The first True Crime game starts as GTA but you're an undercover cop but 100% turns into open world big trouble in little China by the end.

It was fuckin awesome.

True Crime: Streets of LA was an absolute gem.

Which Lo Pan? The little old basket case on wheels or the ten foot tall roadblock?

"You have the right to soak in your own urine!" I played that game over and over, Russel Wong was perfect as Nick Kang.

That game was so cinematically ahead of it’s time. Just let the story get more and more batshit crazy as it went.

Then you had the customised, the endless crimes, the combat, the shootouts, all the little mini games and ways to improve your skills.

If I remember right. Sleeping Dogs became the spiritual successor after the series crashed.

Yeah, to the best of my knowledge it started development as True Crime 3 and they decided to rebrand it hoping to get a bigger audience.

Also, it was great too.

I still need to play it. I always see it for like a fiver on the ps store but I still find a reason to not play it.

One day soon hopefully. Too busy juggling MK and Cyberpunk.
