Then we have Kurt Fuller as the smart-ass nerd type Dr. Cristi Conaway plays the attractive female Claire Hemmings who is the brains of the operation she essentially uses her skills to download details of past events into the Timecop’s heads, so they know how to survive in the various times they travel back to. Our lead is Jack Logan (Ted King) who is a very 90’s character with corny dialogue but he’s still appealing as are the rest of the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC) that he works with. Sadly the short-lived TV series from the 90’s also doesn’t bring Walker back but it is a bit of a guilty pleasure show. Review: If ever there was a movie I wanted a sequel to it was Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Timecop I know we got Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision with Jason Scott Lee but I always wanted to see more of Max Walker. Dale Easter, wisecracking technician Claire Hemmings and Jack’s boss, Eugene Matuzek. The TEC team working with Jack include dorky but brilliant Dr. That’s an agency that monitors old newspapers to look for “ripples in time” that signal bad guys have traveled into the past and are trying to change history for their own insidious ends. Plot: In the near future, cocky Timecop Jack Logan tries to “protect the past and preserve the future” by going on time-traveling missions assigned by the Time Enforcement Commission. If you like rail shooters, House of the Dead series offer much more value for your gaming time.Timecop: The TV Series isn’t exactly classic television but it’s still makes for a good time with an amiable lead and some cool ideas. 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.Īlthough 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. Games like this are fine in the arcades, where you can spend a dollar for a few games and then walk away. Overall, I find Virtua Cop 2 to be fun and entertaining while it lasts, although the replayability could have been much better. 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). Anyone who likes a steep challenge can turn the gunsight off in the options menu.Ī welcome new feature in Virtua Cop 2 is the ability to choose between two different paths per level. Without the gunsight, you won't know which one to shoot first. 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. The big "gunsight" is carried forward from Virtua Cop into this sequel. 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. 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. Shoot them in the head, and you will see it snap and the body fall backward in realistic motion. Shoot them in the groin and they will fall forward, clutching themselves in agony. For example, the enemies react differently depending on where you hit them. They even fall off buildings and crash through conveniently placed wooden crates. These characters know their parts well and always get to their entrances on time. 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). The graphics in this game easily surpasses those of the original Virtua Cop. You can only play this game with up to two players, though. Virtua Cop 2 follows the lives of three officers and their exploits in the field of crime fighting. 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.
