 Great Game September 6, 2008
Langdon Ulder (England)
Urban Chaos Riot Response is a really good game. The game has good graphics, good story, great levels and weapons. Nothing like playing this game after a hard day at school or college, shooting all the gang members is a great stress releiver.
Definatly worth it November 25, 2007

This game reminds me a lot of of older games like Quake and Alien vs Predator, it may just be the first person view, I dunno. Personaly I'm not one for 1st person games, I much prefere being able to see my character but it doesn't seem to alter my enjoyment of this game what so ever. There is a great amount of interaction within gameplay making it more enjoyable, from blowing up gas canisters to shooting out light bulbs.
This game is great if you like things with a lot of gore and an excessive amount of upgrade possibilities. It is extremely violent and your weapons and armor are allways upgrading. There is also that wonderful thing where if you shoot sombody in the face, theyre dead... shoot them in the leg, they're not... I love that haha!
Downfalls to this game though is in its simplicity of characters and its lack of saving points. There are three main "bad guys" The normal ones, the ones with yellow masks (these people blow you up) and the Leaders. Personaly I like a lot of viariation in characters and this game doesn't offer that unfortunatly. The other downfall is you can't save during gameplay, you can only save after missions. There are lots of checkpoints in which you can go back to if you die but theres no turning off the console. The truth is, you need to have time to play this game, don't switch it on if your going to work in 15 minuits...... You WILL be late.
This game is generaly really good, bloody fun. Definatly worth the buy whether your an experianced gameplayer or just like to shoot people in the face......
A decent FPS July 27, 2006

Firstly if you buy this game and it is unsealed, don't worry, it's meant to be unsealed, for some reason Eidos games tend to remain unsealed.
The story is you are Nick Mason a one man army for T-Zero (there are other members, but it's all about Nick Mason) in what is a typical saccharin sweet American game. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, it's just a bit stereotypical to say the least. You have to take down the Burner gang that is destroying the city. Cue lots of violence, swearing and extremely irritating taunts the most annoying being the Burners that shout "Die Mason" as if they are singing it (just listen to the way they say it and hold the word 'die' for a few moments). Alot of the others sound like they are shouting playground taunts. Generally the Burners are just annoying, but the one that is a bit creepy is the one that slices you with a chainsaw, it's not helped by the Jason Voorheesesque masks they all wear, they add to the faceless creepiness they all have.
The sound is good and clear, the graphics are quite bright, but nothing spectacular. The gameplay is easy to master and the weapons are excellent, especially the upgraded taser, giving you the option to incapacitate them or fry them. What is annoying about this game is allies walking in front of your guns while you are shooting the enemy and having to rescue civilians with a time limit. Not to mention having to be accompanied on certain missions can be annoying as they tend to attract the enemies firepower, even though the ally is essential for that particular mission.
Elements of this game reminded me of XIII, which is a good thing.
Replay value is most definitely there, as you can achieve more medals resulting in upgrades for existing weapons or sometimes new weapons, new modes, armour, new levels, etc. Plus you can replay the levels to achieve better results, such as incapacitating 30 Burners or getting 30 (or 40) headshots and so on.
I also meant to say the shield is a great weapon able to stave off immense firepower or enabling you to approach the enemy for a brutal kill.
Overall I did really like this game as the senseless bit of fun it is, and my quibbles with the game are quite minor and don't detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
Recommended.
Urban Chaos: Riot Response is a fairly unremarkable shooter in most respects, but it packs a lot of fun into its simple design. July 9, 2006

