It’s Great But Really Hard On You
Mon Jul 29 2024 Flinch 009

It’s a great story and everything but things get really hard on you. Constant budget cuts lead to the department getting smaller which actually hurts it more than helps it.

Fun and addicting management

Way longer than I was anticipating with a mostly gripping story, that gets better as it goes along, and some interesting characters and awesome music! Gameplay is enjoyable but tedious at times, although it does occasionally throw a few neat wrinkles in. I do understand where people are coming from with their complaints about the game’s rather cold depiction of racism, but I think they were most likely trying to reflect or satirize reality in the game. And you can definitely ignore the mayors directives with no penalty at all if you do your job well. Now, I’m on to the sequel! Thanks for making such a quality game here devs!

I agree with this game being Racially Insensitive
Thu Jan 09 2020 Donna Fenomenale !

I don’t care what anyone says, I understand about it being a straight and narrow storyline but this game mentions a FEW different times about blacks. Firing all blacks, “black gangster” etc. I was willing to ignore the first comment and charge it to the storyline but I agree with the person who mentioned it as “racially insensitive”. Now, on the positive side, this game is fun to play, it has great developments, graphics, and does have a good storyline. The only thing I wasn’t too big of a fan about was the comments made about blacks. I said what I said bc if they mentioned your race throughout the entire storyline as gangsters and in derogatory ways as such, you will feel a bit offended too.

Great story

I have the game on PC, but never finished it, so I decided to buy the mobile version so I could play it. It’s a great game! Additionally, ignore the “racially insensitive” reviews as this game is designed to make you face moral choices. If you are highly sensitive to and cannot appreciate social commentary, you may want to avoid this game.

It has no sound

I really loved this game on ps4, but it has no sound, no music, no sound effects, I would like to get this fixed, so I can enjoy the game as its best

Really a great sim

Story sim game that lets you choose. I don’t typically stay on one game for too long but I play this quite often.

Fantastic game, but won't install
Sat Dec 29 2018 BensGraphics (Verified)

I purchased both This Is the Police and This Is the Police 2 and they were some of the greatest games I've ever played. I wanted to revisit the game on my phone, but once purchased it won't download. Yes, I have WiFi and the newest iOS version but it still won't download. TL;DR: Buy it on Steam, not the App Store (also I recommend the sequel more)

Racially insensitive
Tue Apr 30 2019 LiveFromNYC11211

I can’t play this game due to frequent inappropriate handling of race and racial issues. I was told to “fire all black employees” from the police department. I was tipped off by a mobster that “some black gangster” was robbing him. Neither was appropriate. Look, this is a game about the police. This is a topic that in the USA carries a heavy history of racial tension. I’m not going to enjoy playing a police chief in racially insensitive game.
