I felt so much anxiety before buying this game, because having read so many criticising reviews, hardly had I any desire to try it. fortunately the game is not as bad as people say, yet it's not a masterpiece either. It's in between. It's different from other battlefield games; now you play as a cop who, help by your companions, tries to bring down a corrupted cop and all his underlings. Throughout the game you have two situations: shoot or arrest people. You gain more points by arresting people and with these points you simply unlock new weapons and so on. It's a linear game and you won't have to choose anything.
At times it will get boring to arrest people.
