True Crime: Streets of LA has a lot of soul, which drew me in right from the start. I was intrigued by the 'light' and 'dark' paths you can take, essentially offering two main storylines for the price of one. The branching storylines as you progress add to the excitement.
However, the worst parts of the game are the shooting mechanics and boss fights. I had to resort to using Cheat Engine to give myself healing options just to get through them. I can't imagine how console players tolerated the timed scenarios and button-mashing fights, although consoles did have cheats that the PC version lacks. That's right! The PC version doesn't provide unlock cheats or God Mode.
Despite its flaws, I'm grateful that you're preserving this game. Hopefully, the next installment has better reviews and improved gameplay, as suggested by video reviews. Keep up the good work!

Couldn't get the ISO version to work after installation, but the ripped version works and seems to have the music and everything. Works on Windows 10 with a Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatability

Good old True Crime. I love this game! It's too sad that it didn't got too much attention and was forgotten through time.
By the way, for those who might have a bug with grey screen: Just right click on this game's exe file and set compatibility mode with Windows XP SP3 or earlier and that will fix it.
And if anyone has problems with stretches textures of grass or side of the road then there is d3d file on pc gaming wiki. Download it and put it in to your game's folder. That will fix any texture problem.

I see that some people claim the game has a virus. Can anyone actually confirm this, or is it a false positives that some antivirus programs detect by mistake and others do not?

does the RIP version remove the "SafeDisc" DRM?
just wondering if this is worth a try on SteamDeck/linux as theDRM sounds like disabled by default on Vista & above?
bob 2023-04-10 0 point
anyone get working on Steam Deck?
i installed on PC & transfered files, normally works, but just black screen.
Tried various protons & Bottles. Using bottles showed a new error maybe old DRM related?
would love to get working to have ability to use right stick or Track pad to shoot.
Ive tried ps2 & xbox emu but cant go back to using left stick to aim. Really can configure around it as need left stick to move normally when not in aim mode.

Used to play this so much back on my xbox, and then on ps2... It just does not run well enough on any emulators, this really is the best way to play besides buying a ps2, xbox etc
This version runs perfectly for me.
Just download the rip version at the top and run the exe, everything is safe
Never had issue with this site

Do I still need to download an emulator for me to play this? or I can play it right away after downloading?

When I try to start the game. It just goes to a black screen, then closes on me.

Moin,
When trying to change the language ingame, it crashes, does anyone have a fix or patch?

I had a lot of fun with this one. It's one of several GTA3-likes that had a large open city to play in. It's mostly driving but also some guns and fighting. The city does have a lot of landmarks in it; it's from that sweet spot in gaming where the 3D stuff was getting a little better, but it didn't need a supercomputer to run.
The stories I've read from other players about scenarios the mission generator would build are the best. One time I went to go deal with some dudes that were chicken fighting. I show up, everyone runs, I chase one dude, lose him, and find out someone stole my cop car by the time I got back and now all I got are a couple of chickens!
Another player told me of the time he got a call for a domestic disturbance. He shows up and it's two women fighting. LOL, this game was progressive before its time!

It has been 15 years since I played this game and for some reason, it popped into my head at work. Glad I remembered it. Time to relive some memories of simpler times :)

I was going to play the game, but it removes itself. That's because of my antivirus thinking it is a virus. it's a false positive.

I was about to check the game out myself(Yes, i have the game legally on the gamecube) on pc, but when i launch the EXE of the game, it removes itself but not the files. Maybe it's an anti-piracy measure?

YO there are still comments on this game in June 2020?? Are y'all have sudden nostalgia and are looking to burn time in quarantine with childhood games like me?

Sure ill take a look.
Tried emulating PS2 & GC versions but forgot how dodgy control scheme was, using left stick to aim, instead of right. Looking forward to seeing enhanced graphics and framerates hopefully not locked to 30-60fps.
Need some 120fps Snoopdog action :P

The game does work. It has all everything. I'm even making some videos on it if you want to check them out on my youtube (which should hopefully start soon). The only problem i have is that it can crash randomly and you can't disable full screen.

@SleepyGoose
any luck?
Any chance we can get ISO?
Uneasy about using Rips
SleepyGoose 2020-05-29 0 point
Giving this download a try. There's another download out there but it gave me Castlevania...
I don't want to have to resort to buying it off Amazon, but i may have to should this one not work.

bob 2020-04-20 0 point
has anyone tried? I dont normally download RIPs, but there isnt an alternative, like original ISO.
Any plans to upload a ISO??

If i remember right, to get Snoop & his car, you had to find something like 50 bones around the city. Atleast thats what i did back on the Xbox in 2002 i think
