Back in the ancient times of 1997, Grand Theft Auto was brewing up a storm. Initially toying with the idea of playing as the good guys, the developers wisely shifted focus to the more exciting criminal underworld. Fast forward to today, and The Precinct emerges, offering a fresh take on law enforcement in a gritty 80s-inspired sandbox city. This game brings back the thrill of chasing down miscreants and mobsters in rain-soaked streets, reminiscent of classic cop shows.
Set in the 80s, The Precinct cleverly avoids modern distractions like cybercrime, delivering a pure cops-and-robbers experience. It's a nostalgic trip back to a time when policing was all about sirens blazing and justice prevailing. The game pays homage to iconic 1980s police dramas, complete with rookie-veteran partnerships and mustachioed chiefs, adding to its retro charm. From foot pursuits to high-speed car chases, the action-packed gameplay keeps you on your toes.
The Precinct's attention to detail shines through in its handling of vehicles during intense chases, reminiscent of the original Driver game. By emphasizing correct arrest procedures, the game rewards players for following the rules and penalizes rogue behavior. While the gameplay may feel repetitive towards the end, the 80s neon-soaked setting and variety of missions keep things engaging. Fallen Tree Games' shift from criminal antics in American Fugitive to law enforcement in The Precinct has paid off, offering a refreshing take on the classic GTA-inspired genre.
