True Crime: Streets of LA
I bought this game because it was in the bargain bin and the novelty of driving around a real model of LA sounded fun. You play a copy who doesn’t play by the rules so you can drive over anything and take other people’s cars when yours gets too beat up. This game has a lot going for it:
- It really is a model of LA (not including outlying areas like the valley)
- The voice acting is pretty good
- The story seems pretty good
- The freedom to chase down any crime is nice.
- The way it takes you through the story is fairly interesting with small blocks to do between cut-scenes
- Running over large trees, utility poles, traffic signals, etc. is pretty funny
Unfortunately that doesn’t make up for what’s wrong with the game:
- The graphics are very ugly
- The controls aren’t very responsive which makes for irritating and frustrating gameplay.
- It’s just not very fun overall.
- If this is LA, where are all the cars and people?
