As there is no manual save and the game only autosaves at the beginning of a new day the game would crash at the worst possible moment. Unfortunately the game was literally repetitive for me as I had the game crash after almost every day. Depending on what happens a day can take quite a while, but I still found it felt less repetitive. I did feel the game flowed better, with the strategy side of things benefiting massively from the extra control with your officer’s stats and the whole thing moving at a smoother pace all round. Get a cutscene, complete a day sending your officers around, maybe a tactical battle, get another cutscene possibly, start a new day and so on. Fail the entire mission and the game will offer you a chance to try again, which is nice and forgiving.ĭespite all these changes, which are for the better, the flow of the game is very similar to the first. Enemies move in set patterns and generally you’ll want to stay silent and stun then arrest suspects rather than opening fire but if a gun fight does start then you have high and low cover as is standard and your officers can get injured or even die.

The officers stats will allow them to activate perks before they start the missions which will let them diffuse traps, silently unlock doors or windows or climb over walls, to name a few. As is the norm for these things you, by default, have two actions which you can use to either move twice or move and act or act and then move or act twice. Certain crimes lead to tactical missions, which means you get to control your officers in an XCOM style. There is an additional game mode added to This Is the Police 2. Another improvement from the first game here is that the images you arrange are now annotated, so no more having to decipher what the images mean before trying to arrange them into order. The higher their intelligence stat the better and once you’ve got enough evidence you can arrange a story board, of sorts, of what happened and send your officers to catch whoever you figure to be guilty. Unlike the first game where you had detectives, here you simply use some of your officers to collect clues and information, though when they’re doing that they won’t be available on the streets. There will be larger crimes that require your input to determine a suspect. Everyone has a knife and gun which, generally, should be used as a last resort. Similarly you assign equipment to your officers so someone with a baton or taser might get the option to take down someone non-lethally. Trying to chase down a suspect with a slow cop will fail, whilst trying to talk someone down with a great negotiator will always work out. Unlike the simple choose your own adventure style randomness of the first game here the options you have can succeed or fail depending on the officer performing them. Strength, intelligence, speed, stealth, shooting and negotiation are the stats and they come into play when the cops reach the crime scene.

Each officer has a range of stats that they come with and can be upgraded as their professionalism increases.

Officers will also have their own quirks, like a man that refuses to work with women or a female officer who will not work with a man less professional than she is.Īdded for the sequel are stats. This respect can go up or down and your life will be easier with a roster of loyal cops.

Cops have respect for you, or not, so some will ignore certain orders or will refuse to work alone. This could mean one of your better cops or multiple lesser ones. Each has a time limit so you’ll want to attend to each as soon as possible, bringing up each will give you a little explanation of what has been called in.įrom here you need to send cops whose professionalism, denoted by a number next to a star, adds up to or above the required number. From here you get a map of the town and crimes will appear on the left of the screen for you to assign people to. You get to choose who works each day from your roster, employing more at the end of the day with currency you earn from catching criminals. Jack’s past has a way of catching up with him though so staying clean is not going to be an option and balancing fighting crime and keeping less savoury characters off your back is a challenge.Īs with the first game being in charge of the officers means you tell them exactly what to do at all times. After the cabin he’s renting is caught up in a drugs bust, he is identified by the new, inexperienced Sheriff and is drafted in to help with the crime problem. Without spoiling too much of the plot from the first title, Jack finds himself hidden away in the snowy town of Sharpwood. This Is the Police 2 continues the story of Jack Boyd and has similar management gameplay, but most elements have seen substantial improvements. The sequel to This Is the Police has arrived on PS4.
