Smash Cops for Negative User Reviews

✓ Hate the in-game purchasesIt's a good game but setting the difficulty level such that you need to purchase credits to proceed is horrible. Deleting..Julian MelvilleVersion: 1.01.03

✓ Too shortThe gameplay is fair, however there's no storyline, It's too short and the IAP's are ridiculous. Why pay an extra £2 to get something that takes 10 mins gameplay to unlock. I would probably wait a while to see whether they update the game to make it longer before buying it..Passion DragonVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Crashes!!!Why buy a game that only has two working levels and the rest of them crash your iPad?.MarktremVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Stupid cop aiThe ai on the other cops is terrible they keep driving into me and commiting sucide which always gives me a bad score plz fix cause this is a very fun game other than that.Lolagram manVersion: 1.02.02

✓ Could be greatBut the controls are appalling. It would be better if they added a steering slider on the left side and gas paddle and break on the right with the ram button placed in the centre where you control the car from currently. This would make the game playable and enjoyable because as it is it's just an uncontrollable mess of a game. I suggest getting this game however as its currently free and hopefully if enough people complain about the terrible controls they will fix them or at least add alternative control methods to chose from. If the controls are fixed it would be 5 stars..23162Version: 1.02.02

✓ Worst game I triedIf you want to waste your money, buy this game. If I could give it less than one star, I would have done so..السياريVersion: 1.09.04

✓ Not ImpressedWhile the graphics are good the game gets to a point where it is harder to complete a level i.e level 6 trying to negotiate the cones is difficult and it gets to the point that you give up and lose interest in the game not to mention that at certain points you have to buy more of the game to progress further. Don't think I'll continue with his game sorry :(.Roland JVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Fun, but too shortThe game is a lot of fun, but it's very short and pretty shallow. There are two types of missions. Ones where you arrest a car by smashing it, or reach a finish line before you're smashed. Its more fun than it sounds. There are only 5 vehicles that you unlock as you earn stars by completing levels. Maximum 5 stars per level. There are only 20 levels. Hopefully there will be expansions with more variety to extend the game coming soon. I thought 2.99 was a bit high for this games length and depth. I'll adjust my rating if they include more levels with updates..Goose1451Version: 1.00.09

✓ It's ok.Take half a teaspoon of Burnout and mix it with a generous helping of Chase HQ, and you have the essence of Smash Cops. The map is of a pretty decent size, with plenty of stuff to see but soon becomes familiar after a few laps. The basic chase and smash mechanic is fun along with the A-team style vehicle handling, but it soon becomes obvious it's simply the same three missions over and over. The suicidal cop cars become rather annoying in the later missions, along with some rather dodgy re-spawning of enemies. Also, although the game is competently presented, it tends to be rather bland devoid of any attempt at style or humor. It's no GTA, let's just say that. Smash Cops is an ok game, certainly fine value for a couple of hours of playtime, but it just simply doesn't live up to the slew of overrated review scores..PieFacedKillaVersion: 1.00.09

✓ OkayThe game itself is fun however the controls aren't very good and a free roam mode would be nice..Sniper6622Version: 1.00.09

✓ ControlsThe controls are rubbish. You feel like there is zero response over the car. Mission 6 is impossible to complete without hitting the cones..Benjamin NoallVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Better suited for iPad then iPhoneThe idea of the push system does work say on the iPad where u have more screen space to move around in. For me on my iPhone my finger was getting in way of screen more so trying to do a 180 I end up having my finger in the middle of screen. The camera doesn't move around quick enough to the new view. It won't take you long to unlock all the levels it has to offer and then left with a more missions coming soon. It's a ok game in short busts and if u can bear with fingers getting in way on your phone but it's not one I rush out and buy..HellscaretakerVersion: 1.01.01

✓ Smashing!!!!!Great in all, but can you make more missions?.Sonic4444Version: 1.08.00

✓ Cracking app but...This is really a review for the makers. I would have happily rated this game 5 stars if it wasn't for the dodgy controls. Your thumb gets in the way and you end up going the wrong way cause you can't see your car beyond your annoying thumb. I think you should seriously look at the control method cause right now this game is not worth £1.99. I bought the getaway for £0.69 great little game with basic controls that work. Improve the controls and you got yourself a fully deserved £1.99 game. The game itself is brilliant but the control method lets it down. Cheers.BillymcdaftheadVersion: 1.00.09

