    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Crime. Selling cops, honest cops, choice. Everything depends on the choice. The game deserves a very high rating. For unusual, for novelty, for its unique atmosphere.… Expand

    Great game, almost no bugs (at least i didn't experienced them), fun gameplay and interesting story.

    The games are very good, and yet I had never heard of them before. The second one is better (in my opinion) because it is much more comprehensive. However, I love the corrupt police aspect in games like this, it adds a lot to the experience. The only flaw in the second game is that if you don't pay the additional 20k, you lose everything I have achieved in 2-3 hours.

    This is the Police is basically a visual novel disguised as a strategy videogame. Apart from a lack of any depth in its mechanics, choices don't really matter, as almost everything happens no matter what you do. The story section is a lot better, and the audio-visuals even more so, but these won't be enough to satisfy strategy enthusiasts.

    This Is The Police tries to do something interesting, both in its storytelling and its gameplay, and while it delivers a unique experience, its lack of commitment is ultimately its downfall. That's not to say it does any one thing poorly, but rather it does many things decently and few things well. The gameplay is interesting enough to keep you entertained, but the lack of variety in day-to-day missions becomes tedious quickly. The only aspect of the game that truly stands out is its ability to make you feel something. Sometimes that's enough to overlook the shortcomings of a game, but this is not one of those cases.

    This Is The Police takes the running of a police force and turns it into a strategic, management game with light RPG elements. You won't see any action here and the unreasonable, random demands made can be frustrating. However, throughout all of this, there is a narrative and a goal that can keep you engaged and entertained for many hours.
