User Rating: 9 | True Crime: Streets of LA XBOX
Disclaimer------------this is not GTA. And this is not supposed to be. This is game that combines many many, aspects of different action games. It breaks these things up by making it missioned based, what i mean by that is that it loads each mission, and in each mission you are in a seperate place, not just a secluded place in the city. This does not ditract from the gameplay like some think it will, it merely makes the gameplay all that much smoother. The graphics are by far the shinnest and most smooth. The reflects are great and the explosions of glass as you hit a car are very nicely done. The sound, although I do not personaly like rap, fits this game perfectly. And if you do not like the music in the game, you can add your own with the xbox custom soundtrack. A bonus note with the sound, there are three areas of sound, Cruisin, Fast action, Slow action. The crusin is when you are in a car, for me its Led Zepplin. The slow action is when you get in a scuffle with some punks and is a nice mix of techno and rock. The fast action is when you get into an all out brawl with guns blazing and fist flying, this is done with nice rock music like the kind you would here in The Matrix and other action movies. In the end I do believe this game held its promise and is one of the best games I have played in a long time.
