I always loved this game, the whole "cleaning the streets" bit was the best feature here.

Like It's predecessor, you're given the ranks of a police officer and have to solve/stop various crimes that can effect overall rank in a positive or negative way depending on your actions to stop the crime. The more you rank up, the more unlockables you get.

This game brought life to The Big Apple way before GTAIV and does so In a more realistic fashion for a game of its time. Along with the bolstering city, comes a ton of interior buildings that crimes can take place in, bringing variety to the "response" to crimes, allowing for street play or demostic disturbances. The more crime you stop, the cleaner the neighborhood is.

Graphically this game isn't the best looking, just like with Streets of L.A, everything is very unpolished and has rough texture components. But far from game breaking.

This game truly has a lot of fun moments to be had and is a far more superior entry than the first.
