Story:True Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Show more

OMG! I loved this game so much as a kid and still even go back and play it at times. I would pay anything to see it GOG. Great game and its sequel was okay too.

I do recall playing this on Xbox original. I believed I once played every path there is. I didn't even fully know the concept of clones in gaming at that time. I kinda knew it was somewhat similar to GTA series. You play as a detective that's literately taking down the bad guys. This might be famous for the bonus mode. Where you play as rapper Snoop Dogg with a huge time limit. Simply stop as many crimes as possible. This also put some effort into the fighting mechanics. Shooting can be fun for a while. I would say among the best GTA clones I played. The music is rememberable to a degree. It does play off good or bad system. Which started to become more popular in gaming. You also got a rememberable protagonist. Parts of the cut scenes felt somewhat like a decent crime movie. I do think a lot of people would absolutely love this in their GOG collections.

I've played the PS2 version of this game a few years back. It may be a GTA clone and a bit janky, but I find it stands out in it's own way, it's pretty fun & the humor is memorable.
ah man... the memories, this game was just the definition of COOL when it came out! The diving and slow-mo mechanics, the SOUNDTRACK, the humour all of it was great! The little dance routine in the hidden bonus scene I LITERALLY LEARNED THE ENTIRE DANCE AS A KID LOL. That song is STILL in my playlist what a classic. PRESERVE THIS LEGENDARY GAME ♥♥♥♥♥♥
For as much as they're compared to the gta games there is nothing like the true crime games and there being nowhere to play these gems is criminal. Some of my fav memories from the ps2 era of gaming. Hearing Christopher Walkin again would be a dream come true

I had this game on GameCube. It is mostly the reason I am interested in similar games just like it currently available. I think it had alternate endings. I thought that was pretty cool.

A cool game with an open world and character progression with different abilities. The story is decent, and I think there are even two endings. There's a lot of humor. I played it back in 2004. For me, it was kind of like GTA: Vice City but about a cop, with slow-mo mechanics, advanced weapons, and hand-to-hand combat. The game is outdated both technically and graphically, but it has some amazing features you won’t find in other games.
A great soundtrack, a new style of action game and the style of a GTA game, True Crime: Streets of L.A. has it all. Easy to lose track of time playing this game with the variety of missions and side quests.
