True Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.

True Crime: Streets of LA is an ambitious open-world action game that attempts to blend the freedom of Grand Theft Auto with beat 'em up combat and branching storylines. While it offers a sprawling recreation of Los Angeles and some entertaining moments, the experience is marred by clumsy controls, frustrating missions, and a story that often veers into the ridiculous. True Crime delivers flashes of chaotic fun, but its unpolished gameplay and uneven design make it feel like a missed opportunity.
