Game, where you drive in streets of Chicago. It is nothing more than a chase between the criminals and the police. At the beginning of the game you can choose the side for which you want to play and difficulty of the game by 1 to 3. Criminals have little worse situation, you have one car, with which you have to constantly avoid police vehicles and try to hold out as long as possible Avoiding encirclement. The police have their options still somewhat varied and play for it is rather boring. While it is nice that you can change in the event of an accident the car, but what good when it is passed to my colleagues the task, let alone the offender impact.

Game review

A game in which, from a top view, you drive through the streets of Chicago. Actually, it's nothing more than a chase between criminals and cops.
At the beginning of the game, of course, you can choose the side you want to play for and the difficulty of the game from 1 to 3. Criminals have a slightly worse situation (let's face it, they have a very low chance), you have one car with which you have to constantly avoid the chasing police vehicles and try to stay as long as possible to avoid being surrounded (blocked by a police car from the front and back). nothing will happen until you have two police cars.

The police have a little more varied options and it is better to be boring to play for it. It is nice that you can change the car in case of an accident, but what good is it if you just give your colleagues a task to catch the perpetrators themselves (they will lead without difficulty in a moment).

The difficulty does not have such a significant effect on the game, the higher the intelligence of the opponents increases slightly (the intelligence of civilian vehicles, on the contrary, decreases), but it is still the same. However, the game fails even more. The physics of the cars and their movement in general is all the way to cry. it's not sounded at all (unless I count your screams).

All in all, I would recommend this game for two or more players, where you can compete for who is the better ganster.
