Memories of Great Video Games #6: True Crime Streets Of LA💥💣🔥🚗🔫🎱

❗Hello stemmians today❗👻 I come to bring you a new post to continue remembering childhood games and today we will talk about true crime streets of LA, which was a game that I played also on the ps2 platform and I enjoyed it a lot since It had a lot of similarity with the games of the saga of grand theft auto and its history also gave me good hours of games, having said that ❗let's start❗🐻🎮🚀

True Crime: LA Streets is a videogame that was mainly developed by luxoflux and was published by activision for the platforms of Xbox, Plastation2 and Game Cube in 2003, and besides that it was later officially published for Windows and Mac in 2004, and so much so that the game bequeathed to be greatest hits for playstation 2 in 2004, and also in Xbox classics for Xbox and playe'rs choice for game cube and in its sequel to true crime new york city that was released in the fall of 2005, and although it received horrible criticism from some communities of gaming, because they complained about graphic and technical problems and that some players did not emphasize the protagonist of this release, in addition to having much similarity with the videogame of grand thef auto 3, but despite of all that this delivery of the game achieved its merit because it had good aspects to offer for us players and enjoy the game freely on the platform that there we were obtained, true crime is an open-world video game of action and adventure that focuses from a third-person perspective, in which the player controls Detective Nicholas Kang of the elite operations division "EOD" which was a unit autonomous by hand of the regular LAPD, the game was also one of the first non-grand theft cars to open a world of action and adventure after grand thef auto 3 in 2001, and as such was a game labeled by many as a clone of the grand thef auto as the mechanics that the central game are identical to grand thef auto 3, and his successor in 2002 grand thef auto vice city, in which we could travel freely around the city and order vehicles and do what we wanted in terms of attack and / or kill innocent civilians and progress through a history of at your own leisure, spending time also crossing the city at will or as we wish, notwithstanding the main difference of this go of the grand thef auto videogames is that in true crime the player controls a police officer and as such the real crime has been called the clone of gta 3 where we the player play as a policeman, the game also involves four main types of mission, in which each with his own unique game, whether it was shooting, fighting, stealth and driving, in many levels of the game and even if the missions we were doing failed, the storyline would continue and sometimes with a different opening scene for the next level, sometimes with a version alternative of the level, occasionally by ramification in an argument completely different from what could happen if the outcome of the mission were the opposite, during the shooting missions the game is self-directed to the nearest opponent, that is, if we wanted to change the target to another opponent we had to do it manually, or when the player was in shooting mode, we could also enter a targeting precision mode, in any Oomento, at this point also the game switch to first person, and approaches a target and passed in slow motion momentarily also while in precision orientation, if the orientation reticle becomes momentarily slow while in precision orientation if the grid became green the player can hit the enemy with a neutral and non-lethal shot, and if the player shoots when the reticle is red, the enemy was brutally killed and instantly, we could also take the cover of the shootings by firing from behind When the opportunity presented itself, we also had the freedom to pick up any weapon fallen by the enemies, once the ammunition of these weapons was exhausted, Kang dropped the weapon and would use his standard edition revolver, which has to be recharged never ran out of ammunition in close combat, the player also had four attack s main, and we had high kick, low kick, punch and grapple, after hitting the enemies in a number of times repeatedly the enemy would be stunned at which time the player could perform a combo by pressing a combination of series of buttons that during the stealth missions the player automatically placed in stealth mode.

We could also approach enemies from behind and kill them, also hit objects or walk on broken glass or plastic bags will make nearby enemies aware of the presence of the player in that place, in driving missions, may also imply that already is trying to choose some other car, and it is shown on the screen if the car health meter is empty the car is near destruction, when it comes to another car the health meter of that car will also be shown on the screen, when the player is hanging from another car, another meter called "tail meter" will appear on the screen with three sections and a movement arrow, if the arrow is in the upper section, it means that the player is too close and must rewind if the arrow is in the lower section, means that the player is losing targets and that it must be accelerated, as such the player must also try to keep the arrow of the central section as much as possible, during normal driving missions we had the player to solve random crimes given by the radio dispatcher, in which our character could have access to 24/7 facilities throughout the video game to improve our driving or wrestling skills and even shooting skills, the 24 // facilities were also only accessible if the player had an available badge, the badges are obtained by acquiring reward points, which are then they become a badge, the entrance fee for a facility was 24/7, it costs a badge and the player must complete a challenge to win that upgrade and if they fail, they must spend another badge for trying it again, the rewards points are also necessary so that the player heals at a pharmacy or has the damage done to the car in a garage, the amount of points deducted depends also the level of damage in each case we solve, we could also earn rewards points for arresting, killing criminals or solving crimes and completing missions, points are also deducted for killing civilians or failed missions if the player also a "Good cop / Bad Cop" meter which stated that if the player arrested criminals and solved crimes and even shot the opponents with neutralizing shots and hit in a place that instead of killing the opponents incapacitated them in addition to being able to kill criminals in stealth missions we could also get Good Cop points and their embargo, all this depended on our behavior in the streets, depending on whether we behaved well or badly our exchange profile totally, and if the score bad cop player was very high civilians will begin to attack the protagonist of the game called Kang if the score of bad Kang and another police eventually the swat will try to kill him because the amount of cop Good or bad also meets a frequent of the determination of the end of the video game.

