True Crime: Streets of LA is being compared to GTA a little too much. This isn't GTA so it shouldn't be rated that way.
I have been playing the game now for a couple of days, I picked it up for a good solid 50 beans, and I think it's worth every cent.
The game isn't the most stunning game out there, but you have alot of free roaming time in between missions (to build up you're karma). You choose to be a good or bad cop, and you can choose the path you want the story to follow.
The game is easy and doesn't require too much time to beat, that is true and not just something good gamers say. The controls sometimes can anger someone but all in all it is worth the cash flow, even though you could probably get the same out of the game through a rental.