✓ RubbishIf I could I would give 0 stars. The controls are pathetic, takes forever to get used to and messes up the gameplay in Hughes ways. I also found when I did almost every mission I hit(crash) my car into the suspects and he pings away?, making me normally fail that mission. Please don't waste $3 on a game that should be free, it still needs a lot of work; fixing ,many bugs and making controls much more improved. D:.Terry_26Version: 1.00.09

✓ MehCool concept but not enough gameplay and way too expensive.LolololololilolplVersion: 1.01.01

✓ IPhone X SUPPORTWE NEED IPHONE X SUPPORT! PERIOD!.MetalMKVersion: 1.09.04

✓ Not enough contentIf I pay that price for a game I dont want to be able to finish the whole game in 1.5 hours. All game modes and levels are very pretty much the same. Many games that are way better for less money or free. Save your money for something good..Buck 360Version: 1.00.09

✓ Lots of crashes... Some before game starts though :(Nice game but some levels continue to crash. Update hasn't helped fix this. Using iOS 4.2 on iPad 1 and having trouble with 1st tutorial and level 4 as well as some later levels. I might rate higher if you can fix it..... No promises though..DtunifiedVersion: 1.01.01

✓ Too greedy to want in app purchaseThe game is good but the programmers making sure u have to buy in app purchase to go through stages. I believe ive paid full price for the game and i should get a full functioning game without paying more. If u ask for 5$ in the beginning i think its more appropriate. Instead of trying to get ppl buying inside the game.LinhromVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Complete trashCompletely garbage and impossible unless you buy the stupid supercops.ThebluewizardmhVersion: 1.09.04

✓ $2.99 IS NOT THE LAST OF IT.....THERE IS MORE.So.....I purchased this game $2.99 thinking mmmm quite pricey for the kinda game it is but oh well let's see.......after playing up to 5 levels I get to the level where you have to drive through the course without hitting a cone! Now this is near, no this IS IMPOSSIBLE it would take a lot of play time to actually be able to do it! And THE ONLY way to go any further is to........wait for it....PURCHASE THE ABILITY TO GO FURTHER....?????????? Are you serious?...I just paid $2.99 for this game! In the description it does NOT say this. to anyone reading this, this is QUITE AN EXPENSIVE GAME because I doubt thats the last dollar this greedy developer would charge..BennedyVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Terrible controls ruin itGreat graphics, control are very poor, very difficult (largely because of the useless controls), but once you get used to the controls it's really fun. One thing I hate is the other cops, they just get in you way and own themselves. I think they're cars should also improve. And how if you flip a car and keep ramming it, it teleports away from you, really annoying.Jason OngVersion: 1.01.03

✓ Promising but needs workThe controls are truly are a good idea but the problem is your speed. Car is to low down on the screen to try and get some control. If there was space below for wider finger movements I would be pleased. Audio is lacking a fair bit. It's car chases. You need to be able to hear some police radio. Even the news media filming the chase. It lacks that immersive feel. Also there's no in game music, nor is there any option to play your own music. It kinda takes some fun out of it. I hope this game has the work done to it because it's something worth to having on your device ones Its been fixed up..Delta 136Version: 1.00.09

✓ BadDon’t waste your money on this! Smash cops sucks so go get smash cops heat!.12345carsVersion: 1.09.04

✓ NooooI can't beat this level the cops ceep blocking me!!!.Pie1pie2Version: 1.08.00

✓ App doesn't workI click on the app and start the first level and then it goes back to the main screen.Tsteak98Version: 1.00.09

✓ 2 less for crashesThis would get four stars but it keeps crashing. It might just be iOS 5, but I don't care. Until there are no more crashes and I can play level seventeen, you only get 3 stars. Thank You! P.S. to all those who are complaining it is too hard to play without unlocks, you are wrong. Try playing with the joystick instead of the other option that is default. If necessary go buy a fling at target. Flings work for any game with a joystick so it is a versatile tool. Essentially it is an actual joystick that suction cups onto your iPad/ iPhone (fling mini for iPhone). I am not a promoter, just a happy customer. If this doesn't work, you are just a glass half empty person who is terrible at gaming. I, for one, haven't used a single one of my 4 FREE super cops that you earn by completing challenges..WyattwpVersion: 1.00.09

