The virtua bitĪlright, so technically it's better than the older games mentioned.
Because a) it's not exactly up to the minute in the arcade world, and b) we've seen this sort of thing before. So what we're saying is that although it may at first seem pretty swish to get an arcade thing like this on the pc, don't get too carried away. (Until you pop up at the wrong moment.) Virtua Cop is a straightforward Operation Wolf or Terminator 2-style blast.
Time Crisis lets you hide behind handily placed large objects, pop up to redecorate the walls of whatever shop in Gstaad High Street you happen to be in with blood and offal rather than chocolate and clocks, and duck out of sight again, tittering to yourself. Time Crisis was the the first game that actually lets you duck when you're being shot at. We don't really pay a lot of attention to the plots.) Hot new arcade game hits PC shock.
You will also almost certainly be aware that Virtua Cop has been more or less superseded by another shooting game called Time Crisis, which has something to do with a frustrated watchmaker going berserk in the streets of Gstaad with an automatic pistol. If you're at all familiar with Virtua Cop, it will almost certainly be because you're one of those types who visit arcades, push loudmouthed children out of the way and put all your beer money (or curry money or child maintenance or whatever) into the machines. When you get hit, you lose a hit point and if you have a special weapon you lose that too! You also lose a hit point if you hit a civilian instead of a bad guy. Your standard gun can hold six bullets, but you can get more powerful weapons as you play. The game gives you the ability to take a few hits before you are dead. Cops With GunsĪs you know the gameplay of Virtua Cop is that of a light gun shooter. They did manage to squeeze more out of the Saturn for the second game though as that one looks much smoother and sharper than this one does. I have always liked how bright this series was and while things are very blocky (they even were in the arcade) you can tell what stuff is supposed to be and in general, things move pretty quickly so you do not notice stuff like cars sometimes having square wheels! The Power Of SaturnĪs far as the presentation goes, I feel that Sega did a damn fine job with this. Plus, it has that horrible and so bad it is good voice acting that always makes me smile. I do not feel that the Virtua Cop series is as story-driven as the House of the Dead series, but what is here works. You play as one of two cops who are out to stop a crime syndicate from running guns and getting up to all kinds of bad stuff. The plot of the game is pretty generic stuff, but it works.
