February 28^th, 2005 (7:29pm) - Activision is taking on the Russian and Chinese mobs again with the announcement of True Crime 2: Streets of H.K. for the next generation consoles. The sequel of the #1 best-selling title in aggregate across all platforms on Holiday 2003 in the U.S – according to the NPD Funworld Report - thrusts players into the role of Nick Kang, a no-holds-barred badass, whose brutal reputation and lethal skills made him to take down the Chinese Triad and Russian Mafia cartel that had turned Los Angeles into a war zone.

Gamers take part in explosive gun battles with double fisted firepower, devastating martial arts brawls, and high-speed shootouts on the breathtaking streets of Hong Kong. The game’s unique branching missions include locating hostile witnesses, infiltrating criminal-infested locations, taking out evasive informants and busting the heavily armed and deadly bad guys.

"Mission-based driving and action adventure collide in this bold new direction for interactive entertainment," states Ron Doornink, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. "Infused with the unique flair of Hong Kong action films, True Crime 2 allows players to experience everything they’ve already experienced with True Crime, but with stunning visuals and physics no one has never seen before”.

Developed by Luxoflux Corp., the creators of the successful True Crime: Streets of L.A. and Vigilante 8 series, the game blends multiple genres into a new cinematic action game. More than 30 branching missions and 120 sub-missions lead gamers down dozens of possible paths and outcomes. Featuring a powerful 3D engine for next generation consoles, True Crime 2: Streets of H.K. allows players to move freely through a 300 square mile living, breathing re-creation of Hong Kong. Players will be able to visit popular H.K. landmarks, or buy services from local gun merchants, mechanics or doughnut shops and improve Kang’s abilities by visiting auto simulators, dojo’s and gun ranges around town. True Crime 2: Streets of H.K. is slated to ship in 2005.
