Description: Drive-by Cop: a driving and shooting game made specifically for VR, but can also be played in desktop mode. Criminals are invading the city. Drive-by Cop is the only one who can stop them. You take the role as drive-by cop, load your gun and try to steer and shoot at the same time as you drive through the city and bust as many criminals as you can. Navigate the busy streets, narrow back alleys or down to the beach. You have 3 minutes to bust as many criminals as possible to get the highest score.

Review: If you ask me ‘Drive-By Cop’ falls just short of being a fun little indie game. The idea is you drive around shopping at bad guys and sometimes bad guys in cars. There are no other weapons, the “bad guys” just kind of stand there and it lacks any form of excitement. But I do feel there is a bit of potential here because adding a few game modes like a balloon popping and maybe a Mario kart style battle multiplayer game and you could have something fun here. I can look past the Roblox graphics and lack of content if only the game is fun to play which sadly this isn’t. This is not something I currently recommend, but that might change with a few extra ideas thrown in and maybe some movement from the bad guys.
