Game modes:Single player
Story:True Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Show more

OMG! I loved this game so much as a kid and still even go back and play it at times. I would pay anything to see it GOG. Great game and its sequel was okay too.

I do recall playing this on Xbox original. I believed I once played every path there is. I didn't even fully know the concept of clones in gaming at that time. I kinda knew it was somewhat similar to GTA series. You play as a detective that's literately taking down the bad guys. This might be famous for the bonus mode. Where you play as rapper Snoop Dogg with a huge time limit. Simply stop as many crimes as possible. This also put some effort into the fighting mechanics. Shooting can be fun for a while. I would say among the best GTA clones I played. The music is rememberable to a degree. It does play off good or bad system. Which started to become more popular in gaming. You also got a rememberable protagonist. Parts of the cut scenes felt somewhat like a decent crime movie. I do think a lot of people would absolutely love this in their GOG collections.

I've played the PS2 version of this game a few years back. It may be a GTA clone and a bit janky, but I find it stands out in it's own way, it's pretty fun & the humor is memorable.
ah man... the memories, this game was just the definition of COOL when it came out! The diving and slow-mo mechanics, the SOUNDTRACK, the humour all of it was great! The little dance routine in the hidden bonus scene I LITERALLY LEARNED THE ENTIRE DANCE AS A KID LOL. That song is STILL in my playlist what a classic. PRESERVE THIS LEGENDARY GAME ♥♥♥♥♥♥
For as much as they're compared to the gta games there is nothing like the true crime games and there being nowhere to play these gems is criminal. Some of my fav memories from the ps2 era of gaming. Hearing Christopher Walkin again would be a dream come true

I had this game on GameCube. It is mostly the reason I am interested in similar games just like it currently available. I think it had alternate endings. I thought that was pretty cool.

A cool game with an open world and character progression with different abilities. The story is decent, and I think there are even two endings. There's a lot of humor. I played it back in 2004. For me, it was kind of like GTA: Vice City but about a cop, with slow-mo mechanics, advanced weapons, and hand-to-hand combat. The game is outdated both technically and graphically, but it has some amazing features you won’t find in other games.
A great soundtrack, a new style of action game and the style of a GTA game, True Crime: Streets of L.A. has it all. Easy to lose track of time playing this game with the variety of missions and side quests.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
