Smash cops heat: Smashing is in the air

,
When it comes to racing games, the pattern of these games is more or less similar, either it is four wheeled or two wheeled vehicles racing against each other. Then there are variations where you either play cops trying to nab drivers indulging in street racing or miscreants trying to avoid cops. Racing games are very entertaining and always have a higher game replay value. Today I am writing about a racing game with a twist. In this game you play the role of a cop who is obviously behind the miscreants but you are allowed to smash their vehicles and destroy it completely, that too in style. Does it sound a lot of fun to you, well it is.

"Smash Cops heat" game is presented by Hutch Games and it is a car racing game.

Game Plot
Being a cop you are behind the criminals in your car and you need to overtake them, smash their vehicles and arrest them. You get plenty of chances to show your driving skills and also enjoy smashing the vehicles. Each game level is a police case where criminals have committed some crime and you as a police officer on wheels have to nab them. 


There are plenty of police vehicles to choose from. Though, at the start only one basic vehicle is available for use. As you play the game and complete the missions you get opportunity to buy other high performance vehicles with varying capabilities.

Game Controls
The controls are very easy to operate. You can choose between the onscreen joypad or push control, where joypad is more comfortable to use if you are playing the game on tablet. No need to worry about gear shifting, move up or down the joypad to move forward or backward the vehicle, or left and right to turn it.

There are few extra powers available at your disposal like "RAM" and "INSTARAM". RAM is quite interesting, the idea is, if you are strategically close to a criminal's car you can use RAM and your car will move forward with a sudden jerk which is enough to topple the car in front and destroy it. Once used, RAM needs some time to activate again and here the INSTARAM comes handy, so if you have INSTARAMs available it can be used instantly without the wait time. RAMs are unlimited but have some waiting period, INSTARAMs are limited and you have to earn it.

Game levels have associated objectives and if you achieve the objectives, you are rewarded with stars. The stars are necessary as it helps to unlock further game levels and also more powerful police vehicles.

Each game level is either a criminal case like criminals have stolen cars or a police mission like police needs to transfer a high profile prisoner across the town and his accomplice trying to rescue him. So, depending on the mission you need to devise a plan to finish it.

Few game levels require specific vehicles for its speed or sturdy build and without that vehicle it is very difficult to complete the level. That's the main reason to collect as many stars as possible for unlocking the vehicles.

It is not an endless racing game, each game level needs to be completed in specific time before the criminal drives off its car beyond the city border or the missions fails.

The games also offers IAP where you can buy INSTARAMs or unlock vehicles.

The game graphics are good and so the sound effects, but the main feature is smashing scenes which are simply stunning. I never came across any racing game with such variety of car crashes and smashes, I am pretty sure you will like it.


How much it costs you: Not a single penny, though you can buy certain items through IAP.
