Bust crime in style in these awesome police games!

Everybody loves playing criminals. The massive popularity of the GTA series is proof of that. What most people don’t realize is that busting bad guys and giving crime what it deserves can be just as awesome – as long as you’ve got the right game and right developer.

This article lists down the 10 Best Police Games for 2015, and only includes titles released in the last five years. Sorry, fans of SWAT 4 and the original Max Payne – as great as those police games are, they’re already showing their age.

And so, without further ado, let’s start with police game #10…

10. Battlefield Hardline

He'll smash your face in, THEN read you your rights!

The Battlefield series is known for its military games. With Battlefield Hardline, however, it finally pays tribute to the other men and women who risk their lives daily to fight injustice.

The war on crime is the focus of this first-person shooter. The single player campaign revolves around Officer Nick Mendoza and his attempts to destroy a drug ring that is destroying lives in the city of Miami. You’ll get a taste of everything you’d expect from a police drama, such as violent drug busts, massive shootouts, suspenseful stealth action, and being framed for a crime you didn’t commit.

Where the game truly shines, however, is multiplayer, which lets you play either of two factions: the police Special Response Units, or the criminals. Players get lots of military-grade vehicles and weapons to play with, as well as police equipment including handcuffs and tasers. Game modes include Heist, which tasks police with stopping criminals from breaking into a vault and stealing money; Rescue, in which S.W.A.T. officers must rescue hostages from criminals; Crosshair, which gives the police a VIP to protect from criminals trying to kill him; and more.

Few police games give players such a complete crime-busting experience!

Let fly the bullets!

You can't outrun the law forever, scum!
