It doesn't get more real than this. Police Quest's four action-packed stories throw you instantly into a cop's daily life. Investigate homicides. Foil drug rings. Track down a serial killer. Former LAPD Chief Daryl Gates is on hand with real-world experience. The closest experience to being a police officer without having a badge.

About In-Game Bugs:
To the people who bitch about the bugs in this game: UPDATE IT YOU FOOLS! Goto the game maker's website and download the update. If you can't find it, do a search online for "SWAT 2 Updates" or something. Use Webcrawler.com instead of Google. Webcrawler is a META Search Engine, so what it does is it searches using a bunch of search engines including Google, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo, Altavista, etc etc and filters out the best results. Plus, it's been around alot longer than Google and doesn't contain any spyware unlike Google.

Anyway, back to the game. This is a classic game and continues in the tradition of Police Quest. The legacy continues even today with the popular hit SWAT 4 and the new SWAT 4 Expansion Pack. SWAT 3 was an amazing game and was even named Game of the Year. Infact, there are some elements to SWAT 2 and SWAT 3 that are even better than the current #4 title, such as in SWAT 2 you can play as the Terrorist and in SWAT 3 there was fantastic Multiplayer capability with excellent weapon/map mod/upgrades, as well as better Squad and Communications navigation and layout.

So, if you're into playing classic, fun games, then this is right up your alley. This game isn't old enough to be completely outdated and confusing or incompatible with your computer system.

I recommend buying the Police Quest Collection / Police Quest Compilation as well as this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatness of it all!, July 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Police Quest: SWAT 2 (CD-ROM)

SWAT2 is sweet! It should be honored as the best game on the whole entire planet. Those who do not bow before the power of SWAT2 will surely be struck down by several lightnin... never mind that. If you dont like this game, oh well, i cant help that. But anyway, as I was saying, this is wonderful and I must say that it is easily the best game that I have ever seen. Such versatility! Play as either LAPD or the terrorists! Can you do that in SWAT3? I dont think so (although I may be wrong and if I am then go buy yourself a new hat). But you get the picture, this is a great game.

I used own this game LOOOOOONG time ago when I was like, in the 5th grade. The replay of this game reminds me that of Starcraft. I would play it to the ground, then stop for a few months, then play it to the ground again. I absolutly loved it. I'm actually writing to see if anybody's selling a copy. I lost my cd long ago and I really wanna play it now.... If anyone has a copy that WILL play with a minimum amount of scratchs, and no deep scratchs, THE THING HAS TO PLAY, I'll buy it for like, $0.0.0 bucks or somthin.
