Make no mistake about it, this game does not trounce, destroy, walk all over, or replace "Grand Theft Auto." It is a better game though, as it is more refined and makes a nice addition for those who like the genre and are looking for more.

One of the most entertaining games I've played in a long time. It has a ton of injoke humor, action, car chases, explosions, violence, adult situations and language - it's what adult videogames are all about.

True Crime: The Streets Of LA was literally the BEST game ever of my childhood. My dad didn't even want to Play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back when I was a kid. so my dad let me play True Crime instead. Ahhh the memories.

It's a strong, individual game and when the dust settles it'll undoubtedly be in with a shout for action title of the year. I just wish there was more of it.

But undeniably, Luxoflux have delivered BIG on their biggest undertaking to date, and have thus elevated True Crime: Streets of LA to sequel-worthy status.

What does this action game packed with guns, cars and crooks have that "Vice City" doesn't? The voice talent of Christopher Walken and Gary Oldman as characters, for one thing. [Oct 2003, p.37]

The heart of Crime's problems: the driving is OK, but the shooting interface manages to be worse than "GTA's"... You'll spend more time in L.A. frustrated than having fun. [Jan 2004, p.64]

Half the game it should have been. Whoever came up with the inventive level structuring or spent months mapping LA has every reason to be furious with the lacklustre implementation of their ideas. [Christmas 2003, p.106]

This game is simply pure fun, chaos, absurdity, & graphically comical all packed into one. This is a GTA clone that doesn’t take itself srsly. The story is mediocre but the gameplay is so darn fun. The production is comical with the sound effects, explosions, characters doing funny things, & ridiculous jokes. This game is simply an over the top popcorn game that deserves praise for its balls to the wall execution.

This game could have been much, much better. Every chapter felt the same, like Assassin's Creed, but worse. If you buy this game, you will likely stop having fun after less than one hour, due to the game's short "story". If you're a GTA fan, and are looking for similiar games, try Mafia or Just Cause, but never this. Ever. 1/5 stars.
