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.
In addition to the full game and support materials, the "Collector's Edition" of
True Crime: New York City includes a map of New York City with mission objectives marked, a DVD featuring trailers, music, interviews, and other "Making Of" of video content, and it comes in a special tin case.
