The Good
- Digitized graphics offer nostalgic amusement
- real life L.A. locations add realism
- fully-voiced dialogue a first for franchise.
The Bad
- Voice acting Ed Wood would love
- endless backtracking
- police procedures essential to start but then forgotten
- convoluted narrative is unsatisfying and confusing.
Our Verdict
Underwhelming
There are some good elements that shine through occasionally, but generally the game is not a positive experience.
With a conclusion that borders on incomprehensible, Police Quest 4 offers impressive technological advances from previous games in the series, but loses their simpler charms.
