True Crime: New York City is the sequel to True Crime: Streets of LA. Like the first game, it was developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision.Marcus Reed is a member of his father's gang. Several years later, he appears to be betrayed by a friend and declared dead. However, he returns as a bloody mess to kill Kev Lar, the man responsible for setting him up. After killing him, Terry Higgins, a cop, saves his life from a gang member and agrees to arrest him. He doesn't like Marcus killing and threatens him to do as he says or he's on his own forever.Five years later, Marcus is working for the NYPD and works under Lt. Dixon. Victor Navarro, the chief, does not like this. After passing his test, Marcus is driven to see his father, Isaiah, to show he's not a criminal anymore. Terry stops in a place for a deal but seemingly dies in an explosion. Since then, Marcus plans on tracking down the four crime leaders to avenge his death. |

Unexpected Gameplay Change |
| | True Crime: New York City (Video Game) / int_1467a30c |
comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The final boss fight (in the bad ending) is a 2D side-scrolling punch-out in which you need to punch your opponent off the other side of the stage, a significant shift from the game's two earlier melee boss fights which utilized the game's standard combat engine. The good ending has no boss fight. |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Terry actually won, Marcus wiped out the four crime families leaving Terry free to ride off into the sunset with a fortune in mob money. However, Terry makes the decision to reveal his deception and try and cut Marcus in on the action out of loyalty to Marcus. This ends up getting him killed by Marcus in both endings (either Marcus straight up executes him in rage in the bad ending, or he dies during a chase when Marcus tries to arrest him in the good ending). |
