True Crime: New York City review:
Definitely the sign of a not quite complete game rushed out before being finalised. Sadly then, True Crime: New York City just doesn’t cut the mustard. There are a lot of good basic concepts and ideas that unfortunately lost their way in the development process. If you like the genre, it’s a definite rental. Unfortunately, it’s nothing more than that I’m afraid.

True Crime: New York City review:
Luxoflux have done a top job putting a realistic and interesting story together and the fact it’s set in a real city that many can relate to makes it just even better.

True Crime: New York City review:
While it is evident that developer Luxoflux did aim to present gamers with a gritty, enjoyable and true-to-life rendition of being a rogue cop in New York City, countless problems prevent the game from being enjoyed to its maximum. Yes, the game is definitely an improvement over the original, but there are still too many problems with it.
True Crime: New York City review:
The ethical choices are really little more than a decision about how to make money, and how few people you want to kill. Ultimately it ends up smoking carpet underlay in an alleyway somewhere outside Brooklyn. And hey, don't knock underlay 'til you've tried it, okay?
