Crime Patrol is a full-motion video light-gun game for the Sega Mega-CD. It was only released in North America. The game supports the GameGun, Justifier, and Menacer as well as the Sega Mouse.

Gameplay

The game is a light-gun shooter. The player assumes the role of a police officer in a modern city. The video is shot from a first-person perspective and follows the same series of events every time, with some portions randomized for challenge. Criminals appear on screen, and the player must shoot them within a short time window before they can shoot the player. People appear in the video footage, rather than being digitized sprites laid over a background as in games such as Lethal Enforcers. Because of this approach, there are only two possible outcomes to each encounter with a criminal: the player shoots the criminal in time (in which case the video proceeds with the criminal dying), or the player fails to react quickly enough (in which case the video cuts to a shot of the criminal shooting the player, and the stage ends in defeat).

The player is armed with a "ten-shooter" pistol with ten rounds. The player starts the game as a Rookie and can choose from three missions to play in any order. After completing all of them, the player is promoted to Undercover and given a new set of three missions to complete. The player is likewise promoted to SWAT and finally to Delta Team after completing each successive set of three missions.

Using a control pad, the D-Pad moves the targeting cursor around the screen and A fires. The player can move the cursor around the screen faster by holding B for double speed, C for quadruple speed, or B+C for octuple speed. The pistol can be reloaded at any time and any number of times by moving the targeting cursor to the bottom of the screen to "holster" it and shooting with A. Using a mouse, moving the mouse aims and clicking the first button fires. Reloading is similarly done by moving to the bottom of the screen and firing. Using a light gun, pulling the trigger while pointed at the screen shoots and pulling the trigger when aimed away from the screen reloads. Some stages contain brief non-interactive scenes that can be skipped by firing.

The player has three lives. The player loses a life and returns to the stage selection screen if a criminal shoots the player or if the player shoots an innocent bystander.

There is a two-player mode where two players take turns playing, but there is no simultaneous two-player mode.

Partners

The player is accompanied by a different partner in each portion of the game.
