The game received "generally favorable reviews" on all platforms except the PlayStation 2 version, which received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[27][28][29][30]

gollark: Well, we have a fifth of the population, so absent any differences you'd expect a fifth of the rate of police murdering.
gollark: ???
gollark: Well, maybe? I've never interacted with them except for seeing some walking around intimidatingly with guns at the train station for some reason.
gollark: I say keep the death penalty in cases of very obvious and bad things, i.e. acts of terrorism where someone... I don't know, published a manifesto saying "yes I am going to kill some people now", did so and got caught.
gollark: Only TWO of these are related to the justice system.
