Games like this are fine in the arcades, where you can spend a dollar for a few games and then walk away. Overall, I find Virtua Cop 2 to be fun and entertaining while it lasts, although the replayability could have been much better. Similar to House of The Dead, this adds considerably replayability to the game, although the levels in Virtua Cop 2 are disappointingly short and the alternate paths aren't too different (they converge towards the end of each level anyway so you can meet the 'boss' enemy). Anyone who likes a steep challenge can turn the gunsight off in the options menu.Ī welcome new feature in Virtua Cop 2 is the ability to choose between two different paths per level. Without the gunsight, you won't know which one to shoot first. Although I find it a tad too big and annoying, it becomes necessary to leave it on, especially when there are multiple enemies on the screen at once. The big 'gunsight' is carried forward from Virtua Cop into this sequel. Although the graphics are a bit out-of-date especially compared with 3D-accelrated marvels today, the details of polygons and their animations in Virtua Cop 2 are certainly second to none. There are also many more interactive backgrounds than in the first game: you can crash windows, lighting fixtures, or even make cars jackknife across the road by shooting their tires. Shoot them in the head, and you will see it snap and the body fall backward in realistic motion. Shoot them in the groin and they will fall forward, clutching themselves in agony. For example, the enemies react differently depending on where you hit them. They even fall off buildings and crash through conveniently placed wooden crates. These characters know their parts well and always get to their entrances on time.

Instead of gangsters who look like they are all related, there are many different kinds enemies, including soldiers, the cargo loader from Aliens, and even George Michael (well, someone who looks like him anyway).

The graphics in this game easily surpasses those of the original Virtua Cop. You can only play this game with up to two players, though. Virtua Cop 2 follows the lives of three officers and their exploits in the field of crime fighting. Virtua Squad 2) is a faithful PC port of SEGA's arcade hit of the same name, a 'rail shooter' played from a first-person perspective, except this time you no longer can shoot with the arcade gun.
