Santa Monica, CA (March 24, 2004) - Activision today announced that
True Crime: Streets of L.A. for the PC will feature 32 additional tracks from
artists such as Alice In Chains, Queensryche, Spineshank, and Stone Sour.
From Activision:
The massive soundtrack will capture the essence of The City of Angels, from
the urban vibe of East L.A. to the hard rock streets of Hollywood offering more
than 115 music tracks that will immerse players into the mean streets of Los
Angeles. True Crime: Streets of L.A. for the PC will be available this spring
and is rated “M” (“Mature” – Blood and Gore, Mature Sexual Themes, Strong
Language and Violence) by the ESRB.
The game’s 32 additional tracks also feature music from Static-X, The Donnas,
Genitorturers, The Distillers, Killswitch Engage, The Explosion, Mojo Rib, and
Prototype. True Crime: Streets of L.A. PC will contain all the slammin’ hip-hop
music from the console soundtrack performed by such renowned West Coast hip-hop
artists as Snoop Dogg, Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mac 10 and WC), Warren G,
KAM, Jayo Felony, Boo Yaa Tribe, Easy-E Jr., and many others.
The PC game will take the driving, fighting and shooting action online with
all-new multiplayer features, as well as new weapons and unlockable characters.
Using either GameSpy or a Local Area Network (LAN), up to four players can join
up and play any of five different multiplayer games. Using characters from the
single player portion of True Crime, multiplayer gameplay will vary from the
“Fast and Furious” style of “Street Racing” mode, to patrolling the city and
bagging the most criminals in “The Beat.” Other games include hand-to-hand
combat in “Dojo Master,” slaughtering opponents with new weapons such as a
rocket launcher or crossbow in “Battle Master,” and Los Angeles wouldn’t be
complete without a high speed car chase. In “The Chase,” gamers can play either
the police or criminal in a desperate race across Los Angeles.
The single player portion of True Crime: Streets of L.A. for the PC thrusts
players into the role of rogue Elite Operations Division operative Nick Kang, a
no-holds-barred badass, whose brutal reputation and lethal skills have landed
him the nasty task of taking down the Chinese Triad and Russian Mafia cartel
that have turned Los Angeles into a war zone.
Featuring a powerful 3D engine, the game allows the player to engage in a single
player crime drama throughout 240 square miles of Los Angeles streets or
challenge opponents in online multiplayer action modes. Gamers take part in
explosive gun battles with double fisted firepower, devastating martial arts
brawls, and high-speed shootouts.
