It turns out this light shooter is part of a series made by Konami in the early 2000s, spanning three main entries and even receiving some PS2 ports. The installment that left the deepest impression on me was Keisatsukan 2. In this game, you play as one of four law enforcement characters traveling across various Japanese crime scenes to take down gang leaders.
What made Keisatsukan stand out was its motion cover system, which tracked the player’s body movements to take cover. At the time, this was a remarkably sophisticated feature that I haven’t seen replicated since.
My personal favorite character in Keisatsukan 2 is the Incognito Police, who sports a groovy afro, stylish attire, and a versatile firearms loadout with balanced stats. There’s also a SWAT member with a high-fire-rate SMG, but its slow reload speed makes the Incognito Police my go-to choice for most missions.
While I really doubt I will ever encounter this arcade game anymore, I will definitely give the game a try as my way to pay respect for the experience it gave me as a kid.
