History VideoGame / TrueCrimeNewYorkCity

Five years later, Marcus is working for the NYPD, and works under Lt. Dixon. Victor Navarro, the chief, is not liking this. After passing his test, Marcus is driven to see his father, Isaiah, to show he's not a criminal anymore. Terry stops in a place for a deal, but seeming dies in an explosion. Since then, Marcus plans on tracking down the four crime leaders to avenge his death.

* BoomHeadshot: Can be done with manual aim, and is always a one-hit kill-unless you're using a non-lethal weapon, in which case it results in InstantSedation.

* KneeCapping: You can do this to non-lethally take down enemies.

* NewYorkIsOnlyManhattan: The game takes place in New York City (as you can tell from the title). Once again, the city seems to be relegated to Manhattan. Debug mode reveals other areas of New York. They have named streets, vehicles and pedestrians, but no buildings.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:[[TheBadGuyWins Terry actually won]], Marcus wiped out the four crime families leaving Terry free to ride off into the sunset with a fortune in mob money. However, Terry makes the decision to reveal his deception and try and cut Marcus in on the action out of loyalty to Marcus. This ends up getting him killed by Marcus in both endings (either Marcus straight up executes him in rage in the bad ending, or he dies during a chase when Marcus tries to arrest him in the good ending).]]
* OccidentalOtaku: Lionel "Benjamin" Jones of the President's Club, a ScaryBlackMan who adopted Japanese culture since his group was dealing with the Yakuza. He has his own Zen garden, and fights Marcus with Samurai armor and a katana.

* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Marcus was pissed when he learned that [[spoiler:Terry]] was the mole. And when [[spoiler:Terry]] tried to pay Marcus off, he switched to blackmail after Marcus refused. Marcus had this to say in the good ending.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Terry and Marcus' father.
* WhatTheHellPlayer: During the Training level, the PA will chastise you if you preform a lethal takedown. However it's implied the victim is not dead.

* CastingGag: Marcus' superior, Lt. Deena Dixon, is voiced by Mariska Hargitay of ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' fame.

''True Crime: New York City'' is the sequel to ''VideoGame/TrueCrimeStreetsOfLA''.

* ShoutOut: In one mission Marcus remarks "next thing you know i'll be flying remote-controlled toys and shit", a reference to RC missions in the GTA franchise.

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: The final boss fight (in the bad ending) is a 2D side-scrolling punch-out in which you need to punch your opponent off the other side of the stage, a significant shift from the game's 2 earlier melee boss fights which utilized the game's standard combat engine. The good ending has no boss fight.
