Escape Road 2 throws you into nonstop police chases where the cops never stop coming. You're driving through city streets trying to survive as long as possible while dodging traffic, shaking pursuit vehicles, and generally causing mayhem. The longer you last, the crazier it gets.
What makes it intense is the escalation. Early on it's a few cop cars. Then helicopters join in. Then SWAT vehicles. Eventually the whole city feels like it's trying to stop you, and you're just weaving through gaps in traffic hoping you don't clip a corner wrong and end your run.
Arrow keys or WASD control your vehicle. The handling is arcade-style—loose enough to drift around corners but tight enough to thread narrow gaps. You need both. Sharp turns are how you shake cops. Precision driving is how you avoid crashes.
The city is procedurally generated, so you can't memorize routes. You're making split-second decisions—left or right, straight through or detour. Every turn could lead to a dead end or a clean escape route. That uncertainty keeps runs feeling fresh.
Don't drive in straight lines for long. Cops predict your path. Constant turning makes you harder to pin down. Also, use traffic as obstacles. Cops will crash into civilian cars trying to reach you, buying you breathing room.
When helicopters show up, go under overpasses or through tunnels when possible. They lose sight of you temporarily, which can break pursuit chains. And pay attention to your car's damage—too many hits and you're done. Sometimes avoiding a risky shortcut is smarter than taking it.
