What players say

Players nearly unanimously say Responding is not ready for release. It crashes constantly, has very few call types, and key mechanics like traffic stops and arrests are broken. The hype around updates died fast, reviewers say development stalled shortly after launch. A few see potential in the in-car computer and physics, but even they admit the game is buggy and overpriced in its current state.
