This Is the Police 2 Reviews
Few stories in games can successfully make me hate the "protagonist" and at the same time draw me compulsively further into the events and plot twists. Paired up with the simplistic and impressionistic art of the story frames, the atmosphere and the complexity of the intertwining yet opposing factions bandying for influence over hopelessly corrupt Jack Boyd and you have a Noir story set in the 80's that could rival the classics.
This is the Police 2 is a proper sequel that develops the ideas of the original. Creators managed to maintain a balance between good and diverse gameplay, humorous situations and a depressing dramatic story. If you liked the original, then you should buy a second game from a day one.

An overall improvement on the original but the lack of focus encourages too many unwanted features, that dilute an otherwise interesting portrayal of law enforcement.

Overall, This Is The Police 2 is a solid police management game, playing to its strengths and providing a well-rounded experience for players.
The creators of This is the Police 2 were not able to dismantle the gameplay routine of police chief's everyday work. The game's new feature – tactical missions – is well-made and really fun but this feeling ends very quick. You can't save your game during these missions which is very frustrating. Still, the story is great and the fans of the previous game will be happy.

This Is the Police II is, overall, a good game, but it has some deep flaws. Is not made for everyone, mixes too much genres and its argument could be better focused but, still, it is an entertaining adventure that can be followed with great interest.

As a whole, This is the Police 2 mirrors Jack fairly well. It can be cruel and insufferable, but if you can bear the abuse, you'll find yourself engrossed in a unique, compelling experience that is unlike most other management sims.
This Is The Police 2 proves to be a challenging management simulator with a dark story that sometimes gets a little long-winded. A few hiccups hold it back, but fans of the genre will enjoy it all the same.
Before the balance patch, I really did think the game was just too hard. However, if you are a fan of the first This is the Police you will enjoy the second game. If you didn't play the first entry and are looking for a cop simulation game, give This is the Police 2 a go.
This is the Police 2 is a nice mix of different genres. Separately each of them may not seem very exciting, but this game is more than just a sum of each ingredient.

For fans of the original, This the Police 2 is undoubtedly a stronger game. For new players, if you want to understand some of the characters in this game you might want to pick up This Is The Police for the story, but in terms of gameplay, this is a far more polished, in-depth and immersive experience than This Is The Police.
