True Crime: Streets of LA is an action-adventure game released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and other platforms. The game follows the story of Nicholas Kang, an uncompromising LAPD detective recruited into the Elite Operations Division to investigate a series of bombings in Chinatown, which may be connected to the disappearance of his police-officer father twenty years earlier. Set in a 240-square-mile re-creation of Los Angeles, the game features a vast open world with accurate representations of landmarks, streets, and highways. The gameplay is diverse, involving driving missions where players can commandeer cars, engage in high-speed chases, and solve random street crimes. The driving mechanics are arcade-like and fun, with special moves and upgrades available. Hand-to-hand combat is also a significant aspect, with simple yet effective moves and combo attacks. Shooting missions are intense, allowing players to take cover, use bullet-time, and switch between weapons. Additionally, the game includes stealth missions and on-foot exploration, although the latter is less polished due to camera and movement issues. The game received positive feedback from critics for its varied gameplay, branching mission structure, and the 'Good Cop/Bad Cop' system, which influences the storyline and endings based on the player's actions. While it did not receive perfect scores, it was praised for its ambitious scope and engaging gameplay mechanics. True Crime: Streets of LA remains a notable title in the action-adventure genre, particularly for its innovative features and large open world at the time of its release. However, its current popularity and demand are more niche, appealing mainly to retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors.
