C.O.P. The Recruit

For: DS

While open-world gameplay has become a staple in countless contemporary titles, only a handful of games have successfully executed a living, breathing sandbox capable of truly immersing the player. Ubisoft's latest effort looks to captivate and intrigue audiences by offering up one of the deepest real-time worlds to date in their newest adventure, C.O.P. The Recruit. Players fill the shoes of former street racer turned undercover agent Dan Miles as he takes on the criminal underbelly of New York City. "Expansive" is an understatement for this ambitious action title, as C.O.P. will not only feature an impressive, six square mile recreation of New York for players to explore, but will feature NO loading screens, not to mention gameplay that consistently runs at 60 FPS. Throw in about 60 missions, 30 vehicles and over 20 hours of gameplay and Ubisoft may very well have the next definitive open-world action game on their hands. --Will Herring
