FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Skills are cool and all are unique and own uses to them and can pick any order to them to suit own playstyle.

Weapons are fun and all have own stats and own feel to them and fun to use.

Tasks are great as very varied and can pick to choose location assignment time and much more and unlock new areas and more also one think that is a very good is an option when on patrol to turn on auto dealing with crimes which is great as means not have remember all crimes person has done as fills it in for you and turn off call outs if you want to explore and stuff.

Characters that you meet on your adventure are great as all have own look and own personality to them.

World is great and fun to explore as full of stuff you can do such as races and secrets and just being in world never know what can happen.

Controls are easy to learn and easy to pick up.

Combat is fun and keeps you on your toes as never know what is going to happen for example was giving a car a ticket for parking violation then saw car drop rubbish stopped them he got out opened fire and was wanted and drunk and had drugs on him but was originally just getting a ticket for littering.

Alot of stuff to such as alot of variety to missions and random encounters and so much to do such as races, secrets to find and randomness when on patrol and much more.

Can be abit daunting as alot to learn such as alot of rules and conditions for tickets and stuff but can see them anytime in game.

Overall can be daunting as alot to learn. However for £24.99, the story is fun and the interesting skills are fun as all have own uses and weapons are fun as all have own look and feel, stats to them and the characters you meet all have own look and personality to them and the world is fun to explore and full of stuff to do and feels alive with controls are easy to learn and pick up and the combat keeps you on your toes as never know what gonna happen and so much to do like races and secrets to find and much more aswell.
