it was no surprise to see the sequel hit the arcades shortly thereafter. The soundtrack is perfect and sounds very similar to how it did in the arcade.Īfter the overwhelming popularity of VFI. Not only does the game look great, but it also moves at a smooth 60fps as well. Sega did a fantastic job here and they really do showcase how powerful the Saturn really was. There is no comparison between the stages here and the ones in the first game.
Each character has a unique look, they are animated very well and they look more like real people than they did in the first game.Īs well as the characters having far more detail so do the stages. My only complaint is the weird way that the hands look. These are some of the best graphics on the Sega Saturn. One of the most notable things about the game is the visuals. We have Lion who became a firm favorite of mine and also Shun who sure as hell did not! This Is Power It is a bit week in comparison to stuff like Mortal Kombat and Tekken, but I have always enjoyed a good fighting tournament.Īll eight of the characters from the first game return, but there are two new ones as well. The basic story of Virtua Fighter 2 is that there is a fighting tournament and 10 of the world's best fighters want to be crowned the king. They shoot rockets.īoss: Garse Bradley - basically it is a general operating a heavily armored tank.Īfter successfully shooting through all three episodes awaits the final battle with 'the Mastermind' - a supervillain wearing a jetpack.Back when this was released it was not common for fighting games to have as deep lore as they do now. Each major stage ends with a boss battle.īoss: Bobbie Louise - a muscular gang leader who throws barrels at the player and.he also grabs a truck.īoss: Aero-Divers - five soldiers with jetpacks. The game features only three selectable stages, but each of them has alternate routes to follow. By shooting them the players can gain access to extra lives, magnums, rifles, automatics, shotguns, machine guns and more. There are also in-game upgrades that are hidden in these destructible elements. Apart from killing villains the game features numerous destructible surrounding elements (you can even play drums!), which lower the overall accuracy, but are cool enough, that it is often hard to resist not to shoot 'just one more window'. After each segment of the game the players can see their statistics which involve: score, the number of killed gangsters and civilians, total number of shots, the number of successful shots and overall accuracy.
The second one serves as a shooting ground with 3 fields to choose from.
The first one allows players to choose from one of three available stages of various difficulty level in any order. Virtua Cop's sequel provides gamers with two modes - 'arcade' and proving ground. The player gets rewarded with extra points for disarming opponents by performing 'justice shots' or drowning them with a hail of bullets by performing '3 point shots'. The player does not manually control camera movement, but has to skilfully shoot the scripted enemies and avoid killing civilians.
The game can be controlled by the use of various peripherals like the light gun or PC mouse. Virtua Cop 2 is a rail shooter dealing with the topic of modern police operating in a giant metropolis called Virtua City.
