In the genre of arcade racing hard to come up with something new. Hutch from the developers decided to turn to "police the subject." In their debut game Smash Cops we have to chase the criminals, collect clues and crack down on illegal parking. What could be cooler?
In the United States twenty years ago became popular news stories, showing how the police pursue the suspect. The camera is usually located on the helicopter, and the audience in a live, risking nothing, watching how to administer justice. shining example here.
Smash Cops fully follows this plot outline. Each level starts with the fact that we see the final part of a crime - when criminals begin hiding. Our task - to catch up and stop them, completely destroying the car.
Smash Cops in management is different from what we used to see in a racing game. Here it is necessary to keep your finger behind the car, as if pushing it forward. Cool recalls his childhood, when small cars we "drove" in this way. If this method of management you do not like, in the settings, you can switch to a more conventional joystick.
For the accelerated collision with a car of the suspect is necessary to draw a sharp gesture toward his car. Our car is at the moment accelerates rams and gangster cars. criminal machine can take off, nice to turn over. And all this we will show in slow motion (slow motion). Very beautiful. In this case, you should try not to damage the other police cars that help in the pursuit - for this remove sunglasses.
This enthusiasm is the general atmosphere of the game. We seem to follow all the twists and turns on the TV. Here and credits at the beginning and the noise of the helicopter blades!
The game offers excellent graphics and addictive gameplay. Targets not dull, quite a variety. And we have to catch criminals and collect evidence, and destroy the cars that were parked in violation of the rules. Often, criminals have more accomplices. On some levels, we will not pursue the bandits, and they us. And to escape from them will not be easy! It is like the city in which events unfold.
The game seemed to me somewhat unbalanced. We start as a cadet recruits. Access to new tasks the player receives in the case of successful completion of the previous levels. Each passage is evaluated on a 5-point system. To get a new car or, for example, an increase in rank, you have to score as many points as possible. In the middle of the game Smash Cops become overly complex. Many players probably have to buy new police cars, and not to receive them as a result of the passage. Price is not too high, but the bad feeling remains.
Overall, however, Smash Cops - a very interesting game, which we boldly recommend to all fans of racing. Will not miss!
