I got my hands on a demo of this game, and decided I would post what I though.

In the demo there are two missions. The first is a drivng mission. YOu have two minutes to steel a car, and then get to a certain point. YOu have no guns or anything, so its all about the car. I must say the driving portian of this game is very nice, and I just love the damage model, even though I am still puzzles as to why when you hit a car from behind, the trunk starts on fire.

Next mission is a shooting mission. This is where the fun starts. Run around and shoot guys, and then have fun with the slow motion dives and kung fu fighting. All of it seems very well done. Its like the fighint from Enter the Matrix, but witht he quality of max payne. The only real complaint i have it that it auto targets enemies. I would take the GTA style aiming over this any day, where it doesnt aim unlss you hold down a button.

All in all, this game is shaping up to be fantastic. Everyone has called it a GTA-kiler, and im here to yell you that the boys at rockstar should be sweating there asses off, for GTA is no longer the king of its genre :p

Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Since this is just a demo, i cant answer everyons question, but I will try to answer all I can. And please dont ask where i got the demo, coz im not telling (of course this means someone will be a smart ass and ask, id put my money on shrew :D )

LOL, I remeber that And for anyone who doesnt believe me, i will provide proof. I will put there name on a peice of paper and tape in to my TV, put hotwheels cars on said TV, and then have True Crime playing in the backround. I might even put something else in the picture to prove that its not a coincidance, im just that nice. So anyone who doesnt believe me. Send along your name, and give me a quote or phrase to write down on a piece of paper, and by chum ill create you an image!

I played the game at lallapaloza (sp?) a good month or two. It seemed pretty cool, but I was stuck playing baulders gate 2! To bad it has rap in the soundtrack, hopefully I can change that! Not that I mind rap, but when destroying $hit i prefer rock!

If you know the right people, it wouldn't be too difficult to get the demo probably. As Chaotic said, they had a pretty large demo at E3. Most of the demos that have come out on OXM in the last couple of issues are the exact demos that were at E3. So again...I wouldn't doubt if he had the demo. OXM is saying that they should have a demo in next month's issue too.

True Crime seems like a good rental to me... To be dead honest, I hate the "lock on shooting" idea. If it's anything like Dead To Rights' lock on, I'll pass this game faster than I do currently with gas :D

In that case...

write "Bakeman rules!" :)


Also, I read that you can target the enemies leg/arm/chest/head etc...

But from what you are saying it doesn't sound like it... is this possible in the demo?

I sure hope what I read is true, because it made it sound like you could shoot a guy in the head... but you might have wanted to shoot him in the leg so you could get info from him.

well I got the PS2 demo which sounds like it is slightly different from the Xbox one you have. Mine only gives you a minute to drive around the city. The hand to hand combat was good but the shooting seemed like it needed some work. I think I'll have to wait for the reviews before making a buying decision.

Sorry...between School, Work, Website, and getting my lazy ass of the couch in between, I havnt had time to play the game let alone get a picture of it. I Dont think I am even going to bother, its a waste of my time because in all reality, whethar or not people believe me doesnt change the fact that I have the game.

If I find the time to play in within the next few days, I wil have a pic for you guys, but otherwise just take meh word for it :cheers:

I said I might post them, it was never official. And how does not posting pictures make me a PS2 fanboy? I don't know who stuck the fork up your ass, but you might want to think twice before you go shooting your mouth off. Since your a n00b its quite understandable, but unless you learn to respect other members, you wont find youself welcome here

Good idea. I would suggest, being a noob, not mouthing off to the guys who have been here a while. You won't last long at all. And even if you don't get banned, everyone will hate you. :) Have a nice day!

Enough with the damned noob and fanboy comments. Believe him or not, dont make a big deal about this. You can find screenshots of True Crime everywhere.

OOooOOO touch Viper, he got his hands on a super secret blah blah blah blah blah demo of True Crime.

I think every game that has music in it should have downloadable soundtracks. Does this one? I know where you got the demo from.
