About
Relive numerous iconic scenes from Mobile Police Patlabor in this home console 3D action game. Play from different perspectives—“Main Missions” as Special Vehicle Section 2, and “Another Side Missions” as their adversaries. Over 20 Labors appear in the game—master everything from the Ingram to the Griffon and Type Zero. Includes a “Simulator Mode” where you can engage in shooting practice and Labor-versus-Labor combat.
Story
Labors. The generic term for robots developed for industrial use. Widely adopted in construction and civil engineering, crimes involving Labors rapidly increased. The Metropolitan Police Department established the Special Vehicle Section 2 Patrol Labor Squadron to counter this threat. Thus the “Patlabor” was born.
