Great for playing through once

The game has an interesting premise and I love the noir atmosphere. Managing the variety of police personalities is interesting. Dark humor lightens the game, whose main plot is definitely in the grim noir side. My only gripe with the game is the way it offers an illusion of choice, when there isn't really any. Nothing you do (other than failing the game that it ending because of it) alters the plot. There are several places where the game implies your choices matter, such as in the competition with Carter. But it simply doesn't; the plot is written in one way and the game forces you to lose the competition, for example, no matter what you do. This kind of railroading might be fitting for the existentialistic dread common to neo-noir, but it is an annoying things to find in a game. Still, worth it for playing through once. Some of the side cases and personalities are quite interesting, while the main plot is quite basic.

Bloated story, amateurish voice acting

If you're familiar with the first, then this one is similar in the management screen and adds a turbased tactical combat element. The former is fun and with some improved visuals. I really enjoyed the whole PD management from the first game. But the tactical combat really is too shallow to be considered added value in this case. What I'm really put off by is, as many reviewers have pointed out, the awful voice acting and bloated story sequences. The first game had story sequences but they were maybe a couple minutes at most. This game starts you out with a 20 minute non-skippable story sequence. Then, even for calls, there's just an unnecessary amount of awful writing and more plot sequences. I don't know why the developers thought to turn this series into a story heavy title suddenly because the first, while it did have a fitting narrative, it didn't feel like it "got in the way" of the gameplay and the fun. If you played the first and enjoyed that management gameplay, that's why you play these games. We don't play "Sim City" for 10 minute story sequences for some Sim's homelife and their conversations with the mayor's assistants. We play for the GAMEPLAY. I came to this sequel for more of what I enjoyed from the first but it turns out the gameplay comes secondary to the developers' writing ambitions.

Great game, terrible story

So this game would be perfect. If it didn't bother with the "plot". I'm a big fan of the mechanics - the station management is fun, much better than in the first part. That part of the game is a blast. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the story. The cutscenes are really boring, and the characters entirely unlikable. So just skip the cutscenes and you'll be golden.

Acceptable game but..

You will be forced to use torture (in a very very very boring and repetetive setup) to advance. The way it is pictured in this game is plain unacceptable. The rest of the game is fine but this really kind of breaks it for me.

I don't understand it

I'm trying to play a game but where's the game? So far this is just story, and it isn't particularly good or interesting I'd be better off watching a movie. It's exceedingly slow to the point of having difficulty paying attention, characters are talking about the most inane things I can imagine and they are repeating themselves over and over again! I just can't seem to wrap my head around the vision. On the other hand it does seem capably put together technically. There are a few very small bugs here and there, but the production is mostly clean. Without a game underneath what's the point of playing this.
