This Game might have been shit in a love of ways but the hand to hand combat/martial arts aspect was absolutely amazing.
>Karate >Wushu >Taekwondo >Muay Thai >Brawling >Buy extra moves like kick ups,spinning kicks,counters >All styles have their own stance's and special block animations >Dojo's >Can learn 3 Weapon styles-Dual wielding-Katana and Staff techniques >Martial arts weapons >Still include grappling moves,takedowns and ground and pound >Every style has 2 main combos that you can combine any way you want,punches,kicks, knee in all directions and still give you extra moves when you lock on
I vaguely remember being frustrated by the original True Crime game.

Loved this as a kid

It's one of the most fun and funniest mid-budget games of all time. Combat had more depth than a lot of beat em ups. I can't think of a single current gen game where you can use multiple hand-to-hand techniques on groups of people. Don't say Yakuza. TC: NYC combat shits on that.

Great fucking post.
Josiah Morgan
The gun play was also satisfying as fuck
Jace Perez
the first true crime was kino

Yo remember the weird dragon shit at the end of the first one?
Bentley Myers
Yeah,that shit came out of nowhere.

I miss mid budget titles

>that weird mission where you climb a tower and witness samurai duel between japanese lady and black weaboo
For some reason, I do not remember anywhere near as many details about this game as Streets of L.A. Nick's antics were just more memorable I guess

NEW YORK FUCKING POLICE

>mid-budget The licensing cost for the soundtrack alone could eclipse a small devs entire operating budget not even including the NYC likeness rights and celebrity voice actors. I like the game but Activision dumped alot into this to try and make it a competitor to GTA.
William Price
This and Path Of Neo were my shit

I got streets of LA from gamestop but it was this instead, I spent most of the time planting drugs on people and arresting them

Imagine true crime releasing today , and having the level where you beat up strippers
Isaac Gray
glitchiest game ever

I loved how high caliber guns could tear appart arms and legs. Then, you could pick them up and use them to hit people in the dick.

I never really got a chance to play True Crime New York, but I played the shit out of LA on GameCube. >branching paths for the story based on your karma >pretty good combat, pretty good gunplay, pretty good driving >decent humor >entertaining random encounters >unlockable Snoop Dogg >fucking HILARIOUS random NPC dialogue that probably wouldn't fly in today's oversensitive SJW world >pretty good soundtrack
Years later, I bought an OG Xbox, hacked it, and proceeded to put a bigger hard drive in it, and put pretty much every worthwhile exclusive and 6th gen multiplat on it, including both True Crime games. I started up NY, and the fucking title screen loaded with that Cam'ron/Jay-Z joint "Welcome to New York City", the one where Jay-Z goes fucking nuts on the first verse. "I'mma BK brawler. Marcy Projects hallway loiterer. Pure coke copper, get your order up. I bring 'em to Baltimore in the Ford Explorer, but it's gonna gonna cost you more if I gotta get 'em to Florida." Didn't actually play much, cause I got nostalgic for LA, and started playing that again instead. I think the iso I downloaded may have been corrupted, because it kept on freezing during gameplay, unless I hit my Xbox to get it working again, or just reboot the Xbox. Eventually the hard drive failed (kept making a clicking noise and wouldn't boot to the dashboard, just to an error screen). I still haven't bought a replacement hard drive yet.
I heard NY had unlockable Method Man and/or Redman. Was he as fun as unlockable Snoop Dogg?

Oh yeah, when you played as Snoop, instead of having the cop car, he had his own exclusive pimped-out lowrider, and the button to play the siren would instead adjust the hydraulics.
Last gen. Wasn't Sleeping Dogs originally supposed to be True Crime: Hong Kong?

>go to a random crime scene inside a grocery store >its a gang of vegan protesters smashing up the place >want to maintain good cop rating so go non-lethal >spend the better part of 15 mins kung fu fighting a gang of vegans in a destroyed grocery store where EVERYTHING is a melee weapon like I'm in a Jackie Chan film Game was too much fun
Same. Legitimately one of the worst games I have ever played. It was pretty much an advertisement for Snoop Dogg anyways (was literally shown in-game throughout the entire commercial when it came out)

Sebastian Fisher
>can't emulate PS2/Gamecube versions Why not? Do you have a potato PC, or is the emulation actually broken for this game?
Ian Price
I remember in LA you had to fight this old Chinese dude at the end of the game and he whooped my ass constantly.
Chase Cox
broken emulation
Connor Lee
i really want to play streets of LA again
John Gonzalez
i liked it back then because i can frisk people, arrest, and even plant evidence
>get called to a domestic violence report at a restaurant >some guy is hitting his wife with a sledgehammer while she guards with a park bench

You need to set the emulator and give it a try.
Jaxson Ward
LA was better.
Elijah Taylor
OH SHIT
Owen Gomez
ignore the other retard. the game doesn't work on dolphin and your gpu doesn't mean anything when you're emulating. it's your cpu that matters

You gotta learn all the moves on the dojo,also learn the special techniques after finishing a chapter. He's Nearly impossible to finish with just the basic Meele you start with

I never got past an infamous invisible road glitch. I tried it on a few different PCs even but it was always there. I did play it on PS2 and liked it despite the glitches and jank. It had the potential to be one of the best PS2 games if only they had put some more time into it. It needed an extra 6 months of development.
