True Crime: Streets of L.A., Activision's take on the blockbuster Grand Theft Auto III, puts players in the role of a Los Angeles detective thirsting for revenge. As Nick Kang, players comb the streets from inside a variety of vehicles as they embark on a series of 20 missions in a story inspired by Hong Kong cinema. Unlike Grand Theft Auto III, however, players are working for the law rather than fighting it. Missions range from stopping robbery attempts to apprehending criminals based on tips gathered from informants, and players are free to leave their vehicles at any time to continue the mission on foot.
Players will also be able to complete 100 sub-quests outside of the main story to earn extra money and answer one's ranking and reputation. Various stops, such as weapon ranges, dojos, and car simulators, allow players to improve their character's skills in hand-to-hand combat, use of firearms, and driving.
