  • Summary: [Downloadable Game] Directed by David Jaffe, Calling All Cars is a high-octane, fast action game of cops n' robbers. Take on the role of a bounty hunter careening around a stylish cartoon world on the hunt for criminals on the loose. Calling All Cars features four highly detailed 3D levels, multiple weapons and 10 vehicles to choose from. Gamers attempt to apprehend criminals and toss them back in the slammer before other bounty hunters can steal them and collect the reward money. Experience a combination of demolition derby gameplay, crazy weapon pickups, humor and a healthy throwback to classic arcade games. Dive in for crazy multiplayer action with friends both online and split screen (up to 4-player split screen running at 60fps). [SCEA] Expand

  1. Calling All Cars is to the PS3 what "Hexic HD" was to the Xbox 360. [July 2007, p.68]

    Aside from the limited number of maps, we have absolutely no complaints about the game's multiplayer. It practically defines "action-packed" and will force even silent gamers to start talking trash and scream at their TV.
  3. While it remains simplistic overall, Calling All Cars is undeniably a great little multiplayer game, easy to pick up and very fun to have a quick blast on.
  4. 30
    Granted the game looks and sounds great, but it has no substance to it.

    In my mini-reviews, I usually write a lengthy commentary about the pros & cons of a given game; but for this game I only have two things to say: Buy it. Buy it now! Expand

    It's super fun. I agree with most of the reviews though in that more content would be nice.

    Yes it could be better if it was a full release type game, but for the price and the fact you don't have to get up to go to a store to get it, it is a very good and fun online game. Expand

    A solid title that should be in any Playstation 3 library.
