Inspired by Hong Kong action films, True Crime: Streets of L.A. lets players assume the role of tough-as-nails detective Nick Kang, who is bent on settling a personal vendetta with the L.A. underworld. As Kang, you will be able to dispense your own personal brand of justice through automotive combat, a variety of rib cracking martial arts moves and the business end of dual 45s.
Developed by Luxoflux, the creators of the Vigilante 8 series, the game blends multiple genres into a single cinematic action game. Car chases, shootouts, foot pursuits and hand-to-hand combat are all in a day's work when it comes to taking down the Russian and Chinese mobs.
We had the opportunity to chat with Executive Producer Chris Archer and talk about the game.

This is an unavoidable question and you’ve probably been asked several times. but we’ll ask it anyway. Inevitably, True Crime will be compared to GTA and The Getaway. Is True Crime influenced by the GTA franchise? In which areas is True Crime different from GTA and The Getaway?
Archer: Of course all games inspire us as developers and in turn we attempt to take everything to the next level. We love games like GTA and The Getaway as these titles have only encouraged and challenged us to be even better. While True Crime is very unique, we use the top titles in each genre - fighting, shooting and driving - as a litmus test to make True Crime the best that it can be as well as competitive with each of the top products from each genre all in one game.
