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. 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 Although the graphics are a bit out-of-date especially compared with 3D-accelrated marvels today, the details of polygons and their animations in Virtua Cop 2 are certainly second to none.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.

สุดยอดถ้าได้เล่น
I want that game link because I want to download that game
For those who still has their game running with no music, please make sure your virtual disk drive is in F: which you can set it in your virtual CD drive software (Daemon Tools is recommended).
It is also important to keep in mind that you need to mount the disc every time you want to run it.
It works for any SEGA games as well (VCOP2, DAYTONA, VON) so do keep this in mind.
*except HOTD1
if only i knew how to install this games,i used to love them in my childhood they remind me alot
Amazing and interesting game ever
makasihhh aku dari indonesia, game ini menemani masa kecil ku
@Vigilante really doubt you have a point here, anyway uploaded several new disc images of the game, enjoy
virustotal has flagged several files in this as malware, here are the links-

both the iso and the executable contact some really nasy IPs as well, look deeper, the main culprit seems to be the game file itself. only two vendors here, but check out the "relations" section, and see how bad this gets-

I Love this game old is gold
i love this game i play it in 2010
If any of yall have issues make sure to read the abandonware guide and follow the ISO install section. You need a third party program to mount the ISO.
Is it just me or is the ISO version hosted here corrupted? I can't mount it at all.
I really love this game.
I have been searching for the game for years but i have found it now, I hope it will be interesting

I feel so fucking nostalgic

the disc image file is corrupted
clássico!!!!
Very nice game. I Like it .
Works flawlessly without doing nothing special on Windows 11.
Unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows10 with a USB mouse, even with the fix, it keeps looking for an old PS2 Port mouse.
I just love this game. Thank u so much Myabandonwar
For anyone getting the "This app can't run on your PC" error when installing, instead of running the setup file just copy the "AREA51" folder from the disc to C:\AREA51. Then run the game! You'll have to create your own shortcut.
Though it isn't compatible with this particular game, anyone looking to use TWO light guns on other games (such as the House of the Dead series and more) should look into the "TroubleSHOOTER" application.
MY FIRST PALYING GAME
Only the rip version works for me (Win 10). It has no music.
I played this back on 2004 from my dad pc. I played it so much i can still remember some of the secret spots.
This plays lame gangta rap from the early 2000s in the background at an absolutely ridiculously loud level, and there's no way to turn it off. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
i played this game when i was grade 6, in 2002.bets game ever.
i had all of these games very lovely 1997

Anyone have the "This app can't run on your PC" error?

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.
