But that’s not to say there isn’t a decent amount of variety to the missions at hand whether it’s free-running across the city to catch a criminal, or driving an important character to safety, not everything involves problem solving via destruction. With 15 story oriented chapters, there’s a whole load of content to plough through, with it generally seeing you smashing everything and anything to smithereens, in order to find a key construct or a specific item to further your progression. So don’t expect any groundbreaking narrative, but be prepared to laugh and snigger, or at least show a hint of a smile, at the parodied references to great movies and TV shows – does Studski and Clutch ring a bell at all, anyone? The story itself is one which draws from a multitude of crime based tales as seen in an early chapter where clowns are robbing a bank, similar to that of The Dark Knight.

That’s not a bad thing though, as it has immense charm and is completely aware of how silly it all is throughout.

With an always angry Chief of Police on your back, a rather dopey rookie looking to impress, a love interest and, of course, a variety of stereotypical criminals along the way, you’ll feel like you’ve been dropped into the average cop TV show from yesteryear.
