It's time to fight crime and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta gum.

For those like me that have memories of Police Quest, cast those aside. This is no point-and-click adventure. If I could describe this game in a sentence, it would be: the strategic part of X-Com with the battles simulated by numbers. It's more of a time and resource management game, but with a unique premise and good execution. You control 2 shifts of police officers, detectives, and once-per-day units like SWAT throughout each day, responding to situations, helping the community, and whatever else may arise (and plenty does). In addition to this, you deal with officers calling out and giving excuses, maintaining your rosters, dealing with City Hall to secure more forces/funding, a mafia whose grip on the city is unrelenting, saving up 500k in retirement money, and a wide variety of other things. Also, the protagonist is voiced by Duke Nukem.

It's fun, and worth a look if this sounds interesting to you. If you're still on the fence, do what I did and watch someone play the first 5 minutes. It convinced me nearly instantly, and I regret nothing.

The protagonist is voiced by Duke Nukem? HELL YEAH! Best gravelly voice that isn't David Hayter.