In the aspect of the plot, the videogame welcomes us and we start playing as Det. Nick Kang, expressed colloquially by Russell Wong, was recruited by the autonomous elite division of the LAPD at the behest of Chief Wanda Parks, Kang is the son of Henry Wilson a detective whose disappearance twenty years ago has remained unsolved and was recently suspended from police department for repeated incidents of excessive force but Parks believes he has what it takes to help the organization of the EOD as he believes breaking a case implies that a series of bombings in Chinatown, Kang a hunch tells him that the triad is behind him, park also associates with the det. Rosie Velasco, an expat turned police, Kang and Velasco go to a restaurant in Chinatown where a member of the triad is seen harassing the owner, during the subsequent confrontation of this event, he is shot and Parks takes an apb in the The triad's getaway car fleeing from the site, but soon it is seen in a Chinese bar and Kang goes there learning that the driver works for Jimmy Fu, a small criminal and Kang visits fu, who reveals to him "something big is point of fall "and also confesses that he is working for big Chong, an executor of the triad of the old wu that many think is a complete myth, in this room George an old sergeant at the table, tells Velasco about the background of Kang, his father Henry Wilson is also said to have been involved in a drug scandal in the 1970s, during which he disappeared and internal affairs believed that Wilson jumped into the city George never believed him, meanwhile Kang queues Chong and sees that he manages to bring large amounts of money to a building owned by cyprus holdings, a company linked to the Russian mafia, Kang follows Chong to a spa where he observes and knowing a Russian called rocky, complains that Chong is not washing Chinatown's money fast enough, Chong also tells rocky that the old wu is miserable but this to rocky does not bother him as he tells Chong " the general is in the city looking for his money, that's bad news for everyone ", to this Kang confronts them killing Chong but rocky manages to escape from the site alive, and this is a fragment of the story that he offered us the true crime video game and honestly I kept playing for many hours as it was quite interesting to see how the events were developing as we went through the story more and more, among other things we also had enough characters in which we could interact and see what happened with them to As happened the events of the story mode, in addition to the other characters mentioned above we had characters LIKE THE Agent of the fbi maasterson, also to don rafferty, also to misha, and to Ricky, or chyort, or to have yu kim that in a totally surprising way we realize that he is a general of North Korea, and this seeks to strengthen the position of his country on the world stage by illegal means, and this is working together with rocky and his connections with the Mafia, in other things the wu ancient that I mentioned earlier it is said that this mysterious figure is the creator of the Chinese triad, and although many only see it as a myth or a legend, the truth is that Nick learns the truth of this legend while chasing rocky and the triads, and in the later branches is seen as Nick's mentor many times, this helps him escape sticky situations such as at one point this releases Nick's handcuffs when he was captured at the airport and appeared at a scene also to get Nick out of a police car, and it is known that he was a Chinese mercenary in the old days of his youth, as curious and very hilarious data we can also unlock a secret character to be able to travel the city with him and it is nothing more and nothing less than Snoop Dogg, since this is a playable character and that can be unlocked in the game with his own minigame and quotes, and this is unlocked either by collecting 30 dogg bones scattered by all the angels or by introducing more simply and somewhat mischievously tricky using a code of tricks, among other things the settings the video game also seemed quite balanced, since the game had an extensive template, and convert the recreation of a large part of the angels, and most of Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica with most of the names of its streets, and places of interest and roads, however and nevertheless there are unmarked neighborhoods surrounding the game, and we players will not be able to enter these parts of the city since we're just going to respawn with Nick again on the nearest street in the video game, the video game in general has a lot of curious places of the angels as the tower of the bank of the United States, and the sign of Hollywood and the pier of Santa Monica and Marina del Rey, and the video game had several endings thus qualifying between a bad end and average end but this will not tell to not ruin the e experience of game if not or have played yet, since I invite you to play it totally, because even though it is a fairly old video game it is always good to remember a bit these iconic video games of our childhood.
