How to Decide

Crime Patrol is a 1993 live‑action FMV arcade shooter known for its point‑and‑click mouse aiming and career progression from rookie cop to SWAT, popular with retro arcade and police‑action fans. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Cyber Police ESWAT leans into a sci‑fi ice combat suit with upgradeable weapons and a jet‑pack; Lethal Enforcers emphasizes split‑screen co‑op and customizable weapon accessories; Virtua Cop is built around a light‑gun peripheral and polygonal 3D graphics; Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars offers a branching FMV storyline with multiple scenarios and cooperative modes.

When comparing these titles, focus on (1) the control scheme and required hardware – Crime Patrol uses mouse point‑and‑click, Virtua Cop needs a light‑gun, while Lethal Enforcers and Cyber Police support gamepad or keyboard; (2) the gameplay perspective and mechanics – FMV timed button presses in Crime Patrol versus side‑scroll action in Cyber Police, first‑person light‑gun shooting in Virtua Cop, and split‑screen first‑person shooting in Lethal Enforcers; (3) the depth of weapon or upgrade systems – Cyber Police’s Ice Combat Suit upgrades contrast with Lethal Enforcers’ accessory customization and the static arsenal of Crime Patrol and Virtua Cop; and (4) how co‑op is delivered – online or shared‑screen cooperative in Crime Patrol and Cyber Police, split‑screen local co‑op in Lethal Enforcers and Virtua Cop, versus the multiple‑player modes of Crime Patrol 2.
