    Better than some of these sites are saying it is and it DOES capture the series feel, especially since many of the original cast represent their actual voices in the game and also because the graphics seem to match-up with the grim Farmington district feel.

Despite the fact that some of these reviewers grumbled about the mini-games, they were no less boring or no worse than any to be found in the much-vaunted GTA series and in some cases were more enjoyable (the police foot-chase stuff, for example). Furthermore, it is much better on the PC than PS2. I have to wonder if some of these reviewers even really bothered to play the PC version?… Expand

    One of the most boring, generic games out there, even with a strong character like Vic Mackey. There's really nothing about the gameplay, visuals, sound, or story that can justify a purchase.

    Just buy it on DVD and leave it at that. [Apr 2007, p.71]
