This introduces you to the game's enduring themes: shaky frame-rates, awkwardly ported controls and embarrassing dialogue. It's staggering that a game that looks this average - a patch of flowers in Central Park looks like a purple and green chessboard - could be so demanding. What's all that processor power doing? Every person dies in the exact same way, for Christ's sake. It's not like we're dealing with physics here. What's more, with occasional dips to eight frames-per-second, we're barely dealing with animation.
As for the controls, you can either aim with the unresponsive mouse controls or press Shift-F to automatic aim, shoot and kill. Up to you, really. Frustration or funless is the choice. Audio Software icon An illustration of a 3. Software Images icon An illustration of two photographs.

Keeping in mind that this is not a driving simulation, at its core, I don't expect much more than doughy arcade style driving. But nothing handled as I expected, the cars were sloppy, sometimes you lightly skidded off the front end of a fire truck, other times being brushed by a motorcycle had you recoiling and turning 's while your perpetrator was getting further and further away.
The fighting system was convoluted as well, with a light attack, a heavy attack, a grab attack that was also the way to frisk people, which is also the button to arrest people, plus the buttons to put away your gun, pull it back out, fire a warning shot, flash your badge, tackle someone, all while trying to keep the squirrelly camera centered behind you which it rarely does well.
In the graphics department there were glitches, clipping into walls, as well as criminals falling through solid concrete and waiting in the ether for you to attempt, in vain, to arrest them. At one point I was forced to kill a non-lethal perp by shooting him in the foot, just to end the mission. Top this off with some frame lag and a whack targeting system, and you can sense my mounting frustration. You'll often find yourself tackling air, punching civilians and firing point blank at walls.
There were also numerous points where the textures for multiple guns seems to be missing, and your Uzi,s or pistol would appear as a white textureless shape.
In a GTA-styled attempt to test the limits of my virtual city, I shot an arsonist, grabbed his flamethrower and took out 30 people before highjacking a public bus and driving over half the residents of the Lower East Side. I finished up with some cop killing. I was being hunted by every cop in the city and identified as a rogue cop who was 'mentally unstable,' according to the radio. Assured of my own impending death, I ran to and fro waiting for the inevitable. Which never came.
I made a break through the park and dived into the bay and swam around for minutes. Necessary Necessary. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.

Another point for True Crime: the voice acting. They have spared no expense to obtain talent, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Walken and many others top the list of grade-A voice acting for this game's gritty plot. When I first heard the voice of a mysterious officer bark out orders and explain my next mission in Christopher Walken's creepy cadence, I was very much caught in the moment.
On a further note, the audio in this game is not lacking. Sound effects are crisp and believable for the most part, the soundtrack is as varied as you could ever hope for. Bouncing from White Zombie to De La Soul to The Ramones had me guessing that they wanted to avoid the rap-only crowd, though there is a large share of that too. The plot, in case you're wondering, is you taking the role of Marcus Reed, a down and dirty gangster thug who has embraced the straight and narrow and become a police officer.
Although he can still fight and play dirty, he's out to solve a few mysteries and clean up the town. This is mostly achieved by driving around or by subway, or walking, but, unlike the real NYC, driving is preferable and catching calls on the radio for random crimes. There is an interesting amount of variety in the crimes, but you soon reach the end of the cycle and bust your 34th counterfeit syndicate and your 23rd serial rapist and the regular missions soon get old.
There is a larger plot to follow, however, and it is slightly more interesting. You follow a series of clues and leads to interrogate increasingly more important thugs.
