DESCRIPTION

Produced by American Laser Games, makers of such titles as Mad Dog McCree and Space Pirates, Crime Patrol takes the familiar live action, first-person target shooting formula and ups the ante in terms of realism and interactive intensity. Players join the police force and engage in a number of harrowing law enforcement situations, including a bank holdup, a gang fight, a crack house bust, a nuclear power plant takeover and, scariest of all, a terrorist/hostage crisis that takes place on an airplane and in an airport. Television reporters appear onscreen, commenting on whether the player has shot bad guys or innocents, and the situations in the game vary depending on how successfully the targets have been shot and other factors. Real actors and Hollywood stunt men add verisimilitude to the proceedings. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
