True Crime: New York City can give you some fun, but the bugs and glitches makes the score fall hard.

User Rating: 6 | True Crime: New York City PS2
True Crime: New York City put you in the shoes of Marcus Reed, a gangster that becomes a cop. As you play, you'll have to clean the city, solve major cases do informant missions, fight on the arenas and win races on the streets. For every act that you do, you'll gain carreer points and "Good" or "Bad" cop points depending on how is that actions.
As you gain career points you will level up as a cop, granting you new weapons and skills.

The storyline is not deep and sometimes makes you want to go to the game faster. There's is nothing innovative or surprising in the game, and the conversations are not so good.

Cleaning the streets can be a fun thing, there is a lot of different crimes happening in the town, you'll have fun discovering and solving most of them. The arenas and races are fun too and the informant missions have some interesting ones.

You can level up really fast. If you won't focus only in the major case, you'll possibly get the first rank on the first one, Most of the things you unlock are really good, but some of them are useless. Like driving skill to drive on two wheels (you'll possibly never use that). There's a lot of different weapons, and the fact that you can carry a limited amount of them makes the game more realistic.

The gameplay ins't a problem too, locking and shooting is easy, and finding a neutralizing spot in the target is fun. Driving is easy and fun too, but chasing's can be a pain in the ass (read more to know why).

The final good thing is the graphics. Most of them are really good, if you change the camera while driving you'll see that the streets have an amazing reflex.

The bad things in this game is the diversity of bugs in the game. Everytime you play it you'll find a new one. Some that i found: suddenly fall into the ground forcing you to load the game again, when you try to pick a car the driver goes backwards a lot and then you appear inside the car, and a lot more. The physics in collisions are really a joke! Grab a firemen truck and see the cars flying 100 feet when you hit then. Chasing can suck, even if you surround the criminal he can find a way to get out.

Finally, True Crime: New York City can provide you some fun for an amount of time, but you'll find so many glitches and bugs that you'll probably never play that game again after beating it.

Hope you guys enjoy the review, it's my first one and i'm Brazilian, sorry it there are any mistake!
