Calling All Cars! is a downloadable game on the PlayStation Store[1] created by David Jaffe, creative director on God of War. It was released on May 10, 2007 for US$10.
Gameplay
Calling All Cars! is similar to Twisted Metal, though it has been compared by its developers to be more akin to NBA Jam[citation needed]. It employs a top-down ¾ perspective and cel-shaded graphics.
The object of the game is to capture escaped convicts while battling against three other bounty hunters who are also trying to capture the criminals. The game features online multiplayer and split-screen play.
Reception
GameSpot gave Calling All Cars! 6.7/10, saying the game is "a frantic good time that's cut short by a serious lack of content. You can finish the single-player game in about 20 minutes." [2] IGN, however, gave the game 8.5/10, stating that the multiplayer more than makes up for the single player flaws. [3]
As of July 21, 2007, Calling All Cars! has a score of 78/100 on Metacritic. [4]
Controversy
Upon reception, game designer David Jaffe proceeded to post a vulgarity-laced tirade against a review author, saying "Go fuck yourselves."[5] The action caused Jaffe to stop blogging for over a month[6], and call into question the appropriateness of the game industry's trying to bring pressure on the independence of reviewers. [7][8][9]
