John Bunnell’s overly dramatic narration was the best.

“This carjacker terrorized a family shopping trip, but the only thing in stock that day…was justice”

I finished this game recently. The title sounds a bit funny but I really liked it. The game mechanics feels a lot like both driver games which are both one of my favorite racing games.

It's based on a TV show. It was similar to Cops.

Every time this got mentioned it's like "listen … it sounds weird, but it's actually good". So needless to say it's on my wishlist.

Oh man, surprisingly good game. I've never seen anyone mention it before but it is a lot of fun, decent gameplay and a fun story.

Never played it but remember one of the last mission was stopping tank i think?

I played this game SO MUCH back in 2001, or 2002 maybe? The SUV was so good!

My dad and I loved the show and we both got a kick out of listening to the voiceovers by the man himself before each mission. I eventually completed it but it gets rock hard too. That bomb defusal mission is seared in my brain. This is a great game!

I remember it very well. So do my mother, she hated the constant sirens sound

This and " Urban ....." Urban something I forget the name. Those two games were like police heists and catching robbers and stuff. Good times towards the end of the PSX lifecycle

u/brodino_maiuscolo 1d ago

Urban chaos? Loved it as a kid but it aged terribly

u/Organic-Device7465 1d ago

Yesssss, I look back at that and yes it did not age well. I thought it was fun back when It came out but now wouldn't care so much. Police chase was good tho.

Memory unblocked! I remember playing a lot of that game. I also remember the TV series it was based on haha.

u/Bloodytears666 1d ago

At the end it's really gets scary, but this is a lot of fun game, if like to be a cop.

LEEEEEEEEEETS

GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!¡!!!1!1!!!1!!

I fucking love this game When i was a kid

Sadly I couldn't beat It, there's was a tight timed mission that i couldn't pass.

Even sadlier I haven't seen a copy to add It to my collection

I need It

NOW!!!

u/RevenantFTS97 1d ago

Never played it but I'm really looking forward since I'm interested in playing certain titles in which you play as a cop (the OG Police Quest being another game)

u/PercentageCultural82 1d ago

Pretty fun game. Nice open world

u/Marbus0666 1d ago

I have my copy.

u/Trap_Lord85 1d ago

One of the small handfuls of games I religiously played before I moved onto the PS2, I even repurchased it a few years back when I decided to try build back my collection I sold off years ago.

u/ltnew007 1d ago

It's surprisingly good for a late era licensed PS1 game.

u/AntonioVivaldi7 1d ago

I have only seen a video. The police chases look really scary.

u/VeNaima7 1d ago

Played it and loved it, the missions were so chaotic

u/MisterMorise 1d ago

Thanks dad for gifting me this gem on my childhood

1

u/Dami1627 1d ago

El juego recuerda bastante al primer Driver pero en versión policial y con estética de docuserie yanqui de los 90', con narrador sensacionalista y todo. Gran joya técnica y jugable de la PSX.

u/kaicooper 1d ago

had a blast with this gem back in 2000, damn miss this game

1

u/EffectivePerception3 1d ago

Honestly had never heard of that game until seeing your post

1

u/-Gumbercules 1d ago

I still have my copy. This game is basically driver with guns. It's fun to just drive around and stop criminals all day in free roam.

u/GavinBTee 21h ago

I feel like it was a spiritually polished up Driver 2

2

u/Evil_invader87 14h ago

Played it and completed it when it was released. It was alright, but nothing too spectacular. I think it was just 20 missions so the game itself was rather short. I liked the cheat for funny voiceover. It has the lines spoken in drowsy manner like "..Why are there so many cars of the same type in this city..?"

u/TheeMadThrasher 9h ago

Still have it . Used to play it with my son for laughs.

Gem? This was a bad game with car physics that felt like bathtubs on wheels, game was garbage, it also bombed and got shredded by reviews, id be shocked if it sat above a 50 on metacritic lol....

If you personally like it, I won't crap on you but this is literally the polar opposite of a gem. Its a bad game, horrid physics boring and repetitive structure etc and bombed both in its reception and commercially, this was no gem lmao

Leave it to reddit to call notoriously bad games gems, what "gem" is next, big rigs lol 🤔
