Almost a decade old, Konami re-releases Policenauts
on the Playstation for the second time in a
lower-priced re-issue. Hideo Kojima's masterpiece
originally saw release on July 29, 1994 on the NEC
PC9821 and was eventually ported over to the
Playstation and Saturn in 1996. Konami re-released
Policenauts for the Playstation in 1997 under the
Best Collection at Y2800 and six years later, here
we are with another re-release of Policenauts.
If goaded into describing the game in 10 words or
less, we might be tempted to call it "Futuristic
Lethal Weapon, Hideo Kojima style." Let's face it,
the protagonist Jonathan Ingram is the video game
version of Mel Gibson's Martin Riggs and Ed Brown is
the spitting image of Roger "I'm too old for this
$#!^" Murtaugh. Character similarities aside,
Policenauts follows the story of Jonathan after he
returns from cryogenic sleep in outer space and
works to uncover a growing mystery after witnessing
the murder of his ex-wife who came to him for help
in locating her missing husband.
The PSOne Books re-release of Policenauts
contains the original 2-disk game in new
packaging at a lower price.
Note: PS One Books refers to a
budget re-release brand for the Japanese Playstation
console similar to Sony's "The Best" series for the
PS1 and PS2. PS One Books releases include the
original Playstation game and a manual that are
packaged in a plastic slipcase. To clear up any
confusion, PS One Books is not a book. It is a game.
Thank you.
