Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars

About

Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars is a 1993 live-action shooter that tasks players with hunting down drug traffickers in a gritty urban setting. Using a mix of pre-recorded video sequences and real-time action, you navigate streets and warehouses, aiming to eliminate targets while avoiding enemy fire. The gameplay loops around familiar mechanics from its predecessor, quick reflexes and precise shooting are key as you progress through missions. Multiplayer options let you team up or compete against others, adding replay value to the straightforward arcade-style challenge. The game’s most notable trait is its dated but functional use of laserdisc technology, which gives it a distinct visual style despite the grainy 90s video quality. Ports to DOS, 3DO, and CD-i kept it accessible beyond arcades, though its legacy remains niche. With a small but dedicated following, Drug Wars appeals to retro gaming fans who appreciate its no-frills action and co-op mode. The 2002 re-release by Digital Leisure briefly brought it back into the spotlight, but its appeal is best suited for those nostalgic for early interactive shooters.
