High-speed chases through live traffic
You are an Autobahn police officer, and the job is simple: someone is running, and you have to stop them. Speeds climb close to 200 MPH while you weave through everyday traffic on highways, city streets and rural roads. Flip on the siren and cars pull over to let you pass, which feels great right up until a truck changes your plans. When you finally catch a suspect, ramming them into a wall and holding them there makes the arrest. The handling is arcade-easy on purpose: you spend your attention on the road, the traffic and the crook, not on fighting the controls. It is fast, loud and constantly on the edge of a crash, which is exactly the point.
Cases, free roam and a world full of odd jobs
Five criminal cases make up the story, each split into missions you can tackle in different ways, from pursuits to escorting VIPs and moving valuable cargo. Beyond the cases, the large free-roaming map keeps working: crimes break out as you drive, and bonus assignments, hidden objectives and mini-games are scattered across more than 40 tracks and locations. You choose your starting spot and your vehicle, then decide whether to follow the next case mission or just cruise and see what happens. The missions themselves are mostly point-to-point driving, chases and races, so the variety comes from the world and the cars rather than the paperwork.
What can you drive, and how bad can it get?
What can you drive besides police cars?
More than 20 vehicles are in the game, and the range goes well beyond patrol cars: karts, trucks, sports cars, high-speed prototypes and a six-wheeled armored personnel carrier that shoves buses out of the way. Every AI vehicle has a visual damage system, so collisions leave dents, and hard ones take off wheels or doors. Losing both front wheels means you stop steering, which is a lesson the Autobahn teaches quickly.
Is it serious police work or more of a comedy?
Both, and the comedy is not always on purpose. Traffic politely pulls over for your siren, cows do not survive an encounter, and trains do not brake for anyone parked on the tracks. The voice acting and dialogue are so stiff they become funny, and the story plays like a straight-faced action show that never notices how silly it is. If you want a game to laugh with rather than at, this fits.
Can you play it with friends?
Yes, on one screen: split-screen racing supports up to four players on a single computer, and the race mode lets you set up events with any vehicle in the game, including the heavy machinery. Watching a semi-truck leave a path of destruction through a race is half the appeal.
Is it hard to get into?
Not really. Three difficulty settings let casual players and racing veterans pick their challenge, and the arcade handling means you are chasing criminals within minutes. One thing to know: the game does not always explain itself clearly, so you sometimes have to figure out what an objective wants on your own. If you are fine with a little guesswork, nothing else stands in your way.
