Law and Order II is divided into two distinct sections of gameplay: the investigation and the prosecution. At the beginning of the game, you’ll take on the investigation of a murder victim found shot to death in his car. Before beginning your investigation, the game prompts you to choose two of four special abilities that aid you through the game: interview, evidence collection, teamwork, and case organization. Each of these four abilities enable you to select the best questions during a witness interrogation, find case-related evidence, receive help from your superior officer, and construct a solid prosecution, respectively.
