True Crime New York

[KollarGTAMF]

What a piece of sh*t game. I hadnt even gotten to do the first real mission before it froze on me. But oh the bugs before even that!

 

Sometimes you go into a building to solve a crime, and when you come out some sounds will be gone, like sirens. Or say when you come out from the subway and you're suddenly floating in the air. Or maybe crossing the street only to be hit by a car, but instead of maybe flying over the car and having damage done, you get stuck in the middle of the car. And oh, you better hope it doesnt start raining, or else the graphics will f*ck up, causing weird distortion over everything and causing your radar to go blank for some reason. Sooo many f*cking problems with this game.

 

Not only are their a ton of bugs, but the controls are weird and completely unresponsive sometimes, (f*cking impossible to arrest someone on the ground unless you are facing the absolute perfect direction and pound the B button a ton of times), not to mention the horrendous driving physics and damage (I didnt know barely tapping another car would send them spinning around, yet slamming into them will barely move them).

 

Seriously, DO NOT buy this game. Dont even f*cking rent it. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

yea, I love it But its buggy as all ufcking hell! Still lots of fun though

It's a really great game. We all know it's a GTA knockoff... but, who cares? A game is meant to be fun, and this one takes the cake. It's basically the exact opposite of GTA story-wise, which does make for a change of pace, so I really can't complain about it being GTA-ish. GTA set a precedent, and True Crime has followed it really well. We shouldn't hold it against them just because they weren't first.

This actually isn't the first time I've heard of the game freezing and stalling on players. I'm not going through a Serious Sam II again, and have the game start up one in ten tries.

 

I've been looking forward to this game for awhile now, I havent played a demo or anything, and I think I might stick it out until the price drops, and just get Resident Evil 4 for the PS2. I was listening to one of the guys who worked on the game, who was interviewed on Attack Of The Show! and it seems like they made some major improvements over the first one.

 

Like I said, it seems like it's better just to drop $39.99 on RE4 for the PS2 and wait for the price to drop on this title.

Is the cake bullsh*t flavored?

 

I actually got a Blockbuster card and rented the game just because I wanted to see if it was as bad as Cali says it is, and even though I didn't run into as many bugs as he did it was still a pretty f*cking mediocre game.

Lots of expletives and flaming here. I guess there's no chance of a dispassionate opinion while all that's going on.

 

 

[Dasutin]

With everyone being GTA fans, it's very ironic that so many people are complain about some glitches.

Well said.

 

The GTAs, while fantastic, are some of the most infuriatingly glitchy and inconsitant games around. What shines through is the feedom: if the missions were put back to back and the freedom to roam removed they would be possibly regarded as unfinished, poorly realised toss. Games like Mafia and Total Overdose have far better missions.

No way. I won't say that GTAs haven't had their fair share of glitches, but none of them have really been so bad that they start to hinder gameplay like all of these other unpolished sh*tters.

 

I have the Xbox version of True Crime LA and it's just a glitchy, worthless f*cking turd. I'm getting the feeling it might be something to do with a sh*tty port to the Xbox if NY is just as bad.

 

If I check this game out at all, I'll wait for the PC version and see how it does. Although the PC version of LA was sh*t too.

[TheReaper]

or can someone post a link were i can find the info that i wanted on the previous page thanks

[Rob.]

I've seen the videos and it seems pretty slick, although which version runs better, xbox or Ps2? And another thing, IGN only gave it 7.8, was it really worth that?

[guv]

I'm getting it on Friday, and I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm or refute the frame rate problems on the Xbox as I usually prefer multi format games on Microsoft's console. I have a PS2 and a GameCube as well as an Xbox, so informed comments would be appreciated.

 

 

[trick_boy]

get it for the ps2 b/c its not that much glitchy as the xbox b/c my friend rented it for xbox and its more glitchy I got it for ps2 its mor better

There are frame rate problems. Usually whenever you enter/leave a building, and damn near every time you use the handbrake around a corner.

I have the game on now, so I can help you out.

 

Weapons:

.45 ACP

Beanbag Shotgun

Caltrops

Flashlight

Stun Gun

9mm SMG

Standard Shotgun

4.6mm PDW

5.56 Assault Rifle

Tranquilizer

Stun Baton

.45 Special

Tactical Shotgun

5.56 Bullpop AR

Sledge Hammer

5.56 Carbine

7.62 Sniper Rifle

Flashband.

You can dual weild small melee weapons and handguns. Certain weapons become available to you when reach a certain detective level.

 

The Controls are pretty simple. The camera can get a little frustrating, but it can be adjusted with the right trigger (or R3).

 

There's a wide variety of crimes. There's car hijacks, DUI, hostage situations, bomb threats, illegal chop shops, and then there's the crime involved in the main missions.

 

Basically, you're trying to avenge your Godfather's (a fellow cop/father's friend) murder.

 

Yes, you can change your clothes.

 

You can't buy all the weapons at the beginning, but they become available, and you can get them at the Police HQ, a Police Booth, or a Gun shop.

 

There are save files, and you can save anywhere at anytime, but you will always reload at the Police HQ. Also, when you die, you reload right where you died, or outside the building in which you died. You lose progress on the mission, but you won't lose any money (not any I've noticed, anyway), evidence, or career points.

 

It's a fun game, everyone should atleast give it a rent. Be warned, there are many cutscenes in the beginning though.

 

 

[TheReaper]

*faints*

 

sounds awesome how do you change your clothes +plus if you needany cheats i have them im very prepared

[Dasutin]

You change your clothes by accessing your locker at the Police HQ, or when you buy a new outfit.

[trick_boy]

not just by accesing ur locker and u can buy clothes at the clothe stores around the city of NY which is awsome

[TheReaper]

...........*bump*

 

so do the shops appear on the map

[Dasutin]

Yea, I found this classic cop outfit with the brown trenchcoat over a brown suit. I forgot what store it was though. There was also a black leather trench coat.

 

And no, the shops don't appear on the map. They're sort of hard to find, too.

[Rob.]

This game sound great, Is there a custom tracks option for Xbox owners?. I like the clothes idea although i hope there are some nice clothes not just basketball jerseys, no offence im just hoping for a urban feel with great atmosphere, a bit like GTA3.

[trick_boy]

no you just walk around random places finding clothing stores

 

also im gone to make a website about this game when its up and running I will give a link to it

If I ever buy this game it's to drive around New York, I liked TC:LA because of it's big land. Other than that it was sh*t. The new one looks very similar too.

It was like Snoop Dogg in the old one, very pointless indeed. And why does it have to be endorsed by a famous person? Becuase it can't make a name for itself with it's second rate gameplay alone??
