It's fun and engaging, but, as a free-to-play, we'll need to invest some money when we reach a certain point. However, it's worth a try, since there's been a lot of care put into it.

It is obviously drawing in new players to this fun core concept. But with this relaunch, it would have been great to see new avenues explored, because the concept is one that deserves to be expanded.

Even though we had a few problems with the controls, we also had a lot of fun with Smash Cops Heat. It's a fine throwaway arcade game with some decent variety in mission types, and the television helicam and funky menu music make this a very entertaining experience.
