Urban Chaos throws you into the heart of the modern urban jungle.

Posted by Staff
The game re-creates the dark and menacing environment of our inner city nightmares. Not just a hack or blast-fest, to succeed in Urban Chaos you'll need a lethal combination of menacing stealth, physical agility and martial arts skills.

The game features beat-em-up, shoot-em-up and platform gameplay elements in a 3D scaleable, rotatable city. An advanced 3D engine allows multiple character combat and scenery interaction: use in-game objects as weapons, smash and leap through windows, fight your way up fire escapes, jump from balconies onto enemies below.

Urban Chaos is set in the fictitious Union City at the end of 1999. Nostradamus' prediction for Armageddon is becoming reality and the planet is in turmoil. A cult named The Millennium Cult believes in his prediction that a great evil will return to the world and rule once more. The Cult's followers, known as The Fallen, are preparing for his homecoming.

Your mission is to defeat the Cult and save the world. To do this, there are two characters at your disposal: D'arci Stern, an agile, street-savvy female cop and Roper McIntyre, a mysterious ex-soldier- experienced, jaded and a little slower on his feet.

You must interact with the city around you, picking up clues from civilians and continuing with the duties of a modern-day cop. As you progress, you are drawn into an underlying plot of cult, myth and magic.

You have complete freedom to explore every area of Union City, from buildings and rooftops down to the sewers. You can ride on the subway, steal motorbikes and use a hang-glider. This freedom extends to the gameplay -there is no one way to complete a mission.

Features:
Mission based action with an involving storyline. The strong plot draws the player in and gives them the opportunity to overcome its outcome any way they desire.
Union City is "alive" with citizens who interact with the main characters. You can choose to assist non-player characters (NPCs) with both information and new weapons. There are over forty unique NPCs to interact with.
Dynamic and intelligent camera system that changes in focal length and angle to suit the context of your actions.
Multiple modes of combat-action. You can engage in hand-to-hand fighting, heavy weaponry face-offs, vehicle chases and building shoot-outs.
Ability to command a variety of vehicles. You can take control of police cars, vans, motorbikes, hang-gliders, ambulances, trains and helicopters.
Groundbreaking graphics engine. The atmosphere and action in the game is enhanced with 3D volumetric fog, rain, snow, night and day simulation, wall-hugging shadows and real-time simulation of crashes.
Soundtrack provided by: Way Out West, the 3 Jays, Audio Active and Asian Dub Foundation, Tour De Force, Photek, and Infidels.
