comment |
A 2003 wide-open sandbox game for 6th generation consoles and PC, developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision, where you play as Nick Kang, a Chinese-American cop in L.A., in the vein of irreverent action-comedies such as Beverly Hills Cop. It is noted for several things: Mixing gunplay with martial arts, being really funny, and allowing the plot to progress even if you fail every single mission (though failure does prompt many different branchings and will affect how good an ending you reach).Also notable for the fact that it pulls yet another sudden Genre Shift during the latter part of the Good ending, where Nick descends underneath the city and starts fighting zombies and dragons, in a homage to Big Trouble in Little China.It was followed by a sequel, True Crime: New York City, which was not nearly as well-received by critics or fans. A third game, True Crime: Hong Kong, was in production before being cancelled in 2011; though it did eventually see release under publisher Square Enix, it was no longer a True Crime game as Square Enix did not own the license, and so it was released under the title Sleeping Dogs (2012) in August 2012. |

Multiple Endings |
| | True Crime: Streets of LA (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 |
comment |
Multiple Endings: There are about six endings in total. Two for each path you can take (Good Cop, Neutral Cop, and Bad Cop). If Nick dies in any of these paths on the final level, it's a Downer Ending. If you survive in the Bad and Neutral paths, it's only a Bittersweet Ending. The Golden Ending is completing the last mission for the Good path. |

Karma Meter |
| | True Crime: Streets of LA (Video Game) / int_276ad49e |
comment |
Karma Meter: Perform non-lethal takedowns (like shooting a guy in the arm) gets you Good Points while shooting them in the head is Bad.note Unless they're packing heat and shoot at you first. Those are just the easiest ways to affect the karma meter. Reckless driving is bad, lethal take-downs are bad, property damage is bad, stealing is bad, and in some cases, causing car accidents is bad (but if you find someone that wasn't wearing their seat-belt after a crash, it's a wash) and while killing a cop is pretty damn bad, shooting that cop (unlike running him over with a vehicle) is reprehensible enough to immediately elevate the Karma Meter (if it isn't high enough by then) and alert the cops. Conversely, stopping random crimes is good, and frisking people without cause and finding something illegal is good (What Fourth Amendment?). In the Nintendo GameCube version, neither points nor the Karma Meter is affected regarding property damage. When driving, no tree, parking meter, or traffic light should stand in your way. |

Sword and Gun: Well, fist and gun, anyway. Nick is able to shoot or beat the crap out of anyone and can switch to either whenever he wants. Most story missions are designated as either shooting or fighting missions, though; the adaptability mostly just comes into play when you're cruising the streets. |

Bittersweet Ending: The Bad and Neutral Endings. The Bad Ending has Nick defeating General Kim, however, Kim plummets to his death and many pieces of the puzzle are still missing. The Neutral Ending has Nick subduing Rocky, however Cary dies in this path, and the secret of what happened to Nick's father dies with Rocky as Rosie shoots him to save Nick. George monologues on how nothing is perfect and encourages the player to try again. |

Precision F-Strike |
| | True Crime: Streets of LA (Video Game) / int_bc00493f |
comment |
Precision F-Strike: Demonstrated not by the game but by the protagonist, Nick Kang. For an M-rated game, Nick just says the F-word as much as anyone in a PG-13 movie. He says, "Stay the fuck down!" to a criminal in fighting mode during a sandbox stage among his one-liners. But you can still hear the F-word more frequently in the rest of the game, from the songs in the soundtrack to some of L.A.'s citizens to Snoop Dogg. But also the dialogue in the cutscenes plays out like a PG-13 film as it's devoid of F-words or really strong language. |

comment |
Orgasmic Combat: Played for Laughs in a Literal-Minded sense. During a couple of the fist-fight levels, Nick will end up fighting women in S+M outfits. If he successfully uses one of his special moves on one of them, she has an Immodest Orgasm as she flies backward. |

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Nick Kang. If you press the draw weapon button while he's in a level restricted to fist fighting, he will push his hands into his coat as if to draw them, then shake his head and make some comment about how it would be too easy, before going right back to the fisticuffs. |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Nick and Rosie don't get along with each other. Rosie thinks Nick is a sociopath while Nick prefers to fly solo. |

Pass the Popcorn: When Nick enters a fistfight with street criminals, nearby pedestrians will sometimes begin crowding around the combatants and cheer them on. |

Attack Hello: Early in the game, Nick enters a building and is attacked out of nowhere by a man in a gi, triggering a fight scene. Once it's over, their conversation reveals that the man is Nick's younger brother and this is their version of a friendly greeting. |

Attack! Attack! Attack!: It's extremely rare to find criminals who will give up when you flash your badge. Almost all criminals will attack you or run away when confronted. Several offenders of minor crimes will go through extreme amounts to get away from Nick. The worst example would be common muggers stealing cars and taking off to the other side of Los Angeles when confronted. Also, those in street fights will forget about whatever it was they were fighting about and focus their aggressions on you. |
