The xbox version of True Crime got a 9.0, wonder if its going to be better than the gta3/vc pack.

I will probably pick it up some time soon. I'm a little mad that it doesnt support custom soundtracks though. I don't want to listen to rap/Hip-hop the whole time....

if they dont have live support.
Then i really hope the have downloads.
New guns/cars and mabye even islands for Gta3/4 would give a HUGE advantage of Ps2

nice...i thought it was gonna be good....

for some reason..ive learned that which games will be good and what will be bad at simple video clips....its a certain thing that you can just tell....like oxm always says this is gonna be good..and its not...so i have ESP i guess.....

like rogue ops never looked very good and stuff...but when i first got my xbox...azurik looked good... WBAHAHAQH

I was hoping this game would get a good review to justify my decision to buy it. Let's hope that other gamers like it too, cause IGN is known for over-rating games.

Ive been waiting for this game since its announcement. I knew it would be good, just didnt know how good. IGN gave it a 9.0, that probably means OXM will give it like a 9.5. NOVEMBER 4th BABY! CAN'T WAIT!

I'm really glad this game is doing well so far...I hope little hope for it to be a success, but maybe that will change. I'll put it on the x-mas list now...

I am probably gonna pick up this game, but I will wait for more than 1 good review to order it.

Yeah, while I have played GTA in passing a couple of times, I was never a big fan of the series. However, I am willing to give True Crime a chance just for the sake of playing something DIFFERENT (well, I hope). I will try it out, but with a rental at first. Let's cross the ol fingers.

This game may be out in some stores today, I will be getting this and GTA3/VC and will give impressions soon. I think I'll go the bad cop route with this game and get the SWAT after me, heh. Anyone know if there are motorcycles in the game?

I could've sworn I seen a screen shot with Nick on a motorcycle. Also I believe the game does have custom sound tracks.

The music in True Crime is organized to match the action on the screen so there's a driving mix, a slow action mix and a fast action mix of songs. With the scores of tunes featured in the game, we heard the same ones an awful lot. Fortunately we enjoyed most of them but looking at the list and hearing the same handful of each mix over and over again seemed a little fishy. This is partly due to the fact that when you restart a mission you're restarting the song progression for the soundtrack. If you take 17 tries to beat a driving mission, you might hear "Flashlight" 17 times. Since we can't import custom soundtracks we like having the ability to switch specific songs off and on in each individual mix.

IGN True Crime Review page 4. See no custom soundtracks unless this is an unfinished version or just a demo....

I could be wrong about the motorcycle thing though...I could swear I read it somewhere that there werent any. Oh well, if there are motorcycles my bad.

Here is just about every review so far I can find for True Crime:

IGN-9.0/10
Gaming Age-Grade A
Next Level Gaming-92/100
Team XBOX-4.5/5
1up-8.0/10

It looks like the game is getting awsome reviews, now I have to decide if I want to get it over Crimson Skies:(
