Yeah,the first games were quite good. I actually know someone who got into policing because of these games - and was a full detective by the time Open Season released - who was appalled by this Open Season and the following games.

It's a shame,really,because after that there weren't any good "beat cop" games to this day anymore, at least I am not aware of any. (Police Simulator is well... not having any story and so PG-washed that it's basically parking enforcement...)

Disco Elysium comes to mind.
