So I reinstalled SWAT4 and picked up where I left off and I am also making my way through the Police Quest Series.
Right now, I have a hankering for the blue shield, for walking the line between law and order. So aside from the SWAT series and Police Quest, what other (GOOD) police games are there.
Google only gives me poorly made flash games.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
(with riot shield, into the face)
Not going to win any awards for realism though.
edit: and obviously Max Payne.
He kills half the criminals in New York in just under 48 hours.
EDIT: Also filled with shooting goodness, Virtua Cop 2.
Oh man. I also recommend this game. I played the demo for hours on end.
Just do what you've been doing, good sir. Once you're done with those, every other police game you play will feel so shitty.
End of thread.
Oh man, a RoboCop fallout mod would be so good. But no, the NES ones sucked.
Robocop vs Terminator for the Genesis (I think?) wasn't bad.
I remember I was playing that and I got some powerup that made my bullets fly around like a snake and rape everything, and I just held the button and walked across the whole stage.
Hell, even the demo is great. You should definitely check this out if you have access to a 360. I don't think it ever came out on the PC, but I could be wrong.
I like the cut of your jib.
Yeah, Crackdown is pretty much the best cop game ever.
or
ESWAT
I would recommend more than one save file though. Those games have a way of trapping you a little while after you'd forgotten to do something or picked up the wrong thing. This would require a restart.
I havnt played those in years but I dont remember having finished 3. 1, 2, 4 and swat I finished (I had them all as part of a boxset) but for some reason I just couldnt work properly the driving portion of 3.

Is this in any way related to the game just called Urban Chaos, because I loved that game something fierce.
That's a funny one. It is not a sequel, it has no connection, and very dissimilar gameplay, but it is part of the same franchise, from the same publisher.
Riot Response was going to be released under a different name, but legal complications meant Eidos did a last minute name change, so they fell back on Urban Chaos, and added a suffix.
It is basically a brutal FPS, with pretty decent melee and weapons, where you get to bash peoples faces in with riot shields. Very over the top, and very gratuitous, but incredibly satisfying.
Yeah, but the Crime Scene Investigation of that game is so underutilized it's not funny. Great game, but I would have liked to do a bit more CSI-ing.
The True Crime games were pretty fun, too.
APB. Its being created by the same guys behind Crackdown. The lead on the project is one of the guys behind the original GTA way back when.

1st, you sneak towards the embassy, hiding from spot lights, diving in to bushes, etc. Stealth action that was not equaled until Metal Gear Solid (ok, that point is perhaps debatable)
2nd, you position snipers around the building and take shots at the carnival game looking terrorists as they cross windows. Interestingly, I think terrorist positions in this portion correspond to their locations in the next section.
3rd, rappel down the side of the building and burst through a window like a bad ass.
4th, wander around in a crude 1st person shooter style mode and shoot terrorists while making sure to NOT shoot hostages.
I don't think I ever beat it, because I enjoyed the 1st and 3rd sections far more than the 2nd and 4th. But I rented it fairly frequently just for those two sections of gameplay. I suspect the game would still hold up fairly well today, but don't hold me to that.
Also, Pursuit Force and its sequel on PSP. Kinda sorta cop jumps from car to car to kinda sorta 'catch' fleeing suspects.
BTW, how do I shoot rockets in narc, I remember not getting a lot rockets off and just running with infinite ammo in the game genie.
Man, I would absolutely love a modern, good, Robocop game. Maybe on the RAGE engine, or a Fallout mod as mentioned would be nice too.
Back more to the topic, the True Crime games aren't horrible. Police Quest is probably the best example.
Also, they're totally zany, but the Sam and Max games! Both the original classic and the newer ones.
I liked Crackdown, but when playing it I always felt it should have been a game based off of The Tick.

Nevermind I take it back. Rescue was awesome.
KEMCO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