✓ HmmYeah, as others have said, not enough levels and definitely only worth a 69p purchase. The game itself is quite fun - the lack of levels means you'll complete it in no time though. Not sure why they couldn't stick some simple A.I in there and just have randomly generated content/opponents on the same maps. Would have made replay value a lot better.Rossta99Version: 1.00.09

✓ Fun to a certain pointClearly this game is based off of doing well in missions; but it is a little too difficult to finish half of them. In order to get a good score you must avoid damaging your car as well as other cop cars. I find that too hard with the lack of control you have over your car, not to mention the terrible cop AI telling them to ignore you as a cop and smash you repeatedly while getting in your way and forcing you to stop--thinking you may wreck them and lose points. Fix up the AI, hit registration, camera movement (maybe add a camera mode that sticks to your car), and levels a bit and you'll get a better review from me..Cs475xVersion: 1.01.03

✓ I hate you!Make game easier or I will kill you..Gf *gjnVersion: 1.09.04

✓ Meh, it's alrightGraphics are great. Controls are unique. Never controlled a game like that. My problem is two fold. First, the levels are too short. Think Taxi Cab Driver, but with missions lasting 30 seconds. Playing then stopping, playing then stopping. I felt like I was in rush hour traffic. Secondly, for $2.99 I would expect longer than 35 minutes of gameplay. My suggestion for the developer, instead of running a mission and going back to the menu for the next one, I would suggest staying in mission and having a dispatcher call out your next mission and you leave your current mission as soon as you get the call. For example, after collecting all the evidence, leave me in my car in the street and have the dispatcher tell me that there is a hold up at the diner, display the mission name and number so I know where I am in the progress, and give me the arrows to get there..FLGatorFanVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Smash CopsSeeing the high star rating percentage in reviews of this game, despite the fact that I've previously been extremely unlucky with my iPad racing game choices, I decided to give this a go. Sadly, though it has it's merits, I remain just as unfortunate. Here are my main pros and cons: POSITIVELY - - Excellently clear and vivid graphics - Superbly crafted and realistic suspect AI - Intuitive city environment - Entertaining cinematic damage engine NEGATIVELY - - Shockingly bad controls - Car weaves about almost uncontrollably - Music is very annoying - Cone evasion events are utterly pointless - Decidedly underwhelming selection of events - Short campaign - Painfully bad drifting mechanics VERDICT: Smash Cops is a visually gorgeous but thoroughly flawed racing game. Though I realise it's free, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit for £2.99 is way more controllable and has a far more extensive campaign. The extra three quid is worth it - this is free for a very good reason 2⃣🌟s.'Ard BossVersion: 1.02.02

✓ Too difficult.Interesting, novel control style, but ultimately too hard to master. It's gotta be easy to just pick up and play to keep me interested....but this one ain't..KellRVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Would like to playCrashes on levels after tutorials... good to debug this please.SCHISCHKAVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Fun game but way too shortFans of old style coin op titles Chase HQ will love this one. The joypad option is the more accurate control method but the push feature is interesting. Way too short though - I scored five stars on all 22 levels in under two hours. If you're having trouble with levels 6 and 10, wait until you unlock the Brutus van. It is much easier to maneuver..Mattaman75Version: 1.00.09

✓ FunIt's cool fun but at the it's booring but when u unlock few cars then it's great.Garry422Version: 1.03.01

✓ Terribly badThe controls are nearly impossible and the camera fails to follow your car. Do not waste your time on this game..TyroneIsEpicVersion: 1.08.00

✓ Short but sweetWas impressed by the game and it's playability. It drew me in and got me hooked but all too soon I had completed the 20 something or 30 something levels and it was over. Possibly a little over priced considering I clocked it in 2-3 hours. But otherwise it was great fun!!.Bero84Version: 1.00.09

