Seek and destroy

Change your hat for a while and be a good guy

Change your hat for a while and be a good guy. It's 2015 and you are newly-qualified Officer 88 at the Uriel Consortium's city police department. Your mission: to contain the emerging gangs of organised crime.

To achieve this you have three experimental law enforcement vehicles at your disposal - a car, a motor bike and a prototype wing. All vehicles are equipped with an assortment of primary and secondary weapons and to detect those wrong-doers your transport is also laden with an in-built radar system.

However, while the main objective of Crime Killer is to seek and destroy, you also have the chance to pacify some of those less violent criminals.

Crime Killer features 15 realtime 3D cityscapes in which you have complete freedom of movement. There are also 15 missions to test your policing skills and each of these have sub-missions. The frame rate and graphics are well up to speed, running at 50fps but this can cause a little frustration as innocent vehicles, coming from nowhere, often obstruct your progress while in hot pursuit.

There is also a two-player mode, in fact there are two two-player modes (Holotag and Weapons Test). In Holotag, the object is to pick up the most Holotags within a pre-set time limit. Weapons are disabled in this mode. Weapons Test is all about killing. The player with the most kills (within the time limit), or the first to score a set amount of kills, wins. Crime Killer is certainly a fun game but whether it merits purchasing or not is another matter.
