Hot - head police captains, torturous and talky bad guys, drug busts,
loose cannon cops, some domestic drama, and car chases represent the bases you'd have to touch in order to make a decent rehash, but outside
of a couple
of scenes
of Paul regurgitating famous film lines from cop flicks
of the 80s (which isn't exactly true, as he mysteriously quotes from movies
of other genres and eras as well), there isn't
much to Cop Out one could call a loving spoof.
These feel out
of place and seemingly attempt to replicate Saints Row's unique brand
of madness far too
much, but they do feature the utterly brilliant Spider - Tank missions, which let you
loose in a giant mechanical spider that can climb buildings and is armed with a powerful
cannon.
