German police simulator game
Autobahn Police Simulator is a premium simulation game coming from developer Z-Software. It's a police simulator that has players take on the role of the police officer working on a highway system in Germany. They will conduct patrols, watch out for suspicious activity, and enforce the law as best they can.
Similar to games like Police Simulator: Patrol Officers and Police Simulator: Patrol Duty, Autobahn Police Simulator lets players experience the life of a police officer for themselves. What makes it interesting is that the whole premise draws inspiration from a real-life location, making the experience more immersive and authentic.
Policing the autobahn
The autobahn is a federal controlled-access highway system located in Germany. This more than 13,000-kilometer stretch of road is used by both public and private vehicles to reach various destinations throughout the country. It has become quite a popular map featured in multiple racing games due to its sheer coverage. Here then comes Autobahn Police Simulator, yet another game set in this iconic location.
You play as a police officer in this police simulator, and your job is to keep peace and order under your 40-kilometer jurisdiction. There are over 40 missions available covering daily duties, from responding to road accidents to investigating suspicious activity. You have two vehicles at your disposal, with your patrol car as your daily driver and a specific unmarked car for speed patrols and special operations.
What's more, you'll get random radio communications and day/night shifts for authenticity and immersion. There's also the Free Play Mode if you just want to roam around and explore the roads. Sadly, the game's main drawback is its poor and sluggish controls, which for a driving game, is rather inexcusable. Add to that the subpar graphics, and it becomes hard to recommend it as a whole.
Could have been good
Autobahn Police Simulator had a lot going for it, with a vast map to explore and plenty of missions and activities to take on as you play a police officer on one of the most iconic roads in racing games. Unfortunately, its glaring issues cannot be overlooked and just ruin the whole experience. In its current state, it's a pass, and you would be better off playing something else.
