Ultimate Street Cop

I bought this game with my christmas money and went home to play it only to realize the best NYC graphics and the most real New Yorkers! First of all, you really can't just ignore the crime alerts for too long because eventually, the businesses in that area will shut down, causing you to waste time finding another store just the same that IS open. If you cruise through the areas that have the highest crime rate, you will notice the buildings have boards over the windows and there is ALOT of graffiti hanging around this area and if you frisk people that are in this area, they will most likely be holding drugs or a box of stolen jewelry!!! Bt, if you ride through the areas you have cleaned up, the buildings will be fresh looking and there will be less thugs in the area, and less crime alerts. But, all in all, the graphics are simply amazing! It is just so real in the life of a street cop, good or bad.
Hop my review helped!!!

Not playing this game is a true crime

Another true crime game this time in another big city New York. I love going to Harlem and Chinatown to fight the bad buys on the streets. They killed your mentor and now it's time for revenge. This game is not for kids.

This Game Rocks!!

Cmon' stop comparing this game to GTA! IT's fun and there's a ton of cool stuff you can do and see.
Does GTA have the accurate city (NEW YORK CITY!!), the cool graphics (Reflections on the ground, shadows and weather effets, better looking cars and people), the amount of objects you can shoot and destroy is awesome, there's just tons of stuff that make this game better. The shooting missions are lots more fun and way better. I haven't had any problems with my PS2 version either.

i cant believe u people!

i got this game with my christmas money and i think its well worth the money. it has everything you can even rob shops take hostages (even thought
your a police man)you can go in every shop in the hole city. crime gets lower if you consentrate on one city but if you just go around killing people then it goes high again. dont believe what every body else says just buy it hopefully youll like it like me.

Great Game

I don't normally post reviews, but i felt that it was needed due to all the unjust negativity.

I own both GTA and this game - as a comparison, GTA has some fantastic features, inculding a larger map ... however, True Crime has updated graphics, better choice of weapons, there are sports cars that drive better than others, it is more modern, better controls - I HATE GTA SHOOTER CONTROLS - they make no sense. Great Slow Motion mode when shooting is awesome.

If you are looking for the most up to date free roam game available, Get this game and ignore internet garbage.

Awesome

This game is awesome. I am having a blast playing it. I only have like 3 missions left in the main story and so far I haven't noticed any major bugs in my copy. I really haven't had any problem with it at all. I don't know why so many people are having so much trouble with theirs. I did try to play it with a wireless controller which kept freezing it up. I hooked up my wired controller again and had no more trouble at all. But anywho, my only major complaint with this game is the horrible language. They need to include a language toggle in the game..all games infact. Other than the horrible profanity, this game is awesome to play. If you like the GTA series, try this one out. I recommend this title for only those of a mature audience. It earns it's "M" rating. Not for kids.

NYC hasent ever been this much fun

The gaming magazines have been really trashing this game (at least the 1s i read) but its so much better than Streets of LA in so many ways. First off the soundtrack is the best ive heard since American Waistland. the soundtrack is huge. Its got Rap, Rock And punk. Now The Game is huge. the map is so big and really nice looking. if you need to get someplace just take a cab. plus almost every building you can walk into. But is daos get boring after you have done everything. But wait theres also Driver: Parralel Lines. That has NYC frome The 70's and 2006. So you should probibly rent the 2 and make a choise.

Great Game! It's got it all.

I read a review on HonestGamer.com. about this game.
It gave it a 9/10 rating and said it is one of the year's best games. I agree!

So Amazon reviewers are just plain nuts.

True Crime: New York City is a great, GREAT game. I bought it expecting it to be fun, but not the great thrill it was. New York has never been rendered better (and I thought Activision did a great job with the Spider-Man series.)

I enjoy GTA but buy comparison TCNYC is leagues better. The driving, fighting and shooting controls are simply better. Sorry, as much as I enjoy GTA the inability to wall-hug, is KEY in those mega gun battles (gamers now what I'm talking about.) Also it helps that the cars on the streets in TCNYC actually move out of your way if your car has a police siren, which makes for less explosions and getting to a mission in one piece.

The violence and profanity are THICK in this game, but the choice to be a good cop or a bad cop is a welcome one, given that so many games just offer mindless, unrepentant gore and dare I say, a lack of basic humanity. As a good cop, you can choose to wound and arrest a suspect, instead of blowing everyone's head off all the time.

The story and voice acting are both quite excellant. I hope that someday there will be a sequel to his game -- not the LA version. Most games featuring African-American leads depict them only as outlaws. TCNYC makes you responsible for all of your choices. Great game.

What Grand Theft Auto Fans Want

So many of the game reviews are picky. One of the biggest complaints about this game has been that it is the same old thing. Just like Grand Theft Auto. WHen was being like one of what is considered one of the best games ever been a bad thing? That said, if you don't like violence or profanity, avoid this game at all costs. It has both in spades. The game is very similar to the whole GTA vibe. Lots of free roaming action, lots of violence to innocent people, lots of what people loved from GTA. YOu can get more details from other reviews. The truth is if you are a churchgoer, avoid this game, it will do nothing to improve your spirituality. If you love GTA you love this game.
