Autobahn Police Simulator 2 is a premium driving simulation game that puts you in the shoes of a law enforcer on Europe’s fastest road. Developed by Z-Software, this game requires an in-depth strategy in order for you to rise through the ranks of ordinary police officers at your station. 

Autobahn Police Simulator 2 is built upon the success of its predecessor Autobahn Police Simulator. In this latest iteration, you can customize your in-game character's attributes to your liking, including head, body, and clothing. Along the way, you'll have the ability to upgrade items and player skills based on your performance.

Combining strategy, progression, and realism

Previously not available in the franchise's maiden version, Autobahn Police Simulator 2 features Character Creator—a functionality that offers a high level of freedom in fine-tuning your character's appearance to suit your gaming preferences. The game also introduces a tech tree system that enables you to unlock upgrades. One of the most sought-after upgrades is the police helicopter, which proves to be an indispensable asset during missions.

In addition, the game's open-world setup offers long-term varied gameplay beyond simple simulation. You can take on a multitude of randomly selected missions, including car chases at high speeds, escorts, accident securing, and traffic checks in its free mode. Successfully completing these missions allows you to move up in rank. Plus, the game’s story mode features an elaborate narrative with 20 missions, which are broken up by cutscenes. 

To amplify the immersive quality of the game, all missions in both free and story modes are extensively voiced. Furthermore, the game provides you with a choice of three different vehicles—each with detailed functions, such as siren signals, LED matrix control—and indicators, to enhance the realistic aspect of the game. However, the game lacks a social element as it doesn't support collaborative gameplay.

Immersive open-world mechanics 

In conclusion, Autobahn Police Simulator 2, as an upgrade to its predecessor, provides a richer and more varied gaming experience for its audience. Its open-world environment, customizable elements, progressive upgrades, and assortment of tasks, elevate this game above a simple simulator. Suited to aficionados of racing games or those intrigued by policing scenarios, it is indeed a worthwhile game to explore.
