Virtua Cop: Elite Edition
Description
Virtua Cop: Elite Edition is a combination of Virtua Cop 1 & 2.
You play a cop who has been called out to deal with a certain situation, armed with your trusty sidearm. Enemies pop out from behind most objects and a reticule lights up around them to let you know they are armed and dangerous. You have to have quick reflexes as innocent people pop up which need to be protected.
There are 6 levels in all, 3 from each game and these levels have multiple stages. With the three difficulty levels on offer, along with the modifications you can make in the options setup such as the number of continues and auto reload and taking off the enemy indicator, you can make the game as difficult or as easy as you wish. There are multiple paths on some levels so there is some incentive to replay the levels.
There is a 2 player co-operative mode which can still be played with two light guns or you can use the Dual Shock pad. Training is also available. Even though this an old Sega Saturn game, it hasn't been improved much for the PS2 so expect a smoother gameplay of the older graphics.

Virtua Cop 1 and 2 on PS2? Cool!
The Good
This compilation is probably the most faithful to the arcade versions of Virtua Cop 1 and 2 ever made. Since I love the arcade versions so much, I loved this. It's basically the exact same thing with a few extras, such as the way you can control how many credits/continues you have etc. All in all, a great game with a few extras.
The Bad
The only thing that bugged me was the fact that my lightgun didn't reach to the far right or left of the screen, but I guess that's just to do with my TV/lightgun/PS2 console. It didn't detract enough to stop me playing it.
The Bottom Line
Virtua Cop Elite Edition is a great and cheap way to play these arcade classics. Props to Sega for doing this (They also did it for the Sonic series, very cool!), and I hope they bring out more classics like this for future generations to enjoy just as much as we do!
