Marcus Reed, the new lead character in Activision Inc.’s gritty urban cop drama True Crime will make his debut at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles on May 18. Additionally, Activision will kick off a “True Crime Guess the City and Win Marcus’ Ride” Sweepstakes giving consumers the chance to win a brand new Chrysler 300, tricked out by industry leader Next Motorsports.

Beginning May 18 through June 16, consumers can log on to www.truecrime2005.com and enter the sweepstakes by voting for the crime-ridden city of their choice. In addition, attendees at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which is being held at the L.A. Convention Center from May 18-20, can cast their vote in the Activision booth, located in the South Hall, #1224, where the car will be on display.

All winners will be chosen through a random drawing from eligible entrants who guess the correct city. One Grand Prize winner will win a brand new Chrysler 300, in a style befitting Marcus Reed, the new lead character in the sequel to the best-selling True Crime: Streets of L.A. game. Finished in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Marcus’ ride is tricked out with 22” Asanti Wheels, Billet front grille, and Lamborghini style doors. Next Motorsports has also transformed the interior for maximum entertainment, adding an Xbox video game system, SAVV 10.2” headrest monitors, Alpine AM/FM/DVD/CD player with LCD monitor, as well as booming MA Audio front and rear component speakers, 4-channel amp, subwoofer amp, and a 12” subwoofer in a custom Next Motorsports enclosure. The True Crime logo is embroidered on headrests and floor mats.

Ten first-prize winners will receive a Motorola mobile phone and 10 second-prize winners will receive Puma gear. All prizes will be awarded through a random-drawing taking place on or around July 15, 2005. The “True Crime Guess the City and Win Marcus’ Ride” sweepstakes is open to U.S. residents that are 18 years or older. Participants can enter the sweepstakes at the promotion Web site or at Activision’s E3 Booth. All prizes winners will be notified on or around August 30, 2005.
