The story

To succeed you'll need a lethal combination of stealth, physical agility and martial art skills as you interact with the city around you. Complete freedom to explore every areas is granted and this freedom extends to gameplay - the future is in your hands as you are drawn into an underlying plot featuring a mysterious cult who are intent on evil at this unpredictable and potentially menacing millenium period.Key Features:2 playable main characters: D'arci Stern, an agile, street-savvy female cop or Roger McIntyre, a mysterious ex-soldier. Multiple modes of combat. Engage in hand-to-hand fighting, heavy weaponry face-offs, vehicle chases and intense shoot-outs. Command a variety of vehicles. Take control of police cars, vans and other vehicles.

What it’s like

Gritty late-nineties city grime: rain-slick asphalt, sodium streetlamps, dim interiors lit by flickering fluorescents, and a washed, slightly blocky 3D look typical of its era, with drab concrete towers and tinted winter dusk. The soundtrack leans on moody electronic pulses and urban ambience, with sirens and traffic filling the gaps, and the snow-dusted streets give the whole thing a cold, lonely feel. Vibe: bleak, brooding, a little rough around the edges, the kind of play session that suits a late night alone or a wet weekend with the lights off. Pacing is open and exploratory, letting you wander rooftops, alleys and car parks between bursts of brawling, gunfire and vehicle chases. Tone is tense and self-serious, with a cult conspiracy and a determined cop or enigmatic ex-soldier pushing through a city that feels hostile. Intensity is moderate to high: frequent hand-to-hand violence, gunfights, and crime themes, with hostage situations and dark menace, though no real gore emphasis. Best for players who enjoy sandbox freedom, old-school action, and a gritty, atmospheric city to explore.
