Back at the police station one last time, both as a brief respite and as an actual level where the game's challenge has escalated quite a lot. This is also the level where I start emphasizing the use of Vivienne's custom AR because of its ability to instantly delete riot shields, which become way more of a problem from here on now that we're facing off against Engel's soldiers. Hard as it is compared to the rest of the game prior, I do greatly enjoy this mission and the next one. Despite the pacing as a whole being all over the place, the 5 levels that are here I feel are able to push the game's combat scenarios as far as they can, in what amounts to just under 2 hours of raw gameplay (about as long as a 5 stage run of Spikeout). Plus, there's some wonderful catharsis facing off against a ninja again after the first mission and being more than equipped to take them with ease.
