Cop the recruit is a Nintendo DS game being published by Ubisoft. When I walked past this and caught a glimpse of the engine, I was amazed at what I was seeing accomplished on the DS. The game has pretty solid draw distance, rock solid 60 fps, and pretty good amount of objects on screen at once. I hate that my HD camera batteries were dead and i forgot the charger, but I was able to record some video with the camera on my phone.
As you can see from the video the developers have a done a good job. One of the developers was actually present while I played the game. All I could think was is “This is what GTA:China Town Wars should have been.” I was also told that this engine was developed by just two guys that Ubisoft jumped on the chance to publish this as soon as they saw the demo. I hope they spit shine and polish a few things and get the controls a little more intuitive. The engine is great. I have one other recommending I think they should try. If Ubisoft is reading this, I say come up with a better title. Cop: The Recruit sounds just a little bit to generic. How about “Second Chance: Hood Redemption.” Its just a suggestion, you know since the recruit was just a hood/thug/criminal who got caught and received a second chance to become an officer of law and redeem himself. Yeah I know its corny. I am definitely keeping this game on my radar.
