This Is the Police 2 Reviews
If you are a huge fan of the first This is the Police, you are in for an awakening. An awakening both good and bad, while some things such as the more in-depth officers and RPG like system were improved on, yet the over-excessive story and hard difficulty overshadows the improvements in those gameplay features. Some of these can be fixed with updates, others may not. I would love to see a third with the best of both worlds put in.
This Is the Police 2 is exactly the game that we were longing for. There were no games based on real-life events for a long time. you should behold the magic cast by developers in the campaign section, and hope that gameplay does not get monotonous over time. Graphics are on an acceptable level and despite outdated cutscene visuals. This Is The Police 2 can serve as a fun experience.

This is the Police 2 is a great example of how to present a Tactical RPG game on Consoles. Everything from the menus to the GUI is fully optimised for either the Mouse on PC or the Controller on Consoles – this may seem small, but there are some games out there which don't get this right. The game is full of action, excitement, humour, and manipulation – a perfect list of ingredients for a game about dirty cops, corruption, criminals and the law. If you've played the original game then you need to play this as it follows on directly. If you haven't played the original, either go pick it up or just jump right into this one as all the backstory is fully explained.
This Is The Police 2 is shooting for something morally grey and messy but never quite has the narrative heft to carry it.
Overall, This is the Police 2 is an outstanding game. It’s fun to micro-manage your team and it really makes you proud for when you get situations right and manage to save the day.
It would be easy to dismiss this as a Fargo knockoff, instead of a game that’s trying to find its out story niche. It may be a bit disjointed in its pacing, but its core story is an engaging one, enough to keep me wanting to play through.
Despite not much changed in the core game, and the tactical combat mechanics are rather simplistic, This is the Police 2 is a solid sequel to the original game.
Bogged down by unnecessary hurdles and overly complicated storytelling, This Is The Police 2 does not do its premise justice.
On the whole This is the Police II puts obvious effort into being a better and more interesting game than its predecessor. While the development team obviously set their sights pretty high the results are likely heavily open to interpretation. People who thoroughly enjoy the challenge of managing their resources and struggling to keep it all together may thoroughly enjoy the experience, aggravations and all. However, if you’re just looking for something to start up and begin enjoying this sequel is a bit of a step back from even the original, becoming more cumbersome with the weight of its ambitions that don’t all work out.
This is the Police 2 was interesting, but not all the time. After some time it became slightly monotonous and things began to repeat. Because of one mistake, I had to play the game again before I reached the end. This game has a lot of ideas that look great, but unfortunately are not finished. So is the second part better than the first one? Certainly not for me, because the first episode came to me that coined the principle in "simplicity is strength". In the second episode they tried to add a heap of new elements which most of them do not work as they should. That's a pity.

This is the Police 2 is a sequel that tries to experiment on its mistakes, but the situation only gets worse. With a superfine narrative, but at times long and boring, and a management in disarray that unnecessarily complicates a strategic one that would have excellent bases to entertain. In this version for Nintendo Switch are added microscopic and almost incomprehensible texts in portable mode, no touchscreen and some uncertainty about the use of commands. Fingers crossed for the next chapter (if they decide to do it!).

Although conceptually sound with a fairly strong setting, This is the Police 2 struggles to say or do anything meaningful with its premise.
Overall, This Is The Police 2's mechanics are a vast improvement on an already solid formula, and this change for the better also stretches into the game's plot.
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 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.
This is the Police 2 is a challenging game with very good story and narration, unique art style, nice music and variable gameplay that has seen good improvements Compared with the first game. Story is so amazing and challenges you very well in some points. Although This is the Police 2 has some issues and weak points like some annoying long dialogs, but in the end this a game that worth your time and money very well.

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.

Sometimes trying to do so much dilutes what you're trying to accomplish, and This is The Police II is a prime example of that.
TITP2 is a challenging but enjoyable experience. Maybe the super hard difficulty is to understand its core message. As a simulator, being the chief police officer is a hard and enduring task. Sometimes you have to risk citizen lives for the greater good. Other times you have to neglect alerts and send your officers for personal gain. It's a cold and grueling world, just like Sharpwood. Despite its flaws, I appreciate the improvements in this sequel.

A competent sequel that adds some neat touches, but doesn't fix enough of the first game's problems.
