About VirtualCop


VirtualCop lets you feel what it’s like to be a New Zealand Police Officer. See what policing in Aotearoa is all about by helping the crime scene staff search for evidence, engage with people in the community, and help direct police resources to catch offenders.

Created using the talents of real officers, VirtualCop allows you to feel the kind of experiences police officers have every day to your PC and VR headset.

Do you care enough to be a cop?

VirtualCop is a Virtual Reality experience that lets you become a virtual member of the New Zealand Police, assisting officers in making Aotearoa the safest country. Your journey will take you from a command center where you'll choose which cases to take, and out into the community where you'll assist officers at the scene of a burglary, or in getting to know the local community in a series of mini-game interactions.

  • Solve Cases


    Choose which incoming cases to help our officers with and which units to deploy.
  • Meet your Community


    Engage in the one of the most important parts of keeping Aotearoa safe, getting to know the community!
  • Search for evidence


    Sweep a crime-scene for evidence as a Scene of Crime Officer.
  • VR or PC


    VirtualCop is playable with or without a Virtual Reality headset!
  • Do you care enough to be a cop?

Looks better in the screenshots. VirtualCop, not to be confused by the vastly superior police simulator Virtua Cop, is a boring Unity engine adventure game. Look around with a mouse or a VR headset and do whatever the game prompts you to do. Government funding really needs to be more discerning on what's being pitched as a video game that represents not just NZ cops, but New Zealand itself, why it needs cops, and what issues ails NZ's society today, than just say, "burglars" that require an armed response unit and a chopper. Also as an American not enough officer involved shootings and gunfights. You'd think the place where Lord of the Rings happened would include more Orcs and Nazghuls to fight, but it's just psychotically pulling off 3s from a half court on the most awful looking basketball hoop imaginable. The Philippines have actual backboards on their hoops you know.

Игра Virtual Cop - это взрыв чистого аркадного адреналина прямиком из 90-х! Простота геймплея подкупает: мочишь плохих парней, спасаешь заложников и стремишься к максимальному счету. Графика, конечно, устарела, но стилизованная мультяшность скорее придает ей шарм, чем отталкивает. Особый кайф получаешь от перестрелок, когда нужно быстро реагировать и точно стрелять, чтобы не получить пулю самому. Не ждите реализма - здесь все заточено под веселье и динамику. Сюжет, по сути, отсутствует, но это с лихвой компенсируется ураганным темпом и разнообразием локаций. От доков до казино - каждая миссия предлагает новые вызовы и врагов. Возможность играть вдвоем делает процесс еще более захватывающим. Несмотря на свой возраст, Virtual Cop до сих пор остается отличным выбором для тех, кто ищет простую, но затягивающую аркаду, позволяющую окунуться в атмосферу старых добрых игровых автоматов. Это идеальный вариант для коротких, но интенсивных игровых сессий, чтобы отвлечься от повседневной рутины и почувствовать себя настоящим героем боевика.
