game looks pretty dope. shooter mixed with RPG and some RTS. interesting idea, reminds me somewhat of blade runner back in the day.
deff. gonna have to give this one a try. reviews on it seem to be very positive too.

Wow, what the hell took them so long for an international release then?
Did it have to pass KGB screening er something? Heh, j/k.
I can't read russian, but the #s at the bottom of the page were a bit disheartening, (65%,81% if I remember correctly), and usually on foreign games the reviewers are very generous with scores (since its from their country).
So makes me kinda worried.
Edit: Also, the 1.22 patch is out (all languages) - http://www.dcegames.com/support/int/valid_patch.php3?id=181&lien=http://www.dcegames.com/support/patchs/COPS2170_Patch_1.22.exe

ag.ru stuff rated "COPS 2170:The Power of Law" 65% and ag.ru readers/users rated it 81%. but i'll tell you that 81% is only for patriotic feelings - this game is a crap.

It's out at last. It's turn-based strategy role-playing game. Similar to Silent Storm. I'm getting it now.

don't try to throw it into a bunch of genres, this is a fallout 'ripoff' although that isn't a bad thing
of course fallout ripped off other genre making games, it is a fallout clone in a different setting
ive played for only 15-30 minutes and i have no complaints so far, i hope the quests are decent
it is obviously a translation although the voice acting isnt bad

Grx looks a little outdated, but who cares - when Gameplay is good 
Reminds me on "Incubation" (Battle Isle Spin-off)...if it's half as good it'll be still a great game!
I'll give it a try!

Since JAGGED ALLIANCE 2 and FALLOUT TACTICTS only turn-based strategy
worth to mention was SILENT STORM , and UFO : AFTERMATH wich was a utter crap.
So , due to a lack of that genre ; I am grabing it right now ; it cant be worst than UFO : AFTERMATH ; at least::

I refuse to mention this game in the same sentence as. Fallout Tactics or Silent Storm. (Let's see if I can get away with that...)
This is just another one of those lame attempts at making a turn-based strategy game with RPG-influences. The graphics are dated, the story isn't very exciting, the voiceacting is horrible and the maps are boring. It's Paradise Cracked all over again...
Silent Storm is the bomb, Cops 2170 is cannonfodder.
Oh yeah, just check out the trailer for ALFA on CD2, another P.O.S. game to stay away from.

We don't have much choice, do we? Tactical role-playing strategy games are very rare those days. I haven't got time to install it yet, but I hope it's still better than Paradise Cracked. ALFA is going to be real time strategy, so it will suck like all of them (maybe with small exception of Europa Universalis and other Paradox games).

Just played it now and all I can say is that it is the biggest pile of goat excretion!!!! GFX are so bad, that it just hurts my eyes looking at them, something like from 1995. Even worse is the stick like animation of your character. This isn't helped by the fact that all other characters just stand absolutely still and say the same thing over and over again each time you talk to them. They also all have the same voices for the most part!!
Sound is equally bad, what little sfx there is that is. Music is typical sci-fi crap and gets really repetative after a while. voices crack me up, as if they are some strange hybrid b/w english and russian.
Gameplay? What gameplay? Got bored after the first 2 minutes. You go talk to some head dude in police force, he gives u mission, u go to location, kill a few enemies, report back and process repeats. I decided to continue playing for the next hour, and i seriously want that 1 hour of my life back!!!!!
In other words, this pos isn't worth the cd's u burn it on. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright ladies and gents, here is my long awaited review (if you can call it that, see below).
In short, this title is utter shit. Allow me to explain.
1. The installation screen music consists of a low, unceasing, basslike hum. That's it, no music, just pictures and this fucking unceasing hum.
2. The "intro" consists of the main character taking a few paces forward and the game title appearing.
3. The first mission "intro" is voiced by what sounds like one of those mechanical blind readers (I'm not sure of the name of those. You know, the thing where you type in any word/phrase and it sounds it out? So those with vision impairment can use a comp). Yes, the intonation is THAT bad.
4. The game itself - Well, I didn't get very far. There is no tutorial to speak of, you start with absolutley no mission objectives, (next to an npc that spouts random shit, and has nothing to do with your mission). The interface is horrid and unintuitve, the graphics (although this should be considered the least important factor, the important ones are utter shit anyhow), are grainy, and have no sense of polish or style. NPCs seem to mutter random shit, the voiceovers are absolutley fuckin sickening (I'm convinced they used one of those computer generated voices the whole way through).
I could go on and on folks. However this title is such a peice of utter shit, it simply isn't worth my time. I quit after about 45 minutes in (during which time I fired my pistol at a target directly infront of me, my character though turned BACKWARDS and shot blankly at air, though the target was hit).
How they even got this shit PUBLISHED is beyond me. Dreamcatcher must have very low fuckin standards.
I wrote this in hopes of saving some of you some time, and the pain of experiencing this title first hand.
I'm accepting votes for my Noble Peace Prize now =)
