I must have been drunk when I made the guys that designed this game, nya.
On paper, it's a great game, nya. You play a rookie cop, who happens to be one of the few female leads that isn't either improperly proportioned or dresses like a whore, named D'arci Stern, nya. You beat up/arrest criminals, especially the gang members that plague the city, nya. Standard, right, nya? Within the missions are sidequests that you could choose to take for great rewards, and you can even take a citizen's car or cruise in your own (you are, after all, a cop), nya. No stupid puzzles or anything, nya. Great, right, nya?
Wrong, nya. Some missions are ridiculous to impossible, nya. For instance, you might have to sneak up to some baddies and arrest them, nya. Well, they happen to be in the middle of an alley, nya. There's a crawling stealth technique you could use to jump them, but in actuality it's just moving slower to certain death, nya. Enemies seem to know where you are if you get within ten feet of them, no matter what, nya. How did I beat that mission, nya? I didn't; I got their attention by slowly walking to the corner where they couldn't POSSIBLY see me, then I ran to a nearby parked car and ran them over, nya. The chaotic camera and horrible, horrible music didn't help, nya.
What I consider to be the worst part of all is that the mildly interesting story of a city slowly being taken over by a rapidly growing gang is made worse by going into mysticism, nya. Yep, there just HAD to be a demonic cult behind things, nya. And with demonic cults come impossible-to-defeat-normally enemies that take probably thirty rounds from a machine gun to die, but only need a few shots of their own to kill you, nya. There's also a demon, nya.
That's about all I'm willing to say about this game, nya. Stay away from it, nya. I don't care if interesting new games with the same name from the same company are coming out; don't you dare buy this game, nya. Maybe the PC version, but certainly not this PS1 torture device (er, I mean "game"), nya.
