High Speed Chase 2

High Speed Chase 2 is the 17th JTS game and the sequel to HSC. It is also the third game to use the classic red-and-white paintjob that is one of the regularly appearing parts of the site and their games.

History
High Speed Chase 2 was the first game made by the brothers for iPhone. Released in July 2009, it was made singularly for iPhone with no web-based version in the works. There were many differences between it and its web-based predecessor, however. Most notable among the changes were the many levels (High Speed Chase had only one). Other changes included in-game scoring medals (certain scores qualified for a gold, silver, or bronze medal on one level), upgrades (machine guns, pistols, and other weapons put on your car), and different bosses (more than one type of car on the road, culminating in a tank as the final boss). In fact, the gameplay is more akin to the Heist series than to High Speed Chase. This was well explained by Max in the press release when he postulated:

"Our focus is on gameplay, what makes a game fun and not on graphics or recycling old ideas; because a game isn't just one thing, – it's a complicated blend of balanced Artificial Intelligence, appropriate Graphic Design, evolving Game Logic, incessant Optimisation, imaginative Marketing and exciting Illustration."

Gameplay
As in the earlier version, the left and right arrow keys are used to steer, the down key to break, the up key to accelerate, and the escape key to pause. The spacebar triggers the power-up, and the shift key switches between the first and (if equipped) the second power-up.

Medals
There are twelve medals in HSC2. From greatest to least value, these are:

Double O: (100) Bank 1 million credits.

Until Next Time: (100) Complete all missions.

Agent X: (100) Complete all missions with a gold score.

Top Class: (50) Get your first gold score.

Super Rogue Agent: (50) Take out 1000 civilian vehicles.

Smokin Ace: (50) Complete a mission with your car on fire.

Rogue Agent: (30) Take out 100 civilians.

Blistering: (30) Hit 164 mph in a mission.

Midrift: (20) Jump the midsection of the road (over the lane divider).

Crash Test: (5) Take down your first target.

Trivia

 * This is the first game made by Johnny Two Shoes specifically for iPhone.
 * This is the 17th JTS game.
 * This is the fifteenth game with medals.
 * Glitch: The Agent X medal can be earned by getting gold scores in the first eleven missions without playing the bonus levels or the final level.
 * Even though the Top Class medal is golden, it's worth as much as Super Rogue Agent and Smokin Ace, which are both silver.
