True Crime is just like The Getaway or Vice City - except that this time you're a cop and you're in the real life streets of Los Angeles. The city is simply HUGE. Do NOT go racing through this game to the very end just to "beat it"! That's not the point at all. Go slowly, explore the city, build up your skills. That way as you slowly progress through the missions that are there, you have the skills you need and the knowledge of the city to do well.

The point isn't to beat the game in 48 hours. The point is to enjoy the game and do it WELL. In fact they very nicely have many missions that you can put off until later. Don't run off to do each next mission. Take your time to prepare and to learn your moves and your city.
