* DifficultySpike: The game throws more conditions at the player after each TimeSkip. After the first coma, the city has become more dangerous and officers refuse to respond to callouts alone. After the second, officers' political affiliations become a factor, making it dangerous to pair up officers backing opposing mayoral candidates.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The game, frankly, gets more frustrating the longer it goes on, though in that respect, does an ''excellent'' job of putting the player in Jack Boyd's shoes. The story itself, however, holds up quite well, thanks to some excellent voice acting on the part of Jon St. John.
