This game runs like a movie and it used to be quite popular back in the day .
It has not dated well ...
As a member of the eponymous Police your task is to penetrate a small island near to the coast of Colombia and destroy a large drug processing unit by placing dynamite charges in several strategic points.
The unit is a network of underground tunnels you must run through shooting any enemy which crosses your way. Unfortunately the playing area, which occupies the lower left portion of the screen, is rather small, and the action - viewed from behind your character - is monotonous and repetitive; almost all of the time you run around tunnels, shooting messy sprites as you meet them. You have several weapons at your disposal but there seems to be no real difference in their effect. All of the strategical premises found in the instructions seem to be missing from the actual gameplay.
Narco Police is a potentially good idea which has been turned in a dull and bland game. One of Dinamic's worst titles.

Initially I felt amazed at some technical features, but soon got equally disappointed. It's one of those games that look good but play bad.
The tunnel effect is excellent, and so is the police animations. But it plays too slow and rigid and gets repetitive right from the beginning.
