Smash Cops in IOS

Our Expert Score

88/100

Smash Cops is a masterclass in how to adapt a classic genre—the police car chase—specifically for a touch interface. Instead of a clunky virtual joystick, the 'push-to-steer' mechanic feels incredibly tactile; you literally feel like you are shoving the police cruiser through traffic to ram into the suspects. It turns every pursuit into a visceral, high-stakes game of physics-based billiards.

The mission variety is impressive. One moment you're weaving through a cone-filled training course, and the next you're in a high-speed chase through a destructible metropolis that actually reacts to your collisions. The visuals were ahead of their time, featuring a top-down perspective that gives you a cinematic view of the chaos. While it can get quite challenging in the later levels, the satisfaction of landing a perfect RAM maneuver to disable a felon is unparalleled in mobile racing. It’s a shame this classic has been retired from active support, as it remains one of the most unique driving experiences on iOS.

Try to force the suspect into oncoming traffic or solid buildings. T-boning them with a RAM maneuver at high speed deals the most damage.
