Nintendo stick their nose in a lot and go 'OY! Do it like this!'. But do Nintendo have a clue about how to make a GTA beater? Hopefully.

I saw the shooting bits of the Getaway on TV. It looked so poor and had a really 'wooden' aiming system (even worse than MoH).

How I laughed.

But, in most cack games - like with Agent Under Fire - the driving-sections are the best part of the entire game...

So, how will True Crime: Streets of LA be ANY good, with the driving-sections looking so-bad, already?!?

Hah, but that'd be quite funny... The gorrillas I mean...
Speaking of gorrillas, anyone enter that Nintendo competition to win a years supply of bananas...? :S

I'll reserve judgement on this until I play it. I've always thought it looked very good.

I hope it's better than the Getaway because that was crap, I seriously doubt it'll be a GTA beater, only GTA will beat GTA.

I admit I am interested in this title at the moment, but as someone said, I hope the driving sections are improved because they look crap and the cars look even less detailed than in GTA.
