Motor City Patrol is a top-down driving game that was only released on the NES in North America.
+ Performing well gives you points that you can use to upgrade your weapon, repair your vehicle or improve its capabilities.
+ Need to veer away from your patrol buildings leads to some anxious moments where multitasking is constantly required.
- While the map shows law breakers, it doesn't display which direction they're facing, so it's easy to accelerate the wrong way.
- Having to repeatedly pause the action to check where criminals are located is tedious and immersion breaking.
- Upgrading your top speed is utterly pointless, as your vehicle drives too fast for the screen to adequately keep up.
- Gameplay variety is lacking and once you've seen the first location there's little to keep you invested in progressing.
