Chinese triads and Russian gangsters have turned Los Angeles into their own private war-zone. It's time to fight fire with fire. Enter Nick Kang, a renegade cop tossed from L.A.'s finest for repeatedly indulging in excessive force and ignoring property rights. Nick has found the perfect job for his skills set: as a top operative for the Elite Operations Division. His job: take down the crime syndicates wreaking unholy terror on the City of Angels.

Features

Nick Kang wields a wide variety of criminal-crushing techniques. Martial-arts brawls are inspired by Hong Kong action flicks. You can choose between stealth moves and a mind-bending array of bone-crunching grapples, punches, kicks and finishers. In fast-and-furious gun battles, you can wield different weapons in each hand, simultaneously targeting multiple enemies and even performing slo-mo dives worthy of a John Woo movie. Gameplay is occasionally chaotic and the camera angles a bit quirky, but the fun fighting sequences more than make up for it.

The soundtrack boasts no fewer than 50 original songs from the biggest names in West Coast rap, including none other than the king 'o hip-hop himself, Snoop Dogg. True Crime's other drive-time entertainers include Ice Cube, Mac 10, WC, E40, KAM, Caviar, Easy-E Jr., Bad Azz, Damizza, Young Billionaires, Sly Boogy, KoKain and Jay-O-Felony.
