Product Description Since the beginning of time, good has fought evil. Up till now, good has won. But as the new millennium approaches, it seems that the tide may be turning. The thought is on everyone's lips: maybe Nostradamus was right. The year is 1999, just at the turn of the millennium. Turmoil, war, and famine rule. In the major cities of the world, chaos is rampant. Crooks, thieves, terrorists, and violent cults lurk around every corner. It is up to you to try to bring order. You can enter the world as one of two characters: D'arci, a cop trying to prove her mettle, or Roper, a vigilante dedicated to thwarting the efforts of a religious cult. Either one could be the hero this city is waiting for. But time is running out. Only by exploring the gritty city streets of America and beating the forces of chaos at their own game can you bring hope to a world at the edge of a new millennium. Review Hopefully our future won't be as crime-ridden as that presented in Mucky Foot Productions and Eidos Interactive's Urban Chaos. Should it be, though, 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 battle 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-oriented objectives, such as preventing a mugging or robbery, serving a warrant or even engaging in the good old-fashioned car chase. Multiple solutions to most mission problems provide an excellent amount of replayability--though you're likely to solve most with D'arci's fists or hand-held weaponry. An intuitive control scheme (a gamepad works best) helps players perform Urban Chaos 's wide range of combat and acrobatic maneuvers. Urban Chaos 's third-person graphics engine renders Union City with abundant detail: pedestrians wander sidewalks, leaves blow in the streets and cars obey current traffic laws. Full detail requires a top-of-the-line machine; however, you can adjust many elements of the graphics engine to achieve a playable frame rate on the minimum system requirements. -- Doug Radcliffe
