Cool Idea,sadly could have been better
I'm not sure if I can judge the game fairly yet,as I have only finish the first one and in the middle of playing the third one,but after hearing from many people I don't think the fourth one will be any good either. But from my experience in playing the 1st and 3rd game,the game lacks in the good storyline department,it wasn't awful or anything but wasn't special or interesting.The concept of following a police procedure is cool and all but I think they could have improve them in more creative ways. They also force you to remember a lot of police officers codes,which is cool but sometimes too much can be chore and when a game becomes a chore = not fun.Also I hate to think about the kids in the 90s who bought the game and lost their paper codes and got stuck. I think they should have made a police notebook in the game where you can refer codes easy and faster in case you forgot them.But NOOOO,we have to take time to learn them and remember it,cause there's no sloppy work as a police officers. As much as they wanted to make us feel like a police officers,we're not here to be police officers or entering a police academy,we're here to play an adventure game and have fun. I would recommend to skip this one if want to play a serious adventure game,the story wasn't that awesome nor is the gameplay.Better go with Sierra Gabriel Knight,if you're searching for a good serious adventure game.
