Virtua Cop 2 is a light gun rail shooter like its predecessor Virtua Cop. The player assumes the role of a police officer and is sent after criminals, from subways and a bank to aboard helicopters.
It follows the same gameplay pattern of its predecessor and is played from a first person perspective. The game moves the player automatically, although the player can find hiding places to shoot from a safe angle. The main task is to aim and fire the cop’s weapon so as to take out the bad guys for points. Avoid the innocents, as shooting them costs the player points. The enemies have tougher firepower than in the original and the game can be played solo or with a friend.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Set in a crime-ridden metropolis, this narrative-driven adventure casts players as Detective Janet Marshall, who uses subject profiling to investigate a complex money-laundering scandal. The story unfolds as Marshall delves into the remnants of the fallen EVL Inc. syndicate to uncover corruption within Virtua City Bank. Players must analyze crime scene details to identify patterns of criminal behavior and track down those responsible for recent suspicious deaths.
Story
TROUBLE IN VIRTUA CITY
Detective Janet Marshall
Detective Janet Marshall is the new face on the force at the VCPD Special Investigations Unit. Her specialty is subject profiling, which involves analyzing every detail at a crime scene to determine patterns of criminal behavior and personality types. Her expertise in the crime lab has put many criminals behind bars.
After losing her partner and mentor, Nick Anderson, last year, Janet joined the Special Investigations team. This move allows her to devote herself full-time to tracking down Anderson's killers. She is described as stubborn, but her ability to crack tough cases is unquestionable.
The EVL Inc. Downfall
Last summer, the original Virtua Cops, Michael “Rage” Hardy and James “Smarty” Cools, shut down the EVL Inc. criminal empire. Three major figures from the EVL syndicate are currently incarcerated:
•
Company president Elodon Vile
•
Security chief King
•
Gang leader Boss Kong
The final member of the EVL gang of four, international terrorist Joe Fang, is believed to have died in a helicopter crash. Although his body was never recovered, he is presumed dead.
The Money-Laundering Scandal
Following the fall of EVL Inc., a comprehensive investigation into their black market and gun-running activities was launched. The Virtua City Bank is under suspicion for involvement in an immense money-laundering operation. The bank vice-president has recently died in an untimely "accidental" death.
Following this death, a secret database was discovered. It showed periodic transfers of funds between EVL and the Virtua City Bank. The money, equivalent to a small country's GNP, has somehow disappeared.
Rage, Smarty, and Janet suspect foul play. A new danger threatens Virtua City.
How to Play
STARTING UP: HOW TO USE YOUR SEGA SATURN SYSTEM
This CD-ROM can only be used with the Saturn System. Do not attempt to play this CD-ROM on any other CD player, as doing so may damage the headphones and speakers.
Set up your Sega Saturn system by following the instructions in your Sega Saturn System Instruction Manual. Plug in Control Pad 1. For 2-player games, plug in Control Pad 2 also.
Place the Sega Saturn CD-ROM, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid.
Press the Power Button to load the game. The game starts after the Sega Saturn logo screen. If nothing appears, turn the system OFF and make sure it is set up correctly.
If you wish to stop a game in progress or the game ends and you want to restart, press the Reset Button on the Sega Saturn console to return to the Game's Title Screen. If you wish to return to the Control Panel, press Buttons A, B, C and Start simultaneously at any time.
If you turn on the power without inserting a CD, the Audio CD Control Panel appears. If you wish to play a game, place the Sega Saturn CD in the unit, press the D-Button to move the cursor to the top left button on the Control Panel, and press Start. The opening screens of a Game will appear.
IMPORTANT: Your Sega Saturn CD-ROM contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the centre of the disc and wiping straight out towards the edge.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS
A game intro follows the Sega logo. Watch it, or press Start at any time during the intro to move to the Title screen. Press Start again to enter the Mode Select screen.

YOUR GUN
A gun is a cop's best friend, and it's good to know your friends. Your standard-issue weapon is a six-round service revolver. Using it is simple - just take aim and fire.
You'll need a sharp eye and steady hand to make these shots, because the bad guys don't just stand around waiting for you to shoot them; they fight back with everything they've got. You lose a Life Marker each time one of their shots hits you. And to further complicate things, there are defenseless civilians running around the crime scene. Be careful not to shoot civilians - you lose a Life Marker if you do.
Damaging public and private property is not encouraged by the higher-ups back at the precinct. But extreme situations call for extreme measures, so don't be afraid to blast the occasional oil drum, cash machine or potted fern if it gets in your line of fire. Some objects in the background blow up when you shoot them, some may fall off the walls onto unwary criminals, and others may contain Power-Up items to boost your firepower and increase survivability.
POWER-UPS
There are various Power-Up items hidden throughout each stage. Shoot a Power-Up to acquire it. The Power-Up automatically becomes the active weapon for your character. Some Power-Up weapons can be re-loaded, others have only one clip. Power-Up weapons are lost when you lose a Life Marker.

If you choose not to continue, or you run out of Continues, the GAME OVER message appears on-screen, followed by the final Ranking screen. This Ranking screen assigns you a rank based on your overall performance in several categories:
•
Score: Your total score for the game
•
