To do: Unused areas. This game was going to be MUCH bigger but was cut short due to deadlines, and most of the street names remain.

Streets of LA is the first game in the short lived True Crime series, which only lasted two games.

Insert Christopher Walken impression here.

Regional Differences

The Japanese version features fully translated text as well as dubbed cutscenes, which is unusual in the latter's case as other similar games just kept the original English voices. Strangely, the actual in-game speech, such as Nick's quips or the radio dispatch, are the original English voices. This can be somewhat jarring when going from cutscenes to actual gameplay. The names of the episodes and missions are also in English, but some were renamed, such as the mission "Strip Club Detour" getting renamed to "Show Pub Detour" to avoid any overly sexually arousing naming.

This version also features a small edit in the intro cutscene for the episode 5 mission "On the Chopping Block", where Nick chops off the finger of one of the butchers. In all other versions, the chopped finger is seen falling on the counter. However, the Japanese version doesn't show that since that falls under CERO's ban of extreme bodily mutilation.
