True Crime: New York City (Xbox, 2005)

ths story line is very in depth. we start out with markus all bloody going into a thug house at the begging of the game soaked in blood and looking for vengence. you will be surprised that the first 4 minutes of game play is all out shoot outs with very distructable enviroments with massive blood shed and screaming hood rats that are literaly half naked. sounds promising already. you will then go into a tutorial which is oddly simple for the most part, but a little of the glitchy side, not too bad though. the game is all about the gta franchise with side missions, buying clothing for your charater, sleeping at a local run down cheap hotel just to restore strength and buying your own custom sound tracks at any record stores. of course being a game thats attempting to be to realistic in alot of ways, since you are a cop you get a paycheck ever so often from your police station to help pay for goods. the more good deeds and good cop stuff you do, the higher the paycheck. then you could pull the billy badass and sell drugs to pawnshops. hold up the burger joint and harass the manger for sweet green by gun point to his head. the drving scheme is the exactly the same as gta. the only defference is there is a icon with your car on the screen that indicates where it has taken damage. kinda like the game distruction derby for those who remember. even when people decide its open season on your vehicle is shows where the gun shots is. this game has it all. but the game has some skips and glitches on it that can be over looked very easily. if you can find this title for under 20 bucks and a realy big gta fan, you will be shocked how good this game is. it had very realistic graphics, very interactive enviroments, over use of the f bomb and body count city. if your looking for somthing thats just gore fest 3000 try a game like bloodrayne 2 or suffering ties that bind, if your wanting somthing to retry the gta kind of pace, then this is it. i give it a 4..... out of 5.
