Recommendation: yes 4 / 5 by Vaderfan2187

So, do I like this set? Definitely yes. The builds are good for what they are, the minifigure selection is quite good, the playability is good and the price is great – bonus points for the country-to-country ratio.

Recommendation: meh 3.9 / 5 by Nick

Overall this is a great value for money set, with lots of playability for the younger builder. As it also features the skunk, which at the moment is only available in this set, it could be a draw for those animal lovers who missed out when it was available in the Collectible Minifigures theme.

Smaller CITY sets typically offer a great deal of play value in relation to their size and I think this set is reasonable successful in that regard, including two sturdy models and a couple of minifigures as well as the skunk which may prove pivotal to the pursuit. The two watercraft seem poorly matched as the raft will surely be much slower than the speedboat, although I can imagine the police having more trouble in rapid waters like those shown on the box.
