SXPD The Comicbook Game Hybrid
$1.94About SXPD The Comicbook Game Hybrid
SXPD: Extreme Pursuit Force is a brand new form of entertainment that blends gaming with digital comic books. The complete version of this Comic/Game Hybrid allows you to enjoy a full 42 page comic by renowned comic book artist Duke Mighten and then jump right into the action when the story demands it, with its game sections directed by game industry legend David Perry. It is a comic book you can play!
The story revolves around the SXPD, an elite police force consisting of all female officers who enforce the law in the privately owned 52nd state of America; 'New Royale'; a hyper violent and bizarre scifi world.
Chase the gangs and violent criminals of New Royale, in a high speed bike pursuit across the dangerous environments of the dark State. Get lured into the sewers, wastelands and industrial zones of the city. And find out if the Rookie can save New Royale from the terrorists threatening it.
'The Rookie' is the first instalment of many episodes and features 6 chapters of comic book storytelling, and high adrenalin racing game action.

Despite accepting my input mappings during the first launch and using my joystick for menus and comic pages, my controller doesn't respond in the action bits. I've emailed the devs regarding this and never saw a reply. For what it is worth, I'm trying to play this on a Shield Portable.

The black, white, and red color pallet is very reminiscent of the chaotic gem Mad World with well-integrated comic book-style cutscenes and story telling. The high-speed high-octane combat with the grungy yet appealing art style all supported by a slick frame rate takes home the medal in my book. No other game keeps you on the edge of your toilet seat quite like this

Finally something new, the art is very stylish and high quality, game is too short and basic, worth the money though, story could have been better, very cool game but the worst thing about it is you crash extremely easily instead of just scraping stiff, also it's really hard to see the debris so it makes you crash way too often

I never had a chance to play MAD WORLD and always desired to. But never could due to not owning a wii. But thanks to this graphic novel/manga art style of black and white images I dont have to buy Mad World to experience such a world. Thx to the devs for having the courage to follow up on such a bold look.

I like the style. The problem are those tiny comic pages. You must enable some kind of zoom.

Very good blend of comic book and action. Only thing is the music while chasing on the bike is very repetitive and kinda annoying. Wish it would switch up to something easier on the ears. Overall this is one of the most creative and aesthetically pleasing game I've seen on any platform.

Let down by near impossible controls and general lack of satesfying gameplay. Such a shame, I really want to love this!

I like the look and combat seems OK so far but the controller mapping is pointless if I can't turn! Neither analog stick or d-pad do anything! Can't play on TV because of this! Please fix!

SXPD looks fantastic - almost like Akira meets Judge Dredd through the eyes of Frank Miller (although you can't zoom the comic and you'll struggle on smaller screens) but beyond the visuals it falls apart a bit. The writing in the comic is cliched enough to make you cringe and never really feels like there's a story building so the game sections should make a nice break. Unfortunately once you're past the initial wow factor of the first person section you'll realise there's nothing to it. Steer, shoot at a series of moving shapes you rarely see up close, repeat - hugely unrewarding. The controls are sharp and the speed is impressive, but the graphics pop-in means you can never be sure if the bike you're following is actually behind a building you're about to run straight into. I've witnessed bikes go straight through walls leaving me to drive into them, and on the third stage there are too many tight gaps surrounded by chain link fences that you can barely see until you hit them. After the game restarted me in the same position facing a wall multiple times leading to the loss of half my energy, I decided I didn't care enough about the story to carry on.

Superb combination of comic book and action gameplay. High difficulty during final race though.
