Inspired by Hong Kong action flicks and American crime dramas, True Crime: Streets of L.A. puts the player in the shoes of Nick Kang, a rogue ex-cop whose personal vendetta with the L.A. underground nets him as many enemies with the "Force" as with the syndicates he's sworn to destroy. Developed by Luxoflux, the creators of the successful Vigilante 8 series, the game blends multiple genres into a single cinematic game. Action in True Crime: Streets of L.A. blends seamlessly between car chases, shootouts, foot pursuits and hand-to-hand combat as players try to take down the mob. Additionally, the game allows players to explore a living, breathing re-creation of the City of Angels, complete with hundreds of miles of authentic streets and popular L.A. landmarks.
