Product Description
Right Crime: Streets of L.A. lets you use your brutal reputation and skill with a gun to excellent use — putting a stop to the scum that’s ruining L.A.!Amazon.com Review
Right Crime: Streets of L.A. is a Grand-Theft-Auto-esque action/driving/shooter that allows you to take control of Nick Kang, a cop out to solve a weird rash of crimes and solve his member of the clergy’s mysterious murder. The game treats itself like a movie, with normal dialogue and cinematics, a soundtrack filled with some of rap’s heavy hitters, and some surprising voiceover talent, like Christopher Walken and Snoop Dogg.
The missions given to you tend to involve shooting up or beating up (there is a huge distinction between gun fighting and kung fu) a room full of terrible guys, or simply have you racing against the timer in your car. In between, you can roam around and solve unadorned street crimes (mugging, car jackings, etc), or earn upgrades for your driving, shooting, and fighting abilities. The upgrade mechanism is vital because while it’s an entertaining way to add new gameplay elements several hours in, the early game leaves you with so few moves that the game is hard, or worse, dull. The game also features a Excellent-Cop/Terrible-Cop karma system that rewards or punishes you for doing the right or incorrect thing. Arrest criminals in non-lethal manner to get better endings, or terrify the populace and have both citizens and police turn on you.
While it can be an entertaining take on the Grand Theft Auto genre, Right Crime tends to suffer from hit and miss execution. For every compelling game element, there’s another equally dreadful one. There are several mission types that are completely devoid of any fun, melee fighting favors button mashing even after the nearly-useless string of upgrades, and the controls and camera seem to work against you more often than for you. Ultimately, hardcore Grand Theft Auto fans and the infinitely patient may be in for a treat, but everyone else is advised to reflect twice about this game.–Jon “Safety Monkey” Grover
Pros:
- Variety of mission types keeps game from getting overly repetitive
- Karma system and plenty of alternate cinematics add to replay regard
- Brilliant voice work and above average graphics
Cons:
- Controls feel sloppy and the camera will make you want to punch out your TV
- Certain mission-types are just plain dull
- Melee fighting favors button mashing over thought-out, timed attacks

THIS GAME ROCKS! MANY SAY ITS BETTER THAN GTA3! YOU CAN DO LOTS OF STUFF LIKE IN GTA3 BUT WITH A BETTER STORYLINE. INSTEAD OF JUST SIMPLE PUNCH AND KICK LIKE GTA YOU CAN DO TONS OF CRAZY MOVES LIKE IN MATRIX RELOADED, DIVING SPINS AND TONS OF DIFFERENT HAND TO HAND COMBAT EVEN WHILE YOUR CARYING WEAPONS! YOU PRETTY MUCH GET GRADED FOR EACH MISSION AND DEPENDING ONYOUR GRADE YOU GET DIFFERENT ENDINGS. HEY, IF YOU AREN’T TOO GOOD AT THIS GAME THE GAME ALSO COMES WITH TRAINING(CAUSE THE CHARACTER IS A COP). YOU CAN DO DRIVING TRAINING COMBAT TRAINING AND OTHER COOL STUFF. THIS GAMES HAs AWESOME MUSIC TOO INCLUDING more than 50 TRACKS WITH SNOOP DOG! FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN OF THE GAME, THE CARS ARE NICER WITH BETTER GRAPHICS INCUDING THE PEOPLE. SAY IF YOU SEE PEOPLE DOING ILLEGAL STUFF IN THE MISSION, YOU CAN KILL THEM ALL BUT YOU GET A BETTER SCORE BY ARRESTING THEM. THE PEOPLE IN THE GAME INSTEAD OF MOSTLY JUST FLEEING THEY ALSO ATTACK YOU!
