That's why it's True Crime.

ACTIVISION’S TRUE CRIME®: NEW YORK CITY DELIVERS AUTHENTIC DEPICTION OF THE CITY’S MEAN STREETS    


   


Santa Monica – July 14, 2005 – Activision Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) upcoming  True Crime®: New York City is poised to deliver the most authentic  depiction of New York ever portrayed in a video game.      


   


In the game, players take on the role of former gang member turned cop  Marcus Reed as they fight crime on the GPS-accurate streets of  Manhattan, complete with subways, hundreds of interiors, internationally  recognized landmarks and real neighborhoods from Harlem to Chinatown to  Times Square.  Players will navigate the city the way New Yorkers do, by  taking cabs, riding subways, walking and driving cars and motorcycles.      


   


Players will experience all the sights and sounds of New York, complete  with the energy and architecture authentic to the city’s diverse  neighborhoods, the voices and likenesses of real New Yorkers, and the  cacophony of ambient traffic and bustling noises unique to the city.  The game also includes character concentrations specific to each  neighborhood.   For example, the player will find a plethora of tourists  amidst the lights and large buildings of Times Square, but predominantly  locals near the brownstones of Harlem.      


True Crime: New York City is being developed by Luxoflux and is  scheduled to release this fall for the PlayStation®2 computer  entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft and the  Nintendo GameCube™.  The game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

Well I realize the game will suck, but I think that's a pretty effective press release -- it makes the game sound actually fun...
