-2nd game for the True Crime series of games, recently released after the True Crime: Streets of L.A. game.
Overview
-The game starts with Marcus Reed, the good guy, assuming control of his father's criminal world after he is arrested. Later on after Reed gains control, he is betrayed by a close friend and he is almost killed. He survives, with the help of NYPD detective Terry Higgins. He is a close friend of Marcus' father, and offers to cover up Reed's criminal background before he enrolls Marcus in the NYPD academy.
-5 years under the management of the NYPD, Reed is an NYPD man himself. He works under the management of Higgins as well. Higgings gets a call from one of his contacts and asks for a meeting. At the warehouse where the meeting will be, there is an explosion, killing Higgins. Back at police HQ, Reed is being talked to by FBI agent Gabriel Whitting, who informs Reed that one of the detectives in the NYPD is a mole, and is probably behind the bombing. Whitting is unsure of who it is, the only known thing about this mole is that he/she is connected to New York's biggest crime syndicates. Whitting asks Reed to investigate these crime families and find the mole. The families consist of crime families based on actual crime families. You get to choose what case to solve after you finish the tutorial. You get to choose from the President's Club(probably a reference to the Black Mafia Family), the Shadow Tong(Chinese Triads), The Palermo Mob(Italian Mafia), Tutorial(Spanish gangsters, most likely a reference to the Latin Kings), etc.
-The good ending has Navarro being arrested without incident. Later, Reed is approached by the not dead Higgins with the same offer of living comfortably in Mexico. Reed refuses, and Higgins threatens to expose Reed's criminal past, but he responds that he would pay for his crimes with honor and come quietly. Higgins runs into a subway train with Reed chasing close by. Higgins is then killed when the train derails. Back at teh station, Whitting promises to talk to the DA about Reed's dad and thanks him for catching the mole.
