The show only ran in areas where Rio Grande "Cracked" gasoline was sold. The writer-director of the show was William N Robson. Each episode was dramatization of a true crime story, how each crime was solved and justice served.

Episodes were introduced mainly by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Sgt Jesse Rosenquist, a police dispatcher was a part of the entire run of the series. Addeddate That episode is actually about a man who threatens to blow up police headquarters.

Reviewer: mva - favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 15, Subject: Pretty good for - Edited to add commentary re language Before getting into the review, I should mention that of the first dozen or so episodes, only a couple are correctly identified. It's obvious from the "broadcast number" given by the dispatcher at the beginning of each episode; one ep recounts events in , two years after the supposed episode aired.

I expect more from an OTRR certified set. Now, on with the show, er, review. This is a wonderful snapshot of early 30s pop culture. The dialogue is right out of Little Caesar - "Okay you mugs, get your gats out, see? We might have to take it on the lam after this job - we don't want some wise Copper to snap the bracelets on us! Playing as rogue copper of some sort against up to three other opponents, the single goal of the game is to capture a criminal and escort him to jail.

Each level aside from the last has a number of different ways to lock up said criminals, and the more difficult the task, the more points you'll score. While you might earn a single point by driving him through a garage-esque drop off point, you also might earn two points for launching off a ramp and driving through a second-story spot or even three points by navigating a winding incline to the jail's roof.

It sounds simple, but when faced with knowledgeable opponents or the tougher AI levels , it can be really tricky. Jail sections will open and close, ramps will raise and lower and one jail will even freeze over on occasion, forcing you to hunt down a moving paddy wagon and transfer the criminal while on the move. Roaming helicopters that sometimes hover about will net you more points than the jails, but keeping steady under the chopper while other cars try and steal the criminal can be a tough, tough task.

And to make matters trickier, Calling All Cars' three weapons make sure that those without criminals are often armed and ready to knock him loose again. Again, though the setup is relatively simple, actually delivering the baddies is anything but easy. Calling All Cars was clearly designed as a multiplayer game, and this is where it truly shines. With all the player options you could ask for four player split-screen, four player online support, two player split-screen while online and text and voice support , you're able to recreate a party atmosphere even while you're at home alone.

As is often the case, it's still most fun when you have four players in the same room, but if you've got three or four folks online using headsets, it's a trash-talking marathon. And it's this trash talk that's a major ingredient to the game's success.

Each time a new criminal is spawned, he quickly becomes a hot potato, bouncing between cars faster than you can say "Book 'em, Danno! When this sort of thing happens, it's impossible not to scream bloody murder, and therein lays the game's excitement. Really, every time we've seen someone pick up the controller and jump in a round, the screaming and yelling begins and doesn't let up until the match is over, and that's a great thing.

While the game is undoubtedly fun, it certainly isn't perfect. For starters, there are only four maps. A somewhat legitimate argument can be made that Calling All Cars lives and dies by its action and not its environments, much like a fighting game does.

While this is true to a certain extent, it's hard not to wish that at least a couple more maps had been included.

Granted, each of the four maps are really damn fun and offer different hurdles to overcome, changing how you have to play the game, but the selection still feels small. The limited number of maps is really our only gripe with regards to the multiplayer aspect of the game, but the single-player portion has a number of problems.

While you'll spend much more time with the multiplayer than you will the single-player, you'll need to drop in a solo game in order to unlock a number of the game's nice selection of cars.

The first issue is that the computer AI can do things that you can't, specifically with regards to the magnet. Use template. Search this site. Home About Mr. Gym Rules. Grade Common Assessments.
