I had soooo many hostages in my car and the cops didn't give a single crap. At one point I got wedged sideways inbetween what I think was the hotel and another building, and I was trying to execute a 100000 point turn and then the cops GOT ME. Poor hostages, lol. The controls for this were super tough but it felt like it was kind of ridiculous on purpose. I loved that the game just started with a guy's head sticking out of the bus.

The sound effects were perfect.\n\nI liked how the controls feel, I agree that they felt a bit off, but I think that adds to the fun of the game. If it controlled perfectly, I think it'd lose a lot of its charm.\n\nI didn't know until I read the controls that I needed to press space to \"deliver\" the hostages, so I spent a long time just running around with as many hostages as I could hold possible. SO MANY POLICE CARS!\n\nEnded up with a pretty low score of 468, but had I known how to score earlier, I think I would have amassed much more.\n\nFun game!
