However, the game has some drawn out cutscenes and conversations, and players are only able to skip the whole scenes rather than fast-forwarding through them. The game’s narrative is intriguing, with many plot points clamoring for more attention.
While many comparisons have been made between the game and Fargo, the game reminded me a lot of the movie Red Hill for those that may have seen it. The long and short of it is there is a new sheriff in town, and boy are they having a tough time keeping things in order.
The narrative of the title begins with a bit of backstory that brings players up to speed with what is happening in Sharpwood. Due to the events of the first game, Boyd has found himself in the role of an advisor for the Sharpwood Police Department. This Is The Police 2 is a sequel to the original game, and players once again take the role of Jack Boyd, who was the police chief of Freeburg city from the first game. While the first game took place in the big city of Freeburg, This Is The Police 2 takes place in the sleepy, small town of Sharpwood. While I did not play the first game, the concept had always intrigued me, but the time and opportunity to give the game a try never presented itself. This Is The Police 2 is a police management and simulation game, with elements of strategic gameplay as well. The sequel to 2016’s This Is The Police, This Is The Police 2 looks to build upon the foundation that the first game set, and make it bigger and better.
