More On: This Is the Police

Woop-woop! That's the sound of da beast!

I'm supposed to be writing a post here about how This is the Police from THQ Nordic is releasing on consoles, but I just had to get that out of my system first...

Anyway, This is the Police did release on PS4 and Xbox One yesterday, hooray! The game is certainly a unique one. Basic premise is you are the police chief with half a year left on the job and a bank account needing half a million dollars deposited. The game is very story driven about corruption, crime, and intrigue and the gameplay centers around managing your officers, responding to emergencies, and investigating cases. Will you go corrupt or... Of course you're going to go corrupt.

We have an earlier trailer that meanders through a bit of backstory, gives of glimpse of the pacing and tone, and you'll find the console trailer below and the press release below that by following the Read more link.
