Play Police Quest 2: The Vengeance Online

Police Quest 2: The Vengeance is a graphic adventure game released in 1988 for MS-DOS. Developed and published by Sierra On-Line, Inc., it is a detective and mystery title that uses a side view perspective and incorporates puzzle elements. The game continues the story of police officer Sonny Bonds shortly after the events of the first Police Quest, following his transfer to the Homicide division and his pursuit of the escaped drug lord Jesse Bains.

Players control Sonny Bonds as he investigates crimes and gathers evidence to recapture Bains. Interaction with the game world is managed through a text parser interface, while movement is handled either with directional keys or a mouse pointer to click on locations within each scene. The gameplay involves exploring various environments, collecting forensic evidence, and solving puzzles to progress the narrative. Key sequences include activities like using a shooting range, conducting an underwater search, and examining the interior of a vehicle, with the game focusing more on investigative field work than the street patrol duties of its predecessor.

Progression is structured around completing investigative tasks and following story leads. The game removes the driving sequences found in the first title, instead using transitional dialogue between Sonny and his partner Keith to connect locations. The objective remains to methodically uncover clues and piece together evidence that links Bains to the criminal events, advancing the plot toward a confrontation. The overall approach shifts from general police work to detailed forensic analysis as the primary means of solving the mystery.
