Product Description
In the closing days of 1999, a rampant crime wave has come to grip Union City. In Urban Chaos, as either streetwise rookie cop D'arci Stern or vigilante Roper McIntyre, you must counteract the crazed millennium cult that wishes to fulfil Nostradamus' prediction for Armageddon. To defeat the cult, you'll have to complete 30 missions--but how you complete those missions is up to you. There are numerous ways to complete your goal through all of the levels--your character can ride the subway, commandeer taxis and even jump between rooftops. In your effort to uncover the truth, you can also use aggressive tactics to pry suspects for information. The soundtrack to this third-person crime fighter features Photek and Asian Dub Foundation, among others.
Review
It is to be hoped that our future won't be as crime-ridden as that presented in Urban Chaos. If it is, let's hope we're protected by officers like D'arci Stern, a tough-as-nails female cop who carries enough weaponry and fighting combos to fight a small army.
A dangerous gang, known as the Wildcats, rules most of Union City's dangerous streets. It'll take D'arci and the nimble fingers of an action gamer to liberate Union City and make it safe again for its once-peaceful citizens.
Urban Chaos features a series of interconnecting missions filled with various law enforcement objectives, such as preventing a mugging or robbery, serving a warrant or engaging in a good old-fashioned car chase. The provision of multiple solutions to most mission problems means excellent replayability, although you're likely to solve most problems with D'arci's fists or hand-held weaponry. An intuitive control scheme (a game pad works best) helps players perform the game's wide range of combat and acrobatic manoeuvres.
Urban Chaos's third-person graphics engine renders Union City in abundant detail: pedestrians wander sidewalks, leaves blow in the streets and cars obey traffic laws. Full detail requires a top-of-the-line machine, but you can adjust many elements of the graphics engine to achieve a playable frame rate when meeting minimum system requirements. --Doug Radcliffe
