About the game
You play as Chase McCain, a police officer trying to catch the escaped criminal Rex Fury. You drive between districts, follow clues and enter story missions. Changing disguises gives you tools for different obstacles, from a miner's explosives to an astronaut's equipment. Away from the case, you can search for characters, vehicles and bricks hidden around the city.
The 2017 release lets a second player join on the same device in split screen. Both players can use Chase's abilities and explore separately, though starting a story scene brings you together. The missions follow the same structure as the original solo game, so there are no fixed partner roles. Simple puzzles, police-film jokes and optional collecting leave room to play at your own pace.
