The verdict
A detailed, relaxing police-routine sim that's best with a friend, but buggy and now abandoned by its developers. Skip it at full price or if you want action.
Great for
Patient players who like realistic, low-action police routine, especially in co-op with a friend
Main risk
Persistent bugs and AI problems that were never fixed, with development now ended
