WorthPlaying's Reldan reveals this wholly unenthusiastic review of Mist Land's Cops 2170: The Power of Law, in which Reldan slaps Cops with an overall (albeit dismal) scoring of 4.5 out of 10...

The graphics are possibly the game's strongest suit, in that they are mediocre instead of the usual lackluster or plain poorness of everything else. There's nothing you're going to see here that'll wow you, and certainly nothing you haven't seen before, except for maybe giant gun-toting rodents that one-hit you. If you told me this game was from several years back, I would believe you based off nothing but the look. The design of the areas is bland, typically making them into little more than open spaces that you run around in (slowly and almost always in turn-based mode), hoping against hope that you don't lose from a single attack that you couldn't prevent.

I covered the voice acting above, and unfortunately the rest of the sound isn't much better. The music is techno, which you can't appreciate if you're not into it, and the sound effects are very simple and generic. You aren't going to get much replay out of this (and that's assuming you somehow managed to get through it once) because there is nothing but the single-player game, which has a fixed difficulty that cannot be changed. Cops: 2170 is mediocre at best, and nail-bitingly frustrating at worst. A couple of interesting concepts lay mired beneath poorly executed game design.
