Aside from the voice acting, the sounds within the game do their job, the cars sound fine – as does crashing them – so there’s nothing really bad about it, but there’s also nothing particularly good either. It’s extremely easy to laugh at it, and I hope that at least in some small sense, this was the whole point, but I have a feeling that the entire game was meant to be taken seriously which is utterly impossible. As if they were held at gunpoint while in the sound booth. A lot of the time what the main characters are saying, as well as all of the characters that they’ll end up talking with in the game, sound as if every single one of their lines is forced. SOUND: It’s hard to concentrate on any aspect of the sound design within Crash Time 4: The Syndicate without ending up talking about how downright terrible the voice acting is. In a time when we’re getting treated to some truly stunning games, there’s no other way to describe the feeling of looking at something like Crash Time 4 than simply disappointing. All of the models in Crash Time 4 looks as if the developers simply forgot about adding that high resolution texture. A trick that developers often utilise to keep the processing power down within their games is to create two textures for game models, a low resolution texture for objects that are far away and then a high resolution texture that will get loaded once you’re a little close. The models of the cars don’t look bad, but if you look a little closer you’ll notice that the textures are extremely bland. There are good aspects of the game, in general the city looks good and if you’re just glancing at the screen for a moment then things don’t look too bad things are vastly different if you’re the one playing the game though. Crash Time 4: The Syndicate is not one of these game, not by a long shot. GRAPHICS: There are a lot of games that are coming out on the current range of home consoles that look absolutely amazing, they’re at the pinnacle of what the consoles are capable of at this moment in time, we get excited about them coming out, we look at each frame of animation frothing at the mouth.

If you’re a fan of cheesy 80s police TV shows then you may get some enjoyment out of how terrible the story is, but there’s nothing for anyone that wants anything even remotely intellectual. The story is there, sometimes it’s literally laugh out loud funny, but that’s rarely the intention. If you’re looking for a game that has a deep and involving story then you’re absolutely looking in the wrong direction with Crash Time 4. It could be seen as realistic, but a lot of people will simply see it as boring. As you progress through the game you’ll have to chase people down – some of them members of the Syndicate, some of them not – as well as doing your usual job with the Autobahn Police Force, which usually involves just driving around until a new job comes in over the radio. The game follows two Autobahn police officers, Ben and Samir, as they get themselves involved with the Syndicate, an underground organisation that has their fingers in multiple pies around the city of Cologne.

STORY: Crash Time 4 follows on with the same basic story as the previous Crash Time games. We got it, played it and are now here to tell you all about it. After coming out in Germany over a year ago, Crash Time 4 has finally made its way over to British shores. The TV show is famed for its crazy amount of car chases and elaborate crashes so it would be easy to assume that this mentality would be brought over to the video game world. They haven’t always been met with the greatest of receptions but this is the fourth game in the series, so there must be somebody buying them.

The Crash Time series of games – of which there have been three previous ones to date – are loosely based on a German TV show called Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei.
