    The biggest issue, outside of the odd UI hiccup and impenetrable mechanical logic, is that TITP pretends to offer a scathing commentary about the human condition, but it’s bite is toothless.

You start as policeman who works in police department which was involved in some mafia things - nice. Game looks pretty nice because of its style and a bit comic polling like dialogues. It also looks like you can make some choices, you can pick answer in a few situations which looks like you have freedom of what you are doing. Game mainly focus on managing police units, sending them to the different situations, decising how many will go and if the case needs more experienced workers or just regular policemans. If you do a good job your people will get more experience points and the office will be happier and more keen on some of your requests. If you will fail too many times - effect will be completely different. All looks fine in the beginign, you can fried bad working cops, develop them etc. But you are also forced to work with mafia. In theory you have ability no to cooperate with them but actually you have to if you don't want to end your game to early. Game gives you fake feeling that you have control of anything and that your choices can really matter. Everything is going fine and suddenly your policeman says he wants to spend more time with family and he just disappear. Developers tried to make the game look harder just by taking some things from you without really big reason.
    HUD is quite small for iphones, you can't make the time go faster which is a big deal since you spend a lot of time just looking on screen and waitng for some calls to pop up and send cops. Cutscenes are pretty annoying since they are slow and in most cases they are really not important after all. The music - you either hate it or love it.
    In my first take I died after 19 days of working. And what to do after it? You just start the whole game from the beginning. With the same missions, same story. Game had potential to be pretty fun and it could really show struggling cop who can't decide either to play fair or work with mafia - and we get game with limited choices, repetitive story and nothing that holds you to play it. Not really worth money    … Full Review »
