True Crime: Streets of LA (2003)

True Crime: Streets of LA is a 2003 action-adventure video game developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. A PC port was later developed by LTI Gray Matter and a MacOS port by Aspyr.

The game tells the story of Nicholas Kang, an uncompromising Los Angeles police officer who is recruited into the LAPD's Elite Operations Division in order 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 twenty years previously. The game features a 240-square-mile re-creation of a large part of Los Angeles, including most of Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, with most street names, landmarks and highways reproduced accurately.

A sequel, True Crime: New York City, was released in 2005. Originally intended as the first of a two-part series set in New York and featuring Marcus Reed, Activision scrapped the direct sequel after the game's poor performance and put plans for future True Crime games on hold. In 2007, they hired United Front Games to develop an open world game set in Hong Kong and by 2009, this game had become True Crime: Hong Kong. However, in 2011, the game was canceled. The publishing rights were then picked up by Square Enix several months later, and True Crime: Hong Kong was ultimately released as Sleeping Dogs, which has no connection to the True Crime series. In 2014, Activision dropped the True Crime trademark completely.
