Lock and load as today we are taking a look at Virtua Cop 2 Arcade! This is a series that I absolutely adore and was a major reason why I nearly picked the Sega Saturn over the PlayStation. A local pizza place had this and I would always play it. Hell, I would go in to play this even if I was not having pizza!
. VIRTUA COP 2 (VIRTUA Squad II) PC-ISO. Old Games Finder is a search engine and assumes no responsibility for the content of external websites. Virtua Cop 2 (a.k.a. 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. Virtua Cop 2 follows the lives of three officers and their exploits in the field of crime fighting.
Laying Down The Law
As far as the story goes, from what I can tell it does follow on from the first game. We have two badass cops in Michael Hardy better known as Rage and James Cools better known by the less intimidating name of Smarty. They are joined by Janet as they try and solve the crime that is going down in their city. Look, it is not going to win any awards, but it is more than many other arcade games were offering, especially light gun shooters.
That Is Some Smooth Polygons You Got There
Visually, I feel that Virtua Cop 2 Arcade is a much sharper looking game than the first. The Sega Saturn version of the game looks great, it really does. However, when you see that and the arcade version side by side, this one does look notably better. Best of all, you do not have any long loading time in this game.
Shooting Them Down
I would assume that if you are reading this you know what a light gun shooter is. This is one of the best around and it is a great deal of fun to play. There are many bad guys that you need to shoot, but what is cool is that you do not always have to kill them. You can earn a bonus by shooting them in the hand and disarming them. Some civilians are real dumb asses as they seem to jump out at the worst freaking time, like they want to get shot in the face! You can lose a life by shooting a civilian or by getting hit by an enemy. The core gameplay is a great deal of fun and no matter how many times I have played through this game it never gets old.
So Much Crime!
A cool feature that was added in Virtua Cop 2 Arcade was that you now could pick what way you wanted to go. There are forks in the road that make you pick where to go next. This adds to the replay value and in all honesty, just makes the game more fun. Once you beat all of the stages you then have a big boss fight to end the game.
As much as I love the original game, this one blows it away with a heavy caliber handgun! The Sega Saturn version is awesome, but if you get the chance to play Virtua Cop 2 Arcade, you have to do it. It is one of my all-time favorite light gun shooters and a prime example of how good Sega was back in the day.
Final Score
Pros:
- It is much sharper than the console version
- You can pick which way to go in certain sections of the game
- From start to end it is a fun time
- It is the kind of game that is easy to play, but hard to master
- Plenty of bad guys to shoot!
Cons:
- The civilians are freaking morons
- It can be beaten pretty quickly

Description of Virtua Cop 2 Windows
Read Full DescriptionVirtua Cop 2 (a.k.a. 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.
Virtua Cop 2 follows the lives of three officers and their exploits in the field of crime fighting. You can only play this game with up to two players, though. The graphics in this game easily surpasses those of the original Virtua Cop. 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). These characters know their parts well and always get to their entrances on time. They even fall off buildings and crash through conveniently placed wooden crates.
The details are also very well done. For example, the enemies react differently depending on where you hit them. Shoot them in the groin and they will fall forward, clutching themselves in agony. Shoot them in the head, and you will see it snap and the body fall backward in realistic motion. 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. 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.
The big 'gunsight' is carried forward from Virtua Cop into this sequel. 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. Without the gunsight, you won't know which one to shoot first. Anyone who likes a steep challenge can turn the gunsight off in the options menu.
A welcome new feature in Virtua Cop 2 is the ability to choose between two different paths per level. 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).
Overall, I find Virtua Cop 2 to be fun and entertaining while it lasts, although the replayability could have been much better. Games like this are fine in the arcades, where you can spend a dollar for a few games and then walk away. Here, you're being asked to spend forty dollars (well, zero now, since SEGA has long discontinued the PC version) for a game that has only three levels.
Although the graphics is excellent and the game has a good feel to it even when played with a mouse, Virtua Cop 2 isn't really worthy of our Top Dog tag due to the game's brevity and repetitive gameplay. If you like rail shooters, House of the Dead series offer much more value for your gaming time.

I first played this in a pay-to-play game zone in a multiplex when I was 5. I later began playing it when I was in 4th grade. I felt like taking a small trip down the memory lane, so I got it here.
