I’m hard-pressed to think of a game that more exceeded my expectations than This is the Police. A fully-formed, engaging story that’s tied together underneath a solid and demanding simulator game is certainly something I’ve never seen before, and it’s all handled excellently.
Sometimes relaxing, sometimes satirical, often unfair – This Is The Police succeeded not only with interesting and comprehensive insight at police work, but also is one of the freshest genre experiments of the year - despite some flaws. [Issue#266]
Fans of police procedurals and stylish games will definitely enjoy this original hybrid of management game and a visual noir novel.
This Is The Police leans on cliched scenarios and characters, but it represents some of the real struggles a police force has to deal with, like budgets being cut and a city with a lot of social problems.
A great idea with a somewhat sloppy execution, This is the Police has tremendous amounts of potential that's currently squandered by pressuring the player to go through a linear route instead of having more open gameplay.
By day 100, you’re starting to lose sight of the goal. They gave you 180 days to finish out your tenure as chief; at first it sounded like a death sentence, now it’s more like a prison sentence.
