  Looks more like Batman: Arkham Asylum crossed with Call of Duty. Not sure what I think of it. The graphics are certainly pretty, and the atmosphere is cinematic, but I kept thinking that "real" police officers would be taking their situation a little more seriously. Why were they just strolling around casually? Why not guns drawn, fanning out and quickly clearing each nook and cranny? Because they whole thing was a staged carnival ride, not real a tactical simulation.
