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
