G-Police is a vehicle-based (primarily 'gunships', similar to helicopters) shooter developed by Psygnosis and Wheelhaus and published by Psygnosis in 1997 for the PlayStation. The science-fiction setting takes place in the year 2097, on a colonised Callisto (one of Jupiter's moons). The titular G-Police maintain order in the colony, both by combating criminals and regulating the powerful corporations present.
Backstory
The game is set in 2097, according to the introductory sequence. This sequence also provides the history of the game’s setting: in 2057, the depletion of Earth’s resources coincides with widening space exploration. After a catastrophic war over ever-declining resources, ending 10 years prior to the events of G-Police, Earth’s governments are stripped of military power. Thus powerful corporations exert control over Earth and the burgeoning space colonies. The Government Police (G-Police) are formed by Earth’s remaining coalition government to maintain order in these colonies
There was also a sequel called G-Police: Weapons of Justice.
