Ships True Crime: New York City for the PC
Licensed from Activision, Inc., True Crime®: New
York City for the PC, being published by Aspyr Media, has been declared Gold
master and has begun shipping today. The game puts players into the role of
Marcus Reed, a former gang member turned cop, who confronts four of New York’s
most deadly crime syndicates as he hunts down the murderer of his mentor, all
while cleaning up neighborhoods from Chinatown to Harlem to Times Square.
Mastering five fighting styles, advanced weaponry, special driving maneuvers and
all-new interrogation tactics, gamers choose to walk the straight line and move
up the police ranks or cross the limits of their authority.
Taking place in a present-day Manhattan, True
Crime: New York City is set in an authentic recreation of the Big Apple, and
includes landmarks, subways, interiors, GPS-accurate streets and real
neighborhoods. If players allow crime to go unchecked in any of Manhattan’s
dynamically changing neighborhoods, buildings and foliage will visibly
deteriorate, the crime rate will soar, the streets will fill with trash,
potholes and unsavory characters. Alternately, if players clamp down on crime in
one of the many neighborhoods, crime rates fall and visual improvements will
indicate the areas progress.
True Crime: New York City is rated “M” (“Mature”
– Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, and
Use of Drugs) by the ESRB and is available for $29.99 through Aspyr’s site,
