Luxoflux invites grown-up players back for another game of "good cop (or) bad cop" in this follow-up to 2003's L.A.-based
action-adventure. As in the original
True Crime, players take the role of an unorthodox law enforcement officer, and by their actions and in-game choices, determine the character's morality as they play through the story. In
True Crime: New York City, the hero is a former gang member named
Marcus Reed, who uses his hard-knocks schooling to powerful effect in the gritty underworld of the Big Apple. As in
Streets of L.A.,
New York City missions play out in freely roamed,
GTA3-style environments, stocked with plenty to see and do even when
Marcus isn't working towards a specific mission goal. Key characters are voiced by accomplished screen actors, including
Christopher Walken,
Laurence Fishburne, and
Mickey Rourke, with
Marcus Reed portrayed by
Avery Waddell.
