  • Amazing game

    Okay, maybe $ 2.99 was a little overkill considering this took me a couple of hours to beat (please add about triple the levels to keep us going), but other than that, I have never seen anything like this game. The push controls are easy and really give the reaction of one hell of a powerful rear-wheel drive car, the display and animation are as good as it gets, and, most of all, the gameplay is indescribably fun. Bashing the traffic and suspects to bits is the most fun I ever had in a top-down view driving game.

  • Cracking app but...

    This is really a review for the makers. I would have happily rated this game 5 stars if it wasn't for the dodgy controls. Your thumb gets in the way and you end up going the wrong way cause you can't see your car beyond your annoying thumb. I think you should seriously look at the control method cause right now this game is not worth £1.99. I bought the getaway for £0.69 great little game with basic controls that work. Improve the controls and you got yourself a fully deserved £1.99 game. The game itself is brilliant but the control method lets it down. Cheers

  • mindless, indulgent, smashing

    There are some things in life one needs. One of them is smashing things. I like this game because my son who loves smashing things loves it too, and he's only 3 and a half, and we can both be men together, 35 years apart and loving the same things. Life doesn't change that much.
    It's also quite tricky, which means I haven't got bored of it after 3 ferry rides to work. My wife couldn't get out of the car park, so there won't be any amateurs vying for my game time.
    I don't have much time for words like game mechanics etc... I will say my finger is getting a bit sore. Better get back to it. Only just got promoted to officer. The interceptor awaits...

  • Fun, but too short

    The game is a lot of fun, but it's very short and pretty shallow. There are two types of missions. Ones where you arrest a car by smashing it, or reach a finish line before you're smashed. Its more fun than it sounds.

    There are only 5 vehicles that you unlock as you earn stars by completing levels. Maximum 5 stars per level. There are only 20 levels. Hopefully there will be expansions with more variety to extend the game coming soon.

    I thought 2.99 was a bit high for this games length and depth. I'll adjust my rating if they include more levels with updates.

  • Awesome game

    Awesome game great fun, only bad thing to short. Really hope they being some great new updates out for this game like a race mode or something. Other then that best ipod racing game iv played.
  • Highly Addictive

    This game is superb. The controls are a bit strange to get use to but doesn't take long once you figure out the basics. I agree with one of the other reviews that tilt control would be good. The graphics are excellent and the action even better.
  • Meh, it's alright

    Graphics are great. Controls are unique. Never controlled a game like that. My problem is two fold. First, the levels are too short. Think Taxi Cab Driver, but with missions lasting 30 seconds. Playing then stopping, playing then stopping. I felt like I was in rush hour traffic. Secondly, for $2.99 I would expect longer than 35 minutes of gameplay.

    My suggestion for the developer, instead of running a mission and going back to the menu for the next one, I would suggest staying in mission and having a dispatcher call out your next mission and you leave your current mission as soon as you get the call. For example, after collecting all the evidence, leave me in my car in the street and have the dispatcher tell me that there is a hold up at the diner, display the mission name and number so I know where I am in the progress, and give me the arrows to get there.

  • It's great, but could be better!

    It is a great game, get it. It is fun!

    As other reviewers have mentioned, control is unique and take a little while to get use to (not a bad thing). Other police cars are little mindless, they are just attracted to the 'bad guy' like magnet so they can get in your way and end up trashing them with your car, and lose points in the process. If you look at other cop cars as just another hurdle, rather then really your team member, it makes more sense. Visually, it is very polished game. It is unfortunately, little short. Finished the whole game in 90min (averaging 4 stars). If you buy Super Cop upgrade, I think it will be even quicker to finish the game. I have played $0.99 games that lasted a lot longer.

  • Good, but.....

    I really love this sort of game and I've enjoyed playing and completing it. You don't need to purchase the Super Cop upgrades to complete it and you earn some during the game.

    I think it's now crying out for a continuous play mode where you just drive around the city getting calls over the radio for crime to tackle and maybe have some sort of APB notifications for special cars to look out for and take down.

    There is a beautiful city to explore by the looks of it, so give players the chance to drive around it!

  • Excellent

    I wasn't sure after reading the reviews about the steering. Bought it anyway. The steering is unique but I found it to be fun and it suits the game. The game is challenging. Many times I thought about buying the upgrades and help but didn't as I felt I shouldn't have to pay any more $. That's the only thing I don't like about the game. Bit sneaky. Room for improvements: road blocks, spikes, shotgun. I really feel its the best car game that's come out in the last 6 months or so.
