true Crime: New York City is a great choice to try in 2025, especially since you loved Streets of LA on GameCube and are chasing Scarface’s open-world crime thrills. Its massive New York map, intense gunfights, and precinct management will vibe with your action-heavy taste (Dynasty Warriors, Batman Begins), offering a deeper experience than Streets of LA, even if it’s less “awarded” (due to its 2005 mixed reviews). Be ready for technical hiccups, but with your huge collection and emulator know-how, you’re well-equipped to handle it. If you enjoy it, check out The Warriors or GTA: San Andreas from your PS2 library for more polished crime action.
Got any specific questions about New York City (e.g., best missions, cheat codes, emulator setup)? Or want me to dig into what you loved about Streets of LA on GameCube to tailor more recommendations from your 437-game stash? Let me know, man!
