Each of your victories against Sky Captain raises the difficulty a notch. Future Cop, released almost 2 years ago, has some of the sharpest and most colorful graphics around. Spectacular explosions, lighting effects and weapon trails make this one of the more graphically impressive titles for the Mac. With an aging Rage Pro card, the screen explodes with colors and runs pretty smooth on a base G3. Sound is equally impressive.
Music is dramatic and pumps up the already tense action.
Weapons have distinctive sounds, explosions rip through the air, and enemy buildings crash to the ground with a satisfying thud. Enemies will also throw the occasional taunt and barb your way. The best part of Future Cop's sound has to be the dispatcher. TJ Ryder is with you every step, offering advice on various obstacles and hazards throughout the zone. Voice acting in video games is usually mediocre at best, but Future Cop's is pretty good.
