As the millennium ends, cities are overrun with apocalyptic violence. Is this due to urban frustrations or a sinister cult controlling everyone? You can play as either cop D'Arcy Stern or former soldier Roper McIntyre, and have to find the answers, but more importantly put a stop to the carnage.
The game involves a succession of action-packed non-linear missions. The environment incorporates shadows, rain, fog, and a day/night cycle. Police cars, motorcycles, and ambulances must be controlled during some missions. There are many ways to 'settle' the enemies - car chases, hand-to-hand combats, and action movie-style shootouts for example.
