Cops is certainly a highly playable game, with a mostly intriguing plot and some interesting action. Mission locations are huge, with lots of nooks and crannies to explore and boxes to open for bonus goodies and people to talk to (in order to further your investigations). And, of course, bad guys to shoot. You play Katy, a rookie officer whom, from the first mission, is torn between playing a by-the-book cop or joining a secret order of police officers who believe themselves above the law (and act accordingly). You're also faced with another decision: to help those mutants, or to gun them down and take the side of the Syndicate. The various choices result in branching plotlines.
