2003 · PlayStation 2 · Luxoflux

True Crime: Streets of LA is a 2003 open world action-adventure video game developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision for GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in November 2003, for Microsoft Windows in May 2004, and by Aspyr for Mac OS X in March 2005. A mobile phone adaptation was released in November 2004. The game tells the story of Nicholas Kang, an uncompromising LAPD detective who is recruited into the Elite Operations Division to investigate a series of bombings in Chinatown. As he delves further into the case, he discovers it may be connected to the disappearance of his police officer father 20 years prior. The game features a 240-square-mile (622 km2) re-creation of a large part of L.A., including most of Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, with the majority of street names, landmarks and highways reproduced accurately.
