Seeing how well the new quest series (SQ) was selling, Sierra decided to create new quests for gamers all over the world. This time they turned their attention to the world of the American police. PQ1 was made to be as realistic as possible. So in order to book the criminals you will have to follow strict police procedures, fail in this and the criminals may walk. This is the remade VGA version of the first Police Quest game, made by Sierra.
You play the role of Sonny Bonds, a rookie cop with a glorious future waiting. You work at the main police station in Lytton, a quiet and friendly town. Until the day when the druglord Jesse Bains decides to use the town as his playing field. You get assigned the mission to haul him in and put him behind bars. This game gives you an in depth view into the lives of real police officers, and it is not an easy life. Danger lurks in every part of the town. A good tip is to save often.
The game might be difficult at first, but do not give up. It is a great game, when you get the hang of it. It must be said though, that the point-and-click based VGA remake is a lot easier than the first release. Unfortunately, I feel that the developers have not succeeded in increasing the gameplay as much in this game, compared to other remakes. This is my opinion, however, but it will cost the game a point. So a total of four for the game.