✓ Steering optionsThis would be a great game if they could just add options to change the steering... Not everyone wants to steer with one finger, let us choose. Personally i would like left & right buttons on the left side of the screen & brake & accelerate buttons on the right side of the screen..A lot of other people have asked for this aswell but with every new update,nothing happens.. I have not played this game since it came out because of this & until they put it on i will not play again....DANG3RMAN - 05Version: 1.08.00

✓ SpoiltYou pay £1.99 for this game and within a couple of minutes playing there asking you to purchase super cop awards for more speed, destruction How many more in app purchases I wonder? Normally games that are asking for money so early on in the gameplay are free to start with..... Shame on you. Could have been a high star rated game....but it is just 3 stars from me..StealthmachineVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Awesome game, but needs to support fling controllers for my 5 stars.I love this game! It's unique, engaging, and downright fun. However, I have a serious grip with the controllers. The default setup is definitely a novel idea, and it works well. It certainly works better than the virtual joypad on its own. However, for those with a fling controller, the virtual joypad is our preferred solution. The problem is the game teases you with a virtual joypad, but the radius is so large it will not work with a fling controller. Please, please, please developers fix the secondary controller to be on scale with other top down racers such as Death Rally and Reckless Racing. Aside from the controller issue, the game is a blast..Brett81Version: 1.01.01

✓ DreadfulFirst, you have to choose between two badly implemented control schemes. Then, you have the dreary repetitive gameplay. Having to crash into a car over and over again to get it to stop is not exciting, dispite the spectacular crashes (which do very little to stop the perps) The cars you are chasing are either so far ahead you have no hope of catching up, or so slow and close you can't use the ramming ability. Most of the time you are waiting for the Ram meter to fill up before you can do anything, and that is just plain boring. On top of that, the rating/score/star/badge system for the end of level is convoluted and doesn't seem in any way correlated to how well you feel you did. This is a great idea, with an nice design, but the gameplay is beyond weak. I got to level 8, and can't find any motivation to continue..CascadeHushVersion: 1.01.03

✓ SuckyIt would be a good game if i could actually play it. I can only play for a few seconds before the app turns off. It is really annoying please fix it!.Awesum7Version: 1.02.02

✓ Very short game. Some minor bugs. 2.5 Stars.This game is fun, the controls are intuitive. You level up quickly and earn new cars fast. He game tries to bait you into micro transactions right from the start, but it's rather easy and you have no reason to buy the upgrades you'll earn soon. I completed all of the levels and earned all of the vehicles in less than 2 hours of game time. I never had to use the super cop feature. I was caught off guard by the congratulations message for completing all of the levels so quickly. For the price, $2.99, I was expecting something a little meatier. Granted there's still a handful of stars I could earn still, but that probably won't last another hour of game time. High production values, fun but short. Minor bugs include frame rate drops, warping suspect cars, arrests not counting in final score counts. None of those issues are game breaking, just annoying niggles. An option to flip the screen on iPhone 4 so you hand doesn't cover and mute the sound constantly would be nice as well. Verdict, wait for a sale if you can or buy now with the expectation that you finish this in a few sittings..GOLIATHGUNVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Hate The ControlsMaybe 2 stars seems a little harsh, but the car seems to be controlled by a pin through the middle and turns 360° on the spot. The joystick is way too sensitive and has the 360° problem amplified. Controls are an essential part of a game hence 2 stars. On the plus side, the graphics are great and the concept is excellent. A left and right / accelerate and brake buttons combo would be superb (Reckless Racing style)..IsaiahVersion: 1.01.03

✓ It's okThe game is very well put together; has nice graphics and a polished feel. However, I just couldn't get on with the controls - the mechanic of pushing your car along felt unwieldy and imprecise. Switching to the joystick option helped a little, but it still felt like an awkward game to play. It might be because of this that I found the missions to be very difficult, and haven't completed too many of them at all..WrigglerVersion: 1.01.01

✓ Latest update drops the scoreThis game used to be a lot of fun, I would often go back to it and beat my old scores. This was until the game started sending me "alerts" in the middle of the night to play the game. Even AFTER I switched this off, it started doing it again. After being woken up a third time, this app is getting deleted and dropping from a 5 rating to a 1 because this is completely unacceptable!.Hifi55Version: 1.04.01

