Failing to deal with crimes, being defeated in tactical battles, and losing officers means less currency to purchase equipment and new officers, which makes it even more difficult to be successful in the future. This further exacerbates one of the biggest weaknesses in This is the Police 2, the game has a feedback loop that is really hard to break out.
Players are often left groping around in the dark until they figure things out or relying on guides. This is the Police 2 does an awful job explaining basic mechanics like officer loyalty. It’s also the most mechanically complex portion of the game and puts up a decent challenge that will keep players on their toes. The turn-based strategy section is probably the strongest gameplay element. Everything comes together quite nicely for the most part, though the police department management sim can get a little repetitive after a while. Simplicity isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there are so many different gameplay elements being thrown around. The game generally executes all the mechanics well enough, but generally falls on the simpler side of the scale. While the game has elements of many different genres, it mainly breaks down to managing the police department, solving mysteries, leading tactical assaults during major crime events, and following the unfolding drama. This is the Police 2 is much like a buffet: you get a sample of everything without going too deep. The side stories involving individual police officers and local crime is also well written, often being a light hearted to balance out the generally dark nature of the main plot.
His rough and tumble style conflicts wonderfully with Lilly’s by the book mindset, but the two are in a tense dance as Lilly and Jack find themselves in a position where they must rely on each other for their short-term goals. Jack is a man on the run who has little problem falling back to his old ways. Although I have not played the first game, the writers do a good job allowing players to select their version of events from the first game and always introducing old characters properly. The story in This is Police 2 is excellent. Reed is struggling to find her confidence as a leader and some of her new subordinates are less than thrilled about having a woman in command. Lilly Reed has just been thrust into her new leadership role as Sheriff of Sharpwood after the death of her mentor.
Jack Boyd has reappeared after going into hiding, looking to avoid jailtime. This is the Police 2 is set a year after the events of This is the Police.

Offering elements of simulation, turn based strategy, RPGs, and visual novels, This is the Police 2 thrusts players behind the desk of the police commander in Sharpwood, Alaska.
