Game Summary:
Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit (known in the United Kingdom as Crash Time and in the rest of Europe as Alarm für Cobra 11: Crash Time) is a mission-based driving game released for the PC in 2007 and Xbox 360 in 2008, and a sequel to Alarm für Cobra 11: Nitro. It is based on the German television series Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei, and features several characters from the show working their way through criminal cases set in fictitious versions of the city streets of Cologne, and the autobahn in North Rhine Westphalia. The developers created a ”Pathfinder” to ensure that the AI vehicles do not always follow the same path during a pursuit. It was not received well by critics, with graphics and plot being of concern. Four sequels have been released on Xbox 360 and through online content provider Steam.
Gameplay:
The player assumes the role of one of several officers in the fictional Cobra 11 team, from the television series Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei, a police unit in Germany assigned to patrol the Autobahn and other road networks. The player usually takes the role of either Chris Ritter or Semir Gerkhan, but there is one early mission (Beginner’s Luck) where the player takes the place of a contender. The officers are in charge with stopping and questioning suspects about various criminal activities. The game presents the player with a series of fictional ”cases” that need to be solved to progress. The cases themselves are set in 2007.
Description:
Fans of arcade-racing-action watch out, Crash Time hits the fast lane. Daring stunts, spectacular crashes, thrilling criminal cases: All fans of the racing genre will easily fall in love with the newest creation of Synetic - the well-known specialists for furious racing-games. Various exciting cases await the player as part of the ”Cobra 11” police force. Solving them requires several diverse missions to be successfully completed: Be it helicopter chases, jumps across moving trains or reconnaissance runs in tanks - top-notch entertainment is here. The debut of this brand-new racing-franchise is not short of daring stunts and spectacular crashes either. Unpredictable missions free from set tracks and opponents who seek their own escape routes thanks to the artificial intelligence make the racing both dynamic and authentic, and will not only delight racing aficionados. Truly extensive scenarios complete with highways, country roads and city streets add to variety
