![]() But that’s just one humble review’s opinion.ĭevelopers have a very interesting complex when it comes to producing light gun shooters. Even now some 10 years after it’s initial release, very few games have come close to and even fewer have surpassed the perfection of Virtua Cop 2. The second level in the first game in particular.Īt the end of the day, Virtua Cop 2 is simply the best of the best. At least it’s not as unbalanced as the settings in the first game. Unless you have really bad coordination, and being a gamer that is unlikely.Įven on the higher settings, I did not find it too hard. My biggest complaint with Virtua Cop 2 has to be it difficulty. Other cool new features include unlockable cheats, bigger areas, and badder bosses to conquer. ![]() ![]() In each stage, the game presents the player with the choice of where to head next, the multi route approach is a nice touch and adds more variety to the game. The best addition would have to be the branching paths. Virtua Cop 2 brings the same simple and fun gameplay of it’s predecessor, and yet still manages to bring new ideas to the table. The sound and music also made the trip in one piece. The graphics are very good considering that in the 32-bit days arcade ports often suffered from a console inferiority complex. Or invite a friend to join in the madness. The game even plays well with a controller, but of course playing with a light gun is far more fun.(Screw those games with plastic guitars, I want to play with a plastic gun…wait, what?-MM-) And you can even use two at once for some double barreled action. The thrills don’t stop until you win the game or die trying, it’s just pure arcade action. From high speed pursuits, to breaking up heists. That said plot is the least important element of this sort of game, it’s all about the action and Virtua Cop 2 packs the heat. “Have you ever fired two guns while jumping through the air?”-Hot Fuzz. Looks like it’s time to clean up Virtua City…once more. Furthermore it seems that the Virtua City Bank, may have been involved in the syndicate’s scheme. The VCPD are joined by Janet Marshall whom is set on avenging her fallen mentor. Picking up one year after Michael “Rage” Hardy, and James “Smarty” Cools broke up the “Evl” crime syndicate. The second of the three games in the series.

The Virtua Cop series, did not invent the arcade or “on-the-rails” shooter. Besitzer einer Lightgun werden allerdings schon alleine wegen des Mangels an Alternativen an diesem Titel nicht vorbeikommen. O.K., ein paar Optionen mehr, schönere Texturen sowie ein dramatischeres Leveldesign, aber für ein Sequel ist das etwas zu mager. Ansonsten gibt es nur noch zu bemängeln, daß kaum etwas verändert wurde. Macht daher auf keinen Fall den Fehler, das Game auf “Easy“ mit unbegrenzten Continues zu zocken, sonst verstaubt der Silberling allzu schnell in irgendeiner Ecke. Habt Ihr allerdings den letzten Obermotz niedergestreckt, was bereits nach einer Stunde passieren dürfte, sinkt die Motivation in den Keller. Kurzfristig sorgt VC 2 alleine, und vor allem zu zweit gleichzeitig, für ein gepflegtes Rambo-Flair, das zu fesseln weiß. Somit bleiben die Vor- und Nachteile des ersten Teils bestehen.
