Simple fun - but will it last?

User Rating: 6.6 | Calling All Cars! PS3
Let's get one thing straight - this is a multiplayer game. If you can't play online or rustle a few mates together don't even bother looking here.

This game has one strength which is also the game's weakness - it is very simple. Controlling the car is very simple. Picking up the crook, very simple. Keeping hold of the crook - that's a different matter.

To steal the crook is simply a matter of touching the car holding him which at first is kinda cool. But then it reminds you that other than it's simplicity there's not a lot going for CaC.

There are weapons to pickup but but when simply touching a car will get the prisoner there's no point. There's also a few different maps to try out but they are far too similar and when you can simply boost through buildings they become irrelevant.

After just one week of playing I had felt that there was no more left for it to give but charming theme it uses (50s era cartoons).

Verdict: Save your pennies unless you have loads of mates/pads in the same room
