True crime new york is such a shameless clone of gta, that is just not done as well. You play an undercover cop, who has to infiltrate gangs etc, and build reputation. You can do questionable acts, like deal drugs, kill people, break laws etc, to gain criminal notority (but will make your cop buddies question your real motives, and make them more likely to "blow" your cover), or you can help the cops by stopping robberies and so on. This is one neat thing about this game, you can kinda decide on what motivates your character, is he a good guy pretending to be bad, or vice versa?

Marcus Reed is the main character in the game and is part of many gang adventures which majorly risk his life. He I rescued by the NY police department and becomes a NY detective in which the game sets off. It is a very straightforward story line which is very addictive to follow.

You play a cop that wonders the streets of new York with various missions and tasks to go and arrest people and spy on them etc. Your role is determined by what kind of character you enjoy playing, you can be the traditional 'good cop' or 'bad cop' routine but its more fun, you can punch people, steal cars, knock innocent people to the ground or just generally try and stop crime, too much bad stuff and you get told off, it feels as though they've tried to put a grand theft auto spin on it with several ...  Read the complete review
