Police Simulator: Patrol Duty

It's fun to play but definitely needs some fixes. Sometimes I'll go to arrest somebody and they just vanish. The handling while you're driving is just awful and like sliding on butter. A lot of repeat dialogue. Would love to see an update to resolve these issues.

the game if very fun! but it does need to be fixed. i'm having an issue where, i get stuck highlighting someone (or something) then i cant switch my tool, cant drive my car, ect. the most realistic game i've played. please fix the game, needs work.

Now don't get me wrong the game is very good and one of the best police sim games i have ever played, but it has a lot of bugs and is can crash but the whole getting points is a very creative thing to do because without that feeling of progression it would get really boring really fast. all in all i'll give it a 7.5/10

buggy but fun and there arent many other police simulators to choose from

Not perfect by any standards.
Prisoner transport, Ambulance and Tow Trucks get jammed and the guys have to walk.
Crazy physics will send car flying. controls or action will freeze require a hard application kill.
Yet I'm still recommending it, 6/10 but there's worst crap. Yes, reminds me of the old Police Quests and I love those games.

Good game but to much bugs
- Car locked without reason sometimes when you park
- Paramedics walking slow like they going on coffe
- Cheap interaction with collegues
- If you have mission for suspects you can't pull over car
- Can't free patrol, always some missions
- and biggest bug is..... some fatal error!!!

I recommend this game based on the fact it is fun if you want to pass time without to many complex mechanics. It has bugs as in tow trucks not showing up, unresponsive commands, radial wheel not always reacting while selecting. It also has, in my opinion, some bad mechanics build in like not being able to start running after using a service weapon of getting out of the car. It takes 1 or 2 seconds to allow you to start to run or perform the next action. It is annoying if you are chasing a criminal. Also the unbalanced aim and hits of a service weapon are somewhat annoying. Like I point the weapon to the running criminal, he's still running and you have to stand still to use the weapon. Crossair is still red but you don't always hit the criminal. Found that running past the criminal and then aim to where he will pass is the easy option. It feels that the medium range is not medium but more closely to short range.
But the game is still fun at some things. Easy to play and the bugs can mostly be ignored or try to find a way around like the running past a criminal.
I do think the game is still able to become a very good game if the development team would put some time and skill in it. Take a look at other games that use same mechanics like the start running when you get out of the car. Now I always have to press the button twice. I am used to faster play styles.
Better interactions with criminals, better graphics if it comes to spotting a criminal. As it is now, you only have to search for people that are standing still, those are the criminals you need to find (if you pick that shift). Reading or remembering the descriptions is not even a thing now, you can do without.
So yeah the game get's repetitive, I only get shifts to find drug trafficers as an officer 2. It has bugs but it is a somewhat mindless playable game. If you look for something like that, buy it. But only buy it on a discount. I've seen better ea games for € 15 then this and this seems to be a finished product.
