RICO London is a gang-busting, name-taking, explosive co-op shooter.
Without the permission of her superior or the support of back-up, Redfern prepares to kick off the new Millennium with a bang. Detective Inspector Redfern finds herself at the scene of an emerging arms trade at the foot of a highrise tower.

It’s not game breaking, but it’s quite noticeable even on a PS4 Pro, and lining up a head shot gets tricky when your gun is skittering across the screen.While everyone is getting ready to party the metropolitan police are working overtime.

Yep, it’s the frame rate. For the most part it’s perfectly fine, but slo-mo slide into a room packed full of enemies and it’s got more jerk than a Jamaican grilled chicken. Unfortunately there is one annoying problem that RICO has in common with far too many games made in Unity. It would have been nice if they had a few phrases to shout so it felt like you were attacking real bad guys rather than a gang of mildly nefarious mime artists.
There’s no music and, outside of the odd grunt, the enemies don’t say a word. These are some of the few sounds in the game.
When there’s a lull in the action it is unnervingly silent, but it’s not long before weapons thud and crash through the speakers. That said, with just a few level themes, the mix of office blocks, mansions and warehouses start to merge into one very quickly. It’s crisp and colourful with extravagant spurts of blood splashing across the screen, and there’s also a limited amount of destructible environment to let you blow a hole through a chipboard wall and surprise the goon on the other side. The art style reminds me of XIII, another classic PS2 shooter. Just beware that friendly fire is on so you really need to make sure of your targets before firing. You have to time your breaches to gain the slow motion bonus so working together is best, but if you’re feeling lucky (punk), you can split off and try and clear the building as fast as possible, both of you going lone wolf.

Happily the game includes online and split screen mode and teaming up with a partner really adds to the buddy-cop movie vibe. It’s a challenging game, but I never felt my death was unfair you die because you have not been paying attention to how many bullets you have left in your clip or because you’ve not cleared out every nook and cranny of every room. Hand in your badge, your guns, merits and restart the case from scratch. If you do get knocked out you can use you a med kit to revive yourself, but run completely out of health and that’s it, case closed. You have to take time to study the map and work out the best route through the building. When playing a Case File campaign, you can’t just run and gun as you’ll end a level without any merits and end up woefully outgunned for your next objective. You start with a standard pistol, but can spend the merits you’ve earned from objectives on shotguns, assault rifles, grenades, attachments, health kits, and armour. They have real heft, sound great, and seem just a little overpowered to make you feel completely badass. The weapons in RICO remind me of the thumping, weighty guns in the classic PS2 shooter Black, or perhaps those of Killzone.
