Line 4:
Also notable for the fact that it pulls yet another sudden [[Genre Shift]] during the latter part of the Good ending, where Nick Kang descends underneath the city and starts fighting zombies and dragons, in an homage to ''[[Big Trouble in Little China]]''.
 
It was followed by a sequel, ''[[True Crime New York City|True Crime: New York City]],'' which was not nearly as well-received by critics or fans. A third ''True Crime'' game, titled ''True Crime: Hong Kong,'' was in production before being cancelled by Activision in 2012. It has since been picked back up by Square-Enix and retitled ''[[Sleeping Dogs (video game)|Sleeping Dogs]]'', and is set to release in August 2012.

* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: It's extremely rare to find criminals who will give up when you flash your badge. Almost all criminals will attack you or run away when confronted. Several offenders of minor crimes will go through extreme amounts to get away from Nick. The worst example would be common muggers stealing cars and taking off to the other side of Los Angeles when confronted. Also those in street fights will forget about whatever it was they were fighting about and focus their aggressions on you.
* [[Back Seats Are Just for Show]]
Line 21:
* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: A possible option for the player is to perform non-lethal takedowns.
* [[Ring of Fire]]: You fight the true final boss hand-to-hand in a ring of fire in the wreckage of a crashed jet.
* [[Stealth -Based Mission]]: The least common of the mission types has Nick sneaking very quietly through a short level. You can perform non-lethal takedowns, lethal [[Neck Snap]]s (for Bad points) and have an emergency dart gun with only three shots.
* [[Sword and Gun]]: Well, ''fist'' and gun, anyway. Nick is able to shoot or beat the crap out of anyone and can switch to either whenever he wants. Most story missions are designated as either shooting or fighting missions, though; the adaptability mostly just comes into play when you're cruising the streets.
* [[True Final Boss]]: Interestingly, the true final boss is the same as the Bad Ending boss; the difference is that there, you had no idea what he was really up to or what he was trying to accomplish, whereas he [[Just Between You and Me|spells it all out for you]] in the Good ending. There, you've successfully eliminated all the conspirators that he was also gunning for.
{{quote| '''General Kim''': All I had to to was to follow you. Now my mission is nearly complete.<br />
'''Nick Kang''': Nearly? Is there anyone left?<br />
'''General Kim''': ''[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Just you, Kang.]]'' }}
* [[Wretched Hive]]: The in-universe Los Angeles. You can stand at an intersection and see five muggings or street fights one after another.
