From the Manufacturer

Run the streets of New York City as gangster-turned-street-cop Marcus Reed, using and abusing your authority to avenge your mentor’s murder and take control of the city. Arrest, extort, interrogate, use informants, take bribes, brawl, gun down perps, and more in pursuit of your definition of "justice."

Features:

• Street justice: bust criminals, take down gangs, search, seize, extort, take bribes, confiscate, interrogate, use informants, and dispense justice your way--by the book or by indulging in the temptations of the job.
• Run New York City: Regulate the city from Times Square and Harlem to Little Italy, Chinatown, and every neighborhood in between. Take taxis, subways, and enter virtually every building in the city from music stores to clothing stores, clubs, and more.
• Living, breathing city: Your attitude towards crime affects the way it looks and feels. Let crime go unchecked or contribute to it yourself and watch the city fall apart around you. Clean up crime and see it prosper along with your career.
• Everything's a weapon: Tables, stoves, ovens, chairs, machines, and anything else you see can be used to fight your enemies. Additionally, wield police-issued weapons like pistols, grenades, and rifles or use your cash to buy black-market firepower like flamethrowers, semi-automatics, Molotov cocktails, and more.
• Brawl your way: seamlessly choose one of five unique fighting styles to bust up perps depending on your enemy or preference.
• Navigate the 'hoods: Use SUVs, motorcycles, sportscars, police vehicles, trucks, buses, and more to cruise around or gun down enemies. Or take cabs or the subway for direct routes.

I also had the experience of this game failing to run past the title screen, just before the menu should come up. Thank you Mr, Partsch for letting us know that Activision's customer service is as competent as their product testers. And yes, my computer meets the specs required to play the game so buyer beware!

1.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy port from console to PC, September 16, 2006

This review is from: True Crime New York City (CD-ROM)

I bought this game hoping for something similar to the GTA series. The game crashed my PC the first 5 or 6 times I tried to start it. After lowering my resolution (I have an ATI Radeon X700 card), I was able to start the game.

Unfortunately, it is clear from the start that the game is truly intended for joystick/gamepad users. I'm a mouse/keyboard guy. You move your character around using the standard wsdf keys. The mouse control, however, was barely there. Also, to attack, you have to use the keys on the numpad!!!! How the heck are you supposed to move the character around and fight at the same time?

I believe that most of the problems can be attributed to a very sloppy port of this game from console to PC. On a console, this game might be just fine.

Luckily, I only paid $9.99 for this game.