The Good: Gruesomely gratifying combat; more than 15 missions and 200 special-achievement medals to unlock; riot-shield mechanic works well without making the game too easy.
The Bad: Scripted artificial intelligence is very predictable; friendly characters often get in your way or get stuck trying to follow you.
It went through three different names in its development, but Urban Chaos: Riot Response is a fitting name for this action-packed first-person shooter. Not to be confused with the third-person action game that appeared on the PC, Dreamcast, and PlayStation some years back, this Urban Chaos is an extremely violent and entertaining take on the familiar cops-versus-criminals themed first-person shooter. It's campy in its excess, but if you're just looking for some fast-paced, mindless shooting, you can't go wrong with Urban Chaos.
You are ex-Marine Nick Mason, a tough-as-nails officer in the newly formed T-Zero elite police force. T-Zero stands for "zero tolerance," which is right in line with the no-nonsense tactics employed by the officers in this controversial police force. The force has been assembled to address the increasing gang violence in the no-name city in which the game takes place. It seems that a brutal gang of terrorists known as The Burners has essentially turned the city into a war zone, burning just about everything and everyone in sight. It's up to T-Zero, and you specifically, to take back the streets using whatever means necessary
There are more than 15 missions in the single-player campaign in Urban Chaos. More than half of those are basic story missions that require you to do things like kill a lot of enemies, arrest gang leaders, save hostages, and escort emergency workers through danger zones. There are also emergency missions that you can unlock by arresting and interrogating gang leaders.
Occasionally, you have to team up with emergency workers to rescue civilians, operate machinery, and so on. You don't directly control these workers, but you can easily issue commands using the D pad. The workers follow behind you and usually stay out of the way, but they do occasionally get stuck in tight areas or get in your way as you try to move. Each emergency worker has special abilities that are required to complete various missions. Firefighters can chop down locked doors, extinguish fires, and carry people from burning buildings.
Fortunately, as a T-Zero officer you're always well equipped to handle just about everything The Burners can throw at you. The most important piece of equipment you'll have is a riot shield. This shield can stand up to just about anything, from magnum rounds to rockets. You can hold the shield up and slowly creep forward, which is a great way to establish position in a firefight. You can also get up close to an enemy and use the shield to rearrange his face. Since you can't fire your weapons while holding up your shield, you'll quickly settle into a pattern of letting an enemy shoot the shield a few times, then returning fire while he reloads his weapon
In addition to the riot shield, you can use a wide variety of guns and explosives. You start out with a pistol, which is the most versatile and useful weapon in the game. The pistol comes with a ton of ammo, has a quick rate of fire, and is so accurate you'll often end up using it like you would a sniper rifle. That accuracy means that you can use the pistol to really start racking up the head shots, and it isn't uncommon to get 30 or more headshots in a single level
A big part of what makes the gunplay fun in Urban Chaos is the fast, visceral thrill that comes from blasting dozens and dozens of hockey-mask-wearing psychos. An enemy will curse your mother and then charge you and try to sink a rusty cleaver into your skull, which is exciting enough. But then when you turn on him at the last second and blast him in the face and watch his head disappear (in superslow motion, of course), it's quite gratifying in a depraved sort of way. Most of the enemies you face won't take more than a couple shots to put down, so the game compensates by throwing tons of enemies at you.
There are nine maps to choose from, each with a different objective based on whether you're playing on the side of The Burners or T-Zero. The goals are simple, like controlling a specific point on the map or defending a truck for a specific amount of time. Each time you respawn you can choose a weapon to use, and each team has a unique arsenal. Although The Burners and the T-Zero officers play very differently, the game doesn't feel unbalanced.
The gritty, dark presentation of Urban Chaos matches the violent theme of the game. The enemies wear blood-spattered hockey masks and shout all kinds of obscenities, and they all look and sound appropriately menacing. The shouted expletives do lose some effect over time though, because you'll hear the same few phrases repeated throughout the game. Most of the levels take place in burning buildings or deserted streets, but you'll also get to visit more pleasant locales such as sewers and subway tunnels. Despite the fact that there's always a lot of explosions and chaos going on, the frame rate is fairly steady most of the time.
Urban Chaos: Riot Response is a simple but satisfying take on the first-person shooter. It doesn't get bogged down in realism, tactics, or story. Instead, it just gives you a lot of great weapons and a ton of enemies to shoot. The game's twisted sense of humor and tendency toward overindulgence make it that much more enjoyable. If you're looking for a fun, pick-up-and-play shooter, and don't mind a lot of senseless brutality, Urban Chaos is the game for you.
