    More than i expected

    Really good game, is not gta but is fun in other ways

    Be a cop

    If you ever wanted to be a cop or an EMT in GTA, this is the game for you. Give people parking tickets, frisk and search, k9 unit, save lives. Unfortunately, it's not as fun being the good guy but it's a nice option. The game was pretty short, as I platinumed it in 2 weeks of casual play. The camera is kind of hard to control at times and missions get repetitive quickly. Story is there but it's short. You eventually get all upgrades and have nothing to look forward to. If you just need a break from a big game, like I did, this is not a bad entry. Short and simple.

    Great!

    Great game made by a studio of 5 developers. Highly impressed with the graphics, gameplay and the sound. Play as a rookie police officer write tickets, run plates, eat a hot dog, get into a foot or vehicle chase. Call in for back up via roadblocks, spike strips, additional patrol officers, SWAT team or even a helicopter (which, by the way, you can also use). Upgrade your player, get new equipment and patrol vehicles. Work a short shift 6 hours (about 15 minutes real time) or pull a 24 hour shift, totally up to you.

    Pretty cool

    Its a pretty cool game, fun and exciting. Runs and is easy to play when switching to the PlayStation portal. However, these A.I. coos gotta chill out when you call them for back up.. they litersly miss the suspect vehicle every time, but seem to hit you and desl insane amount of damage every time.
