Well, here we are. part 2 of this forgotten games series, and today we are staying in late 2005 game releases. And today the focus will be on True Crime: New York City. Released on November 16th, 2005. I'm going to be honest here; I just started playing this game seriously after a while, like 2 weeks ago, and to be honest, besides the horrible driving. I found the shooting and fighting to be a little bit fun; it's in the okay tier, not good or great, just okay, and as for the story. So far I've got to say it's top-notch. The best part of this game is no doubt the story because you can get to choose whether to be an evil sadistic cop or a genuinely good cop. I'm halfway through the game now, so please no spoilers about the story. You're welcome to give your opinions about the game overall, but no spoilers, please.

I liked this game more than the previous game but I had to stop playing this game because FPS drop was too much. I can play games on low FPS but I didn't want my PS2 to explode or something lol. I'd better play it on PC sometime.

i'm playing it on dolphin ( aka gamecube emulator ) and the fps is smooth and fine. it's the ps2 version that's the issue i think
 
Only reason I know this series is because I picked up the 1st one (Streets of LA) for the Xbox & found out that it displays in glorious 720p resolution on og hhardware. It was great. Because when a game looks good, it feels good! Actually played quite a bit!
Barely touched the 2nd one though, simply because they discarded that high resolution feature. Actually a shame really. Not a bad series though, the narrative is actually good here!

I hope you played the 3rd game at least that we call that game True Crime: Hong Kong in the parallel universe I came from but in your world it's called "Sleeping Dogs"!!! lolol
 
well good to see some love for this game. most game reviewers i've seen on youtube rate it averagely
Due to GTA fan bois open world games that take place in modern world always rated low for they compare them with GTA even when these games have no intention to be like GTA. And then why True Crime games are not really positively popular is they are "cop simulator games". When GTA is about crime simulator which seem better, cop simulator games seem like nun simulators and hence low score lol.

Nah lol you've lost it mate. GTA Games from that era are on a whole different tier compared the true crime games. Point is True Crime are good but nothing like gta. the difference in quality is obvious between the 2 series

So what? Especially because of that, as I said, people were like "why I would play True Crime when I have GTA at home?". Or are you not aware how people compare any modern open world games in such "similarity" to GTA no matter what and hate them by default as "GTA clones" just to hate it? lol
