After all that come a pleasant surprise. The music is actually pretty darn good and deserving of a better game. Cops 2170 actually has some solid acid breakbeat going on, with a tinge of industrial. It's not quite enough to soothe the nerves this game hits from moment to moment, but it does manage to dull the sharp blade of pain I feel deep inside my head every time I have to restart the game, or refer to the multiple pages of key bindings to figure out how to use a healing capsule thingy to heal myself, or exit a vehicle, or trade an item. The interface needs work, folks. The mechanics need work. The fun factor really isn't there, and there isn't even a compelling story to make it worth wading through a game that feels like it should have come out as shareware several years ago.. I liked the music, though.
