About This Game
Is it a simulation? A management game? A tactical challenge? A visual novel? A puzzle? It’s all of these, and more!
Dive into one-of-a-kind -story driven experience.
Welcome to Sharpwood, a cold and harsh border town riven with violence, where no one is completely innocent. Smugglers, gangs, and screaming populists call this town their home. To maintain peace and order, the young sheriff Lilly Reed (Sarah Hamilton, The Longest Journey) will have to team up with fugitive criminal Jack Boyd (Jon St. John, Duke Nukem), and pray that her dangerous plan doesn’t spiral out of control.Take charge of the Sheriff’s department.
Your subordinates aren’t just some resource; they are living people with their own strengths, weaknesses, fears and prejudices – and you'll have to reckon with all of them in order to survive. Is one of your guys drinking too much alcohol? Or always coming up with excuses for not coming to work? Or does he refuse to follow orders? You’ll have to show a steady hand if you want to impose discipline on this department.Engage in tactical combat.
During your most dangerous operations, the game will switch to turn-based combat. Gather a team of your finest cops (or use your drunk and stupid bums – you don’t always have the luxury of being choosy!). Carefully study the terrain, adapt your plans, stealthily approach your suspects and use non-lethal weapons and equipment – if the situation allows. True, sometimes gunfights are almost impossible to avoid, but be careful: This Is the Police 2 doesn’t have hit points. A single bullet can cost a cop their life.Become a true detective.
Collect evidence, study case materials, interrogate suspects (or use more... forceful methods) and send the criminals to court. And if the suspect was innocent? Perhaps it's time to find out if any Sharpwood judges can be bought.Screenshots
User Reviews
This is the Police 2 to me is both fun and annoying to experience. Lets start with the fun part, the core gameplay loop of managing your officers and dispatching them to calls. As a management sim, it was engaging as juggling your officers and servicing the increasingly demanding calls while having to scrap by $20,000 every week was great. The game also boast a great soundtrack and art style that makes up for its small budget cut scenes. Now, lets move on to the annoying part of this game. The writing. Its awful. The dialogue is so pretentious and clearly a sad rip-off of Tarantino's writing style. None of the dialogue was even funny or memorable unlike the many quotable lines found in Pulp Fiction. Half the dialogue here doesn't service the plot, which leads to bloat and frankly, an insult to the player's time. While I think the story makes for an interesting premise of a disgraced police chief running from the law to becoming the very villain he was accused of. The plot is horr...
