It was pretty late last night before I got a chance to download Calling All Cars, so I didn’t get much time with the game. The fact that it took a long time to download didn’t help matters any either. At least the price was right: $10.99 Cdn. For once us Canadians aren’t getting ripped off by the conversion.
First I have to say that I’m quite impressed by the presentation. The menu system has a convict taunting you as you make your selections. The game has some nice options. You can bring a friend with you online splitscreen, which is cool, and you can even set his/her name.
The game itself is quite hectic and I didn’t really manage to work out a winning strategy. I tried online and got totally creamed. I can’t seem to ram the other cars to make them let go of the criminal. Ah well. The game doesn’t make full use of the levels, even with the paddy wagon. The action tends to concentrate around the police station. I haven’t even tried all the levels yet – that’s something I’ll be doing as soon as I can.
All together, it’s a great package and quite an enjoyable game. I’ll definitely be playing it a lot more.

The game is crazyness, and thegraphics are cool. It like a game of hot potato. You need to be boosting in order to take the criminal. The jumps are hard to make at times. It also seems hard to defend your self when you have the criminal. I havent tried online yet, can you join others on the buddy list? Once I get used to what is going on, the game will be a blast Iam sure.

Games is tons of fun multiplayer, and online with chat. At least the dudes i played were very friendly and just laughing having fun. i placed 3rd 4 times and 1st once and 4 th once. Best online game i’ve played thus far.
Single player… get read to get frustrated and replaying/restarting levels till god shines down on you and you get a break or two. I found that the last 2 levels are almost easiest when you follow the paddy wagon and helli’s around waiting for anouther car to come up, steal the crook, then boost into the paddy. The cars are HARD to unlock.

I’m loving the game thus far !! It’s great fun and a much needed departure from the games that have been coming out
