Power of Law: Review @ IGN
   

IGN's Tom McNamara tries to blow away Cops 2170: The Power of Law with his very critical <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/583/583911p1.html" target="_blank">critique</a>, in which he awards Cops an overall dismal scoring of 3.0 out of 10 (readers "upped" the overall score to 7.2 out of 10, btw)... <br> <br><blockquote><em>Closing Comments <br>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. <br> <br></em></blockquote>

Too bad. I didn't want my suspicions confirmed like this, but the review sounds extremely plausible - doesn't look like MiST learned anything from PC. Oh well.
