For those of you who don't know what Autobahn is, it's a long stretch of highway in Europe and is considered the most dangerous highway to drive on. This game is a bad depiction of that. You just play as an Autobahn cop and all you do is go on GTA-esque missions. Not much for excitement, but if you liked the game Wreckless, this game will be up your alley.
GRAPHICS: They aren't bad surprisingly. They aren't quite like Red Dead Revolver or Splinter Cell Conviction good, but they can hold their own.
SOUND: The sound effects are actually pretty top notch. The car sounds very good, but the voice acting is some terrible attempts at Euro accents.
STORY: I couldn't find a story in here. As far as I'm concerned, you just roam around doing meaningless missions until something big happens.
CONTROLS: Surprisingly decent. Sometimes they don't respond right away, but they are pretty easy to grab ahold of.
GAMEPLAY: This is where I couldn't find much good. The only fun part is to drive around aimlessly and cause you own destruction. That fun could hold someone over for about an hour or 2. The driving is very smooth, but sometimes very jerky and difficulty making turns is a problem.
FAULTS:
-Story isn't much of anything in this game
-Controls aren't responsive when switching from forward to reverse
-Turning corners is difficult due to the fact that you don't have an E-Brake button, which is replaced by a "press button, watch this rev your engine to 7000rpms and have you spin out of control" button
-Checkpoint system is frustrating, sending you all the way to the start of the mission if you fail is not cool.
I didn't like this game, but others will like the Wreckless vibe of the game. Of all the elements the game has to offer, in the end, Autobahn Polizei wasn't for me. I wouldn't really recommend it for anyone other than fans of 1. Wreckless 2. Games that don't allow you to leave your vehicle. Like Driver. Except Driver was fun.