✓ It's alrightThe game in general is good, but the price of it is a bit ridiculous. $5.49 just for this, now that's a rip off! I would only pay about $0.99 to $1.99 MAX, especially when u still can buy things like super cop and a few other things like that, like u can in the free version. U would expect to just earn them by getting more and more stars! I really don't know what to think of it at the moment. The price is way too much for the game especially when it hasn't got as good graphics as other games for the same price and in its category. I would rate this 4 stars if it wasn't as much money. Though the objective of the game is still pretty good and I enjoy playing it. If u could give half stars than I would give it a 2 and a half. ..FdhnddbVersion: 1.06.00

✓ More variation pleaseImpressive graphics but when it comes down to it this is a very basic game. The difficulty curve isn't quite right, and major points off for having in-game purchases that do nothing other than get you past parts they've made intentionally difficult. That's called a rip off..Lord SwanseaVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Hard to control!Game is super hard to control. Only 2 options to steer and both are horrible. One way is a joy stick - which is non responsive and you find yourself stopping in the middle of a chase. Normally joy stick controls are good, but not on this game. The other way to steer the car is with the finger steer - which is also horrible. You need to have your finger smack dead in the center of the screen....? Horrible. How are you suppose to see the car and action? What they need to do us update this to either a gyro control or add in a fixed steering wheel on lower left with gas pedal on right lower side of screen. Horrible controls.ModernsignsVersion: 1.03.01

✓ Looks good but...The controls are ridiculously bad, makes the game almost unplayable.Anon20089Version: 1.08.00

✓ Great game but terrible controls mar it somewhat for meIt's great that the developers are trying something new and different with the steering here, but at least offer the current control scheme as just one of many ways to drive, rather than as the only way to play. Hopefully they'll introduce a virtual d-pad or other touch controls in the future..JetSetStephenVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Controls are terriblePotentially a very fun game but the controls make the game anything but enjoyable. The cars accelerator and steering should be separated..IPrincess<3Version: 1.02.02

✓ Far too shortI think people are being too generous here. The game itself is quite fun and graphics are tidy but I completed this in 30 mins!! Feels much more like a 69p game to me because with only 22 levels the replay value is limited. I remember loving APB on my Amiga - this reminds me of it but it's just not long enough. Let's hope there's regular updates which add levels - otherwise this is not value for money..Plop66Version: 1.00.09

✓ Bad gamePoor controls and driving physics make this game hard to play. Not worth spending money on.J HandlesVersion: 1.02.02

✓ Don't buyThe game itself is a good idea but it's really hard to control the police car! (needs to be fixed for the game to be better) and for the price I wouldn't recommend it to anyone until they fix the issues..T_martini_elloVersion: 1.00.09

✓ CrapThis game will not have you drive straight it is a wast it would be better for 99 cent.JULIE ELLISVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Good potentialBut really needs a much better control scheme. Even after getting used to it, my fingers constantly cover the screen because of how much I need to move them back and forth. If this gets amended then this will be much more playable and I will consider it worth my money..Todd288Version: 1.00.09

✓ Great - if it would work for meFirst off, I must point out that from what I have played of the game, it was great. This is why I am giving it any stars. Unfortunately, it crashes on certain levels, including the first tutorial, meaning I had to learn from scratch. Because I could only play 3 levels where you could get stars, although I could theoretically see the next levels, I am not good enough to get perfect on the 3 I have. Nevertheless, I still think you should buy this game, as I can see from other reviews that it seems to work for most people. OMG did I really write all that?.PepperaceVersion: 1.00.09

✓ Alright -_-This game is alright it has great graphics and the overall idea is good but two things are bad about this: 1. The controls are so lame it is annoying and stupid, why can't you just use a rotatable stick or buttons or maybe tilt? Not having to push the car with your finger like a toy? 2. The fact that you need to get a certain amount of stars to advance further in the game like to get new cars or tracks, which is alright and would work if it wasn't for the insane controls which make it hard to get enough stars. Overall this game is alright and is good for free or at most $1.29 so do try it as some people find it good fun, but I think they need to offer another way of controls to get a better rating..This app rox!Version: 1.02.02
