User Reviews

Better than what most people gave it credit for.

People unfairly gave this game a bad rap because of its use of drugs as power-ups. Unfair because it is a remake of a gaming classic that was centered around drugs anyway. People have to understand that this game comes from Midway, a gaming company that pushes the envelope when it comes to objectionable content.

In my opinion, the game is well worth the $20.00 that one would spend on it. The game features a good storyline, the ability to arrest almost anyone, and decent weapon play. There are extra missions and hidden packages to give the gamer more to do. The game has exceptional voice-over talent from Hollywood actors Michael Madsen and Bill Bellamy. That had me impressed.

The game, however; has glitches both in sound and video. I was disappointed in the fact that one cannot drive vehicles in the game, and there is no support for two players. Both of those elements were in the original game and were big parts of it to.

I never got bored with the game and I feel that my money was well spent. I would recommend the game to anyone who is old enough to play it.
