Maybe I had nostalgia glasses for this game. But playing it now it is utterly unplayable. The keyboard keys are sometimes not registering. The car are literally useless after one hit (I had a car which could go 75km/h after one hit it stops at 40) I think that controls are either unresponsive or over the top. Tommy gun literally has recoil going all up. As for the game itself. I don't know what developers were aiming for. On one hand we have very restrictive 'simulation'. Speed limit, cops giving you warnings, very realistic vehicles. On the other hand, all enemies have bulletproof vests and heads (3 hits of headshots). one of the mission you are fighting a guy close range that is only wearing some tshirt and he takes 6 bullets point blank to the chest. Missions are awfully scripted. First mission - you have to loose your tail. The problem is you are in a cab and the guys have faster car. They won't hit you with guns but you need to drive aimlessly and after some time they just vanish. Other mission. You need to race a guy and kill him. So i took out his tires. Of course he still can drive it without problem. The navigation is awful. You have sections divided by bridges. Why on earth all of your missions require you to go always to the other section?! You have minimap if you could call it that. a circle with dots. And it is only helpful in one situation. To spot the cops. It is weird because I was playing the game when I was a kid and I don't remember this level of frustration. Maybe I am getting old...
