Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In the future the government watches over everything for the "safety of the public", society is under their complete control. Cyber links are implanted into each newborn child, marking their host with a unique ID. Cities have turned into monstrous urban centers giving the term urban sprawl a hazardous new meaning.

This is the world our protagonist, Katrin lives in. She is a recent graduate of the police academy, an excellent student, and an exceptional athlete. On this morning, she wakes up thinking that this day will be just like any other; unaware that her new assignment on the recent terror attacks plaguing the city will place her directly in the path of an evil genius.

COPS 2170: The Power of Law is a hybrid of RPG and tactical strategy. The central storyline unfolds in the future where the cyberpunk culture and a highly-urban oriented society have populated North America. Players will control Katrin and her team of up to seven police agents attempting to eliminate the criminal element in their metropolis.

This review is from: Cops 2170: The Power Of Law (CD-ROM)

You will really enjoy this game if you like team turn base games. The best part of turn base game is the amount of control you have over you units. The game graphics are very nice for this type of game (full 3D engine). The story line is very interesting. You will be following the story of Katrin, a female cop that just got out of the police academy. The setting is in the future (2170); it has a Bland Runner feel to it. There are lots of cool robots, people and vehicles to control throughout this game. Almost everything is customizable; you have many weapons and accessories to choose from. This game has good replay value as there are many ways to complete a mission (none linear).

Chances are, you will not like this game.

Based on a positive review from another reviewer (5 stars!), I took a chance on this game when it was available very cheaply through a marketplace seller. I figure I got what I paid for the game (which wasn't much!), but I would be *mad* if I had paid full price.

The problems: the interface is awful and moving the camera is a chore, the translation is bad, the voice acting is bad, all of which would be forgivable if the game play was redeeming--it isn't. The bottom line is that this game was not fun for me despite being a fan of the genre.

If you do decide to take a chance on this game, don't pay more than bargain bin prices because you are definitely getting a bargain bin game.
