Overview - True Crime: Streets of L.A.

Ponty - delicate matter. We can say illusory. We can say, no matter. But skillfully scattered in different directions, it works wonders.Here Activision, for example, so skillfully spread his fingers, PR True Crime: Streets of LA, that all willy-nilly had to believe that it is something incredibly cool and worthy to compete with GTA.


Generally, Ponte True Crime- is the cornerstone around which is built the entire game.Everything here is done on such a scale, with such aplomb, not children, that it is time to surrender immediately, lift the legs up and reverently before figet coolest cop action movie nowadays.But as often happens, too much energy was spent on pmar too hard to convince publishers and developers have unconditional murderous his creation.As a result, in comparison with the scale of the promises the game was just zilch. If you ignore thrown in our direction Ponte and do not keep it for evil to Activision, we can recognize the True Crime very stout fighter who, nevertheless, stars from the sky is not enough.

NICK KANG against Los Angeles

The protagonist of True Crime, Nick Kang - the world's coolest cop, one form of which frightens the Los Angeles punks (Yakuza, Russian Mafia, etc.).At least, he has written on his face, that he believes it holy.Naturally, such a charge Supercop investigation superprestupleniya give in companion superemansipirovannuyu beauty and a pair of straight-away no guns. Inspired by his own coolness Nick takes to the streets of Los Angeles.

The main pride of the developers is the accuracy with which they reconstructed the city. 800 square kilometrov- is not a joke.The area available for the study, more than Vice City and Liberty City together. Twice. In this sense, the guys from Luxoflux wiped his nose all.Fans of aimless wanderings from the city in search-don't-know-what-but-not-what-not-live-I will be delighted. But the real freedom and ends.To reel in Los Angeles were not quite so aimless, developers have taken care of that on the streets has consistently occurred various petty crimes.Their prevention is not strictly necessary, but at first amused.Took you a crowd of teenagers translate grandmother across the street in the wrong place, parked there a gangster stolen car under the sign "No Parking" ensued whether the street shootout with international conventions banned cluster bombs - all Nick could stick his nose.
And Nick, respectively, get points "good cop" sludge "bad cop." Unfortunately, after the first dozen such "investigations" want to forget about them and never forget.For all the seeming variety of offenses taking place, it's always limited to a shootout and the massacre or car chases and shoot-outs and subsequent massacre.Just how interested in this aspect of the gameplay, nice is the fact that we are forced to patrol the streets of the city as a punishment (!) Because we do not fully complied with any plot tasks.

His feet and legs!

In good, in True Crime should only be done story missions, since they represent a real interest.The story itself does not possess great originality, but the story is quite well-served to warm up the whole time our interest. In fact, if not for her, and story missions were limited exclusively to the car chases, shootouts and scuffle. And so it turns Mighty boevichek.

A typical assignment is as follows.Nick received a tip-off (say, in a kindergarten in Los Angeles for the last year has increased by half the amount of heroin production, it is necessary to understand), is immersed in a car and going to a destination (forway, of course, ending on Hollywood Boulevard to ... uh-uh ... pick up ... uh-uh ... testosterone levels in the blood). Get to your door, Nick knocks her and begins a massacre.It is of two types: melee and firearms. The first failed developers to fame. Nick and-so looks like Jet Li, and in the melee, and even more so.All very impressive waving their arms, shouting obscene Japanese words and, most importantly, break furniture.Oh, how can we break the furniture! A fight in a bar just the way it should end with: any of a table and chairs, around broken glass and dead bodies, corpses, corpses.Skirmishes have been just as good, if not control. Nick moves too slowly and clumsily, and sighting system could be better. And dual wield (otherwise the police are not able to cool) very good uplifting.

What happened to you in Los Angeles?

If what True Crime and defeated GTA, it is in terms of graphics. But, in all honesty, be called GTA technologically advanced game can only step on the throat of his conscience.Hence, the victory is, quite frankly, is not high.Los Angeles True Crime is a common gathering of hastily hewn with an ax houses unconvincing trees and wandering the streets of the square men.The protagonists, however, prettier. They even animated fingers! Indoors the picture a little more cheerful, but a special wealth of interior also is not striking. Hitman 2 and Splinter Cell can sleep peacefully.
What Activision introduced us in the end, of course, very far from the initial promises. Even the not too successful in many respects The Getaway get interesting True Crime. Nevertheless, the game is made to last. Just do not expect that it will make you lose sleep over.

Kruche only eggs no limit to perfection

For each completed task Nick gets a certain number of points, which can then be spent to repair the car, hospital treatment and pumping. Without it, it is simply impossible to beat the game.Visiting placed around the city shooting galleries and Gyms, Nick learns new techniques for doing shootings and unarmed combat. The process of learning is a fun mini-game (each time, new), so that pumping can not be boring by definition.

Dual wield as bequeathed to us a great ARNI

Shoot them with two hands Nick knows from the outset. But at the same time to shoot two enemies - it is a skill that will have to buy the course.Skirmishes in the True Crime is very similar to what we saw in Dead to Rights, but they lack the luster. Even slow-downs, which are now does not only lazy, and they are not too spectacular. But Nick is able to take up arms on the floor, without bending. It looks great, and such are not present.
