Good brutal fun.
By a customer from Cheltenham , 22 Jul 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Although this game doesn't really add anything new to the FPS genre it does do the job well. Anyone used to the genre will easily pick up the controls and find it an enjoyable experience. With some quite brutal death scenes that get the slow mo treatment if you have pulled off a particularly impressive move. It has a lot of blood, gore and bad language so be warned.
The single addition that adds quite an interesting slant on the game is the Riot shield which can be used to protect you from pretty much anything the enemy throw at you. Also you can move for better position, reload, aim (in a rough way) while shielding yourself, also if the enemy get too close you can batter them with the shield! Although this makes it sound like the game would be too easy it isn't. Quite often you are attacked from all angles so you have to keep your wits about you. Some of the leaders of the gangs are needed alive too.
Another addition to the standard fps fare is having to protect other members of the emergency services that help you in various ways throughout the levels. Firemen help break down doors, put out fires and carry wounded citizens. Paramedics help heal you (3 health packs per level) and other citizens that need help. Police officers and other T-Zero members help lay down covering fire for you. This is all done through an easy to get used to ordering system using the d-pad. However the AI is not the best and quite often you find them getting in your way and its easy enough to 'accidentally' shoot them.
Other features include hostage situations that need a bit more haste, less speed. Various level objectives that reward you with medals that unlock more weaponry. Capturing a gang leader alive unlocks an emergency level, bascially a tightly timed rescue mission that can be hairy.
Overall a really fun game that could have been so much more with the addition of a multiplayer mode that didnt use LAN or online capabilities. Well worth trying.- Was this review helpful to you?

Chaos can be such Fun
By Craig Abrahams from Basingstoke, England , 21 Mar 2007Point, shoot walk. Such a simple genre but tragically too many developers out there get it so wrong. Urban Choas should of fallen into the catagory of been there done that too many times before however it actually is rather a good play. Taking the roll of all action special cop Nick Mason, your mission is pretty simple. Get gun, shoot way through end of the level and then cap the end of level boss. However Urban Chaos provides so much more than that. You can gain medals which unlock weapons upgrades which in turn make levels even more fun. Also there levels have a pretty logical path to follow so you wont spend hours retracing your steps to find a hidden door to take you through to the next part of the level. The control interface makes the game fun without trying to be too creative. Graphics are normal at best and the audio isnt the most polished out there but with 4 different skill levels and over 150 medels to collect, you get a lot of longivety out of the game and with a shallow learning curve it allows gamers who normally dont go for TPS to enjoy the genre.
All in all, its a fun game, not the best but if its in the bargain bin or preowned for around a fifteen quid then you can do a lot worse than Urban Chaos- Was this review helpful to you?
