Pretty mid game. It lacks a lot in variety. The maps are small and there's only ever 1 or 2 entrances. You only get points for grabbing evidence, defusing bombs or arresting/killing suspects. So there's not a lot of ways to get a good score. When you understand the game, all the levels play the same: never run, always use the taser/melee, rarely use items because they're useless and you don't get points for successfully using them. So it's pretty boring and very easy once you get the jest of it. The story is aight, a cookie-cutter cop story with a twist that's not even a twist cause you can see it from miles away. The end is a bit nonsensical too. The online coop experience was pretty mediocre as we got multiple disconnects in our very short playtime. Since it's only 4 bucks it's not that bad overall, but keep in mind the campaign can be finished in around 3-4 hours very easily. Also, don't even think about playing in local coop and/or with a controller. The aiming is downright impossible on controller and the local coop is horrendous without split screen. I'll still recommend it cause it's cheap and there's potential but it's just inherently too repetitive and restricted gameplay-wise. 5/10

It's a pretty good coop experience (aside from the connection bugs), the only thing that i think could be better are the guns. The guns in this game draw too much attention (which makes sense) and more often than not it's easier to just punch, taser or pepper spray the suspect, so there's no real incentive for you to use them. Because of this, I played most of the game using only non-lethal options. Nonetheless, I still think that it's a fun game.

"FREEZE DIRTBAG!" Well. It sure was a short and really simplistic game about..something. Story was just fine. An 80s action flick plot. We played the game coop and it felt..okay? Nothing impressive. The enemy AI was: shoot you at 0,0001 seconds flat, run in random direction for a while or shoot a civilian that was in the same room as them. ..that's it. Guns became really useless after couple of missions. When you got more grenades, breaching charges, stun guns ect. you really didn't need to shoot anybody anymore. Just run and melee them into submission. And hit that civilian too in the face because it also can be a baddie in disguise. All mission were the same category: arrest(shoot) all the criminals and subdue all the civs. Occasional bomb disposal. I wanted some more unique mission goals perhaps or something. But, it was playable and cheap enough that I can't really give this a thumbs down. Buy it on sale.

Looks like Hotline Miami but its the exact opposite. Its pretty mediocre by itself but co op is fun. + Graphics are great, i liked the cutscenes as well. + Co op is great and the main reason to play the game. + Gameplay is fun, using tactics and cautious approach is rewarded, going in guns blazing is not. - Story sucks, it doesnt make much sense and is very basic. - Game is pretty buggy, there are stuck loading screens, random bugs during gameplay that force you to restart the map. - When alerted enemies seem to have insane reaction time on, almost like using an aimbot. This makes combat not fun. - DLCs suck - both are half baked and seem more like mods than official content. - 20€ is pretty steep for such a short game. - Gets pretty repetetive 5 hours in. Overall its worth only if you want to go play with your friend, otherwise this game doesnt have much to offer.
