Spoilers ahead! Sorry for not alerting first hand.
Just started playing Policenauts and I got to the part where you take out all the purses except the one with the bomb (when your chasing that amphibian guy). So far this game has sucked! Started playing this because of how great Snatcher was, and the high ratings for this, but man does this game take a crap on itself! The beginning is still the best part (when you meet your ex-wife), but the rest of it, so far, feels like some unfinished prototype hacked together and fragmented into a final release. It's got so many sexual references and interactions that the plot doesn't seem to even matter or exist, and the puzzles are extraordinarly redundant and thin (practically no puzzles at all!). It might as well be one of those $2.00 manga dating games. I'm playing the PSX version BTW and I'm surprised the game doesn't use 640x480 resolution (every screen looks like a low resolution mpeg in pause mode). Rise of the Dragon beats the heck out of this game, and so does Snatcher (the sexual references are actually funny and unpredicting in that one, and Metal Gear beats the heck out of Ed for a partner!). This feels like one of those cheap CD-i games.
So are there any other good games of this genre? So far I've only played "Rise of the Dragon" and "Snatcher".
