... that Road Rash II is reportedly the first video game in which the player can beat, and get beaten, by a cop?
ALT1: ... that Road Rash II is reportedly "the first game in which you could actually beat, and get beaten, by a cop"? Source: Mitch Wallace (April 2017). "The Making of: The Road Rash Trilogy". Retro Gamer. No. 166. p. 24: "Road Rash 2 was the first game in which you could actually beat, and get beaten, by a cop," Arthur says."

The article says "Koch claimed that "Road Rash II was the first game in which you could beat, and get beaten, by a cop." The hook instead states the claim as a fact. Probably say "that Road Rash II was reportedly the first video game..." And why "was", isn't it still the first? Is ref 9 is the source as that is the closest ref after the fact? If so then it is apparently offline so AGF. You should put the appropriate source citation right next to the line where the hook fact is mentioned. Sainsf(t·c) 17:20, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Okay what I meant was this [1] to make sure that the reader can locate the source of the fact easily right at the end of the line in the article, though what you have done just now, adding the source in the DYK nomination itself, is a good practice to help reviewers.
So this is good to go now. Cheers, Sainsf(t·c) 18:55, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
@Sainsf: the hook is copied from the source. Either it needs to be put in quotes, or different wording suggested. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Went with quoting it. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 00:29, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
