pretty shallow, but very fun...

This game is pretty short. Let's get that out of the way now. Despite having to defeat 21 crime bosses throughout a gang-ridden city, this does not take long and I beat the game in only about 8 hours of playtime. The good news is that it was a pretty darn fun 8 hours. Your character is an experimental new police officer who evolves quickly, and basically has super powers. As you use different talents, the more you develop. For example, if you use your guns more than anything else, you will aim better sooner, where as if you fight with your bare hands, you will get stronger faster. This is where the fun comes in. As you evolve, you jump higher, run faster, and get much, much stronger. By the time you max out your skills, you are scaling massive buildings, lifting buses over your head, and kicking dumpsters across the busy city streets. Add in a limitless supply of thugs to take out your frustrations on, and you've got some great action.
The only down side to this game is the length and the story-telling...or lack there of on both accounts. Once you max out some skills, which doesn't take that long, the bad guys are pretty much no match for you, and taking down all the bosses is fairly simple. The story also falls short, not developing any characters or any story beyond the simple 'go kill bad guys' theme. This doesn't take away from the mindless fun...but it does take away from replay value. I could see them doing multiple endings depending on how you play the game, like alot of other titles are doing these days.
All in all, this game is alot of fun, albeit a bit shallow in content. If you can get it for less than $20, I say go for it.
