    COP The Recruit was born to demonstrate that limits exist to be pushed forward.

    And make no mistake – this is an impressive game from a lot of standpoints. It may have suffered a bit from the lack of hype leading up to its release and some not bad, but not exactly great gunplay, but C.O.P. is one of those games that people will still find themselves gushing about years from now.

    C.O.P: The Recruit is a good and interesting sandbox game with many possibilities for the players. It offers an open world in 3D with some original and innovative situations giving fresh air to the genre. Third person moments work so well with the stylus. One of the most visually impressive games on Nintendo DS and a serious choice for the followers of the sandbox games.

    One step further, and we would be in front of another killer app for the Nintendo DS. Sadly, clumsy control and an anonimous soundtrack keep it from excellency.

    At first, it seemed that C.O.P.could be the best rival for Chinatown Wars on Nintendo DS, but despite having great visuals, it's far from perfection. A game with good ideas but without results; it's not the GTA rival many expected, but it's a good game overall.
  7. GameZone

    An exciting, albeit clunky, driving/action game born out of GTA inspiration, C.O.P. The Recruit pushes the limits of the Nintendo DS.
  8. Gaming Nexus
    75
    Although plagued by balance and control issues, COP the Recruit is ambitious in its depth and groundbreaking in its technology. The easily frustrated might want to skip this game, but for experienced gamers looking for a challenge, COP offers a lengthy experience and hardcore difficulty.
