Don’t set yourself up to be disappointed. Don’t believe the hype. The game is not as good as they made it out to be. I barely scratched to give it a 4 star only because it has my boy Snoop D-O-W-G doing his thing as a cop.I would never dare use the word orignal to describe this game. The fact is that you are guaranteed to like this game only because it contains so many of the elements that we gamers come to love and appreciate such as elements from vice city, max payne…etc.The game does get boring and repetitive sometimes. I also did run into a few bugs, like Nick & other characters running thru walls and characters getting stuck in the scooby doo running position. Another thing that I absolutely hate about this game is the fact that a criminal can literally stop (grab) a car that you are speeding and take you out and shoot kill you without you having a chance.I also noticed a lot of things that didn’t make sense. You can search a civilian and find nothing and as soon as you turn around, that civilian is robbing someone at gunpoint…nonsense! To add to the craziness, people are getting raped in broad daylight on the side of the street (while people walked over them)…I also arrested a FEMALE rapist who I caught raping another woman…it was kinda sexy tho’I was also a bit surprised by the amount of curses.I noticed other glitches such as the enemy’s guns floating in the air after you kill them. These things just cheapens the game! At this point of the review, I am so tempted to reduce their ratings to a 3; however, since this appears to be a compilation of some of my favorite games and to be honest, it is a pretty decent game, I will allow it to remain a 4 start.Go ahead gamers, buy this game. If anything you can also count on the continuous game play and crusin around LA to keep you entertained.

I think my niece got Mafia confused with maybe the second game…..but anyways with this game is is fun, not as much as GTA SA because C.J doesn’t have an occupation and there are cheat codes for that game. Though sometimes it is fun to go and arrest people but still you pretty much have to do the missions, it just takes me longer to find a certain place and when I do find it, it is by accident and thus it is on to the next mission and those timed ones are annoying. Ugh! I think GTA SA is as good as free to roam games are going to get.

You can play this game basically 3 different ways. You can complete the missions and do your job like you are intended to; you can be a good cop patrolman and simply drive around town arresting criminals for concealed weapons and for having drugs and responding to police calls, or you can simply go crazy; fight civilians, shoot civilians, fire warning shots at civilizans, run people down, arrest people and shoot them with their own concealed weapon, basically run around Grand Theft Auto style!! Basically choose your own adventure! Lots of fun either way!!
The game was great and I loved the huge city and limits, you can go anywhere in LA and that was probably the only thing good about it. I rented it, beat it in five days without using cheats or even a strategy guide. Beat all the levels, even the alt endings. The only part I liked was the level where you just drive around doing whatever you want, the only problem is that it takes forever to become the bad guy and you can’t just have fun once in a while by trying to run away from the cops, but instead you are the cop, which I don’t mind, but they also make the criminals way too easy to catch and it’s just ridiculous. It’s also to random since I try frisking somebody who was running away, accidentally frished an old lady, and what did I find? A grenade launcher. The driving is awful too, one of the worst driving engines I’ve ever seen. If they made a better driving engine and soundtrack for the game, maybe I would consider buying it. The only good part of the game is the hand-to-hand combat. The fist fights are the most entertaining part of the game, everything else is just too easy and gets too repetative too fast.I say you should rent this game before you buy it, you’ll probably be disappointed like I was…
Bought brand new for $10 can’t be beat and you must buy it if you like PS2 free room games and also being a cop
If you haven’t played this from the previous Gen, you should find the time to as this game is one of the most enjoyable games that you could ever play. Similar to Grand Theft Auto, you play as this Character who is a cop and you get to run down Los Angeles arresting people and doing Storylines that lead to fun Boss fights.

A few weeks ago after sucumbing to the pressures of my slowly depriciating PC I picked up a brand new PS2. I debated what game to play, and as a fan of the GTA series (of which I have played extensively on the PC) I decided to give this game a chance. Suckered in by the slick advertising campagin and cool premise (what could be better than a GTA-style driving game, with Max Payne style gun battles and an integrated fighting system) I went home, eager to hook up my new system and give this game a shot. While I have not been disappointed per se, the game is also not what I expected. First of all the pros:-Incredible graphics (the game has some slick cut scenes, and overall the graphics are pretty cool. Not mind blowing mind you, but quite well done.)-The Missions (while some might quibble over battling demons and dragons in a game entitled “True Crime”, the missions as a whole are quite enjoyable, and it has a surprisingly interesting story. In this respect it is far more akin to a cheesy Hollywood action movie than a “serious” game (I would recommend “Mafia” for those interested in a great game with a cool, believable story line). If you can suspend your disbelief to dodge sniper bullets in slow motion, take out twenty guys in five seconds and use limitless ammo then you should have no problem fighting a dragon and other mythological Chinese creatures. Sure you’ll probably blow through the missions in this game quite quickly, but the added features of being a good cop (stopping crime gains you points) or a bad cop (blowing away civilians, shooting criminals in the head instead of taking out a knee cap) allows for the possibility of multiple endings. In addition, the free driving mode (ala GTA) is pretty cool. Essentially, you respond to emergency calls that range from simple muggings, to prostitute street brawls, and domestic disturbances. These random encounters are probably one of the strongest aspect of the game and you never know what you might encounter (is the little old lady involved in the altercation on the street going to whip out a gun and start blasting away?)Overall, though the missions (even with the free driving) may not maintain the playibility of Vice City (you’ll likely be tired of this game in a few weeks) it is enjoyable none the less.That being said, here are the cons:-Poor style of game play. (This game promises so much, essentially portraying itself as a driving, shooting, fighting game. Sadly, ALL THREE elements are lacking. The driving lacks the finese and control of GTA (a game which still maintains the bar for this genre), the shooting while enjoyable at times due to the “bullet time” aspect (ala Max Payne 1 and 2) and the slow motion targeting mechanism, also suffers from a terrible control system, that makes targeting anoying (auto-targeting is terrible and far too easy) and the unlimited ammo feature for me detracted from the games appeal. The fighting elements also are sadly lacking. What could have been an elegant system (ala Virtua Fighter) of combos, special moves and attacks, essentially devolves into a bunch of random button pushing that is far more entertainng to watch, than it is to actually play. I appreciate the “learning” elements (you go to a dojo to learn new moves, or the firing range to pick up new weapons) the combos themselves are limited and boring. Even given the range of possible attacks in this game, I still found Vice City far more entertaining with its simple punching and boot stomping elements. A sad sign indeed that this game is lacking in that particular aspect. Overall, I would actually rate this game as 3.75 stars out of 5. When it works it works and you will be blown away, but when it sucks, it sucks hard and you’ll be wondering when the hell Rockstar is going to put out in the next instalment in the GTA franchise. This is definitely a game I would recommend RENTING, or buying when the cost has gone down, but as a new game I would not recomend shelling out the rather expensive price tag…
