The article's a good read. It's not about the first game from 1987.
Yeah,the first games were quite good.
I actually know someone who got into policing because of these games - and was a full detective by the time Open Season released - who was appalled by this Open Season and the following games.
It's a shame,really,because after that there weren't any good "beat cop" games to this day anymore, at least I am not aware of any.
(Police Simulator is well... not having any story and so PG-washed that it's basically parking enforcement...)
