True Crimes Streets of LA - Xbox Game (Retro Fam)

I have nearly finished the game, and it is indeed a fun game to play. One plays as Nick Kang, a rogue cop that gets things done around L.A. The graphics is fairly decent, better than Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, but the kicker comes in the fact that there are still many, many collision bugs and on occasion, the graphics chug. For instance, one time, my car actually got stuck in the ground literally! Another instance was that Nick Kang went through the wall during a stealth mission. The controls are okay, but they are not great. For fighting sequences, generally button-mashing gets the job done (think Enter the Matrix here). For shooting sequences, however, the great fault lies in the fact that sometimes Nick gets pulled into zoom-in sequences when you don't want it. Lastly, sometimes, Nick suffers a tremendous delay in reaction, which results in him receiving damage.Now onto the good parts...The story is well-done, and because of their development of the character Nick Kang, one can actually sympathize with him. The branching storyline is excecuted fairly, but I wish that it was much more fluid (aka Deus Ex or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City). The cinematics is like actually watching an old-school Jackie Chan flick. The inclusion of a street map is great! I wish that The Getaway offered such a counterpart. Lastly, the multiple varieties of cars and crimes offer good diversions.Overall, this game is okay, but Activision needs several improvements in gameplay and contro.

I am still playing the game and enjoyed it up until get got freaky with the whole fire breathing dragon, zombies, and dont not to mention the flaming skulls. Yes I think this game is a rip off of GTA and the getaway but the getaway got boring after awhile and they tried to hard to make it look real. I have never plyed Max Payne so I dont know how the "originator" looked but I like how if you hit a car in a certain spot it will blow up. Now if anyone is a true GTA fan then they shouldnt get mad at this copy. The plus up it does have is the fact there is soo much more roads and streets to go down., Hell it has a working freeway!!!

A little dirty but still worked.
