Still, never minding the M rating, I love this game. Still my most favorite game that I've ever played. Every time I play another action 3rd person game, I think of Urban Chaos and only and at the end of the game always go back to play it. The music is stunning, the plot is wicked, the characters are cool and develop through out the game, bad guys are...bad. Well, the graphics are in no comparison to Doom or the latest Tomb Raider games, but I, personally, don't give a sh!t about graphics if the game is exciting, mysterious and action packed like Urban Chaos. Besides, when I was younger, I thought this to be the game with best graphics in the world. Well, I soon saw that it obviously wasn't - but like I said before this is still my most favorite game of all times. Rating is 10 out of 10. I could give a 9 because of the graphics, but I won't - graphics are not important in my world and in this game. A must play.

This is a very good action game from late 1999. As suggested, the graphics aren't the best (let's consider though that it was made in 1999), and the storyline might border on supernatural, but it is really fun to play. You play most of the game as D'Arci, a rookie cop cleaning up the streets of Union City, a city loosely based on New York, at the turn of the millennium (1999/2000). You play a few stages as 'Roper' - a retired bomb squad expert and vigilante who comes in handy at times. He's not as fast on the beat as D'Arci, but he's much stronger. It's a typical cop game, you solve murders, crack cases, arrest a lot of wildcats (the local street gang), try to find evidence, and talk to witnesses for clues.

Of course, this all leads to the big picture, a corrupt mayoral candidate who wants non other than to make Union City his own. It also contains a very unique twist at the end of the game. There is nothing too special about it, but it has fun gameplay, is enjoyable, and at times can be humorous with the various quotes in the game.

For it's time, the gloomy streets, dark alleyways, fog, puddles, rain and mystic music all make the atmosphere of this game very impressive. I find this game would've been a great seller back when it was released (99/2000) had it been marketed better, but I still rate it very highly as I was lucky enough to come across it.

10/10

A very well made action-crime game with a good story and good gameplay. D'Arci and Roper are not really the perfect match but that doesn't take the game down. A must Play ! 8/10
