I liked this game from the 1st sight. Nice simple graphics, nice sounds/music, simple controls - it will draw you quickly into the story. Judging all that this game is unique and deserves the 5 stars rating. My problem is with the story path given - with options which in my opinion are not truly the options. I don't like games where I'm forced to do what I don't want to do. By this I mean co-operation with mafia. You are forced to do so or you will be killed. Granted, it might be realistic but for the sake of the game I found it really disturbing and even offensive. Why can't I choose the path of not working with mafia and instead fight them? That is the sole reason why I'm giving the game 2 stars (5 for execution, zero for mafia co-op). I don't understand why it's given that PD chief HAS to work with mafia. When I play similar games I always wipe out mafia completely by killing all. Fallout 2, Jagged Alliance 2 ... you have the option to work with mafia or kill'em all. I like killing mafia members and this game is not allowing it. I think earning those 500.000$ could be quite easy when wiping out all mafia and mobsters and taking the money from them. I find this part of the game immoral and giving bad example. Cherry on the top is the behavior of the City Hall which decides your funding - if you are doing a bad job as a PD they figure out that you will hopefully do better job if they cut your funding and force you to fire your police officers. I mean what logic is that? Naturally you will end up in the spiral of defeat. I understand it's a game but I found this part really idiotic. In conclusion the game is good and I would like to see more games like this one however I also require some interesting story and options for re-playability.
