Contraband Police

You can be the good cop and say “nyet” to all of those who are wrong, or you can have a change of heart and decide to be an infiltrant for the Blood Fist. (Un)fortunately, it looks like your decision doesn’t have all that large of an impact, which may be good in comparison with Papers Please, where certain paths could lead toward an early game over. The visuals are decent and the sound design is also of reasonable quality but what matters most in a simulator game is that the gameplay is on point, and this is where Contraband Police truly delivers.

Contraband Police gives players meaningful choices, both big and small, that make the player feel like they have an impact on the world they find themselves in. Fun and interesting adventures are frequent and well paced, and the game offers a polished core gameplay loop with an action spin that greatly expands on what Papers Please started.

Overall Contraband Police has good graphics and a pretty dynamic storyline to keep you curious about what’s happening. From day-to-day occurrences to hopping into a van in the hopes of making it to a side quest in time. You’ll find that there is much more to the game than meets the eye.

Speaking about the game, it is worth noting the poor graphics, very boring fragments and unprincipled chases. Sometimes some bugs are not always correctly encountered with objects. And after the final mission, the campaign ends without trying on, for example, continuing to connect in endless mode with a random generation of tasks.

Overall, I find Contraband Police to be a fun experience, but there are definitely better alternatives with similar premises and gameplay. There are some seriously annoying parts such as chasing down suspects or just driving in general but it's not everyday you let out an evil smile as you hack a car to bits with an axe, only to find 20 pounds of drugs in the bumper.

Contraband Police nie jest więc Paper, Please w 3D. To raczej gra o łapaniu przemytników, a nie fabularna opowieść pełna wyborów moralnych. To też symulator, ze wszystkimi ograniczeniami tego gatunku. Nie będę jednak ukrywać, że to też jeden z lepszych, bardziej unikatowych i rozbudowanych przedstawicieli tego typu gier. To bardzo kompetentna i przemyślana w swoich podstawach produkcja, która dostarczy doznań jakich nie oferują inne tytułu.
