As the millenium draws to a close, a malevolent cult of the Fallen lurks in the shadows and sewers of Union City...waiting. Their unholy mission is to fulfill an ancient prophecy of apocalypse. Crime and subversion are their tools to wrest control of the city. Now gangas, hardened criminals, and violent cultists roam the streets looking for trouble to cause. As D’Arci Stern, a tough as nails UCPD rookie cop, you use her martial arts prowess and infiltration skills to unlock the diabolical intentions of the Fallen cult. Her only ally in an unfair fight against criminality is Roper, UCPD informant and ex-Special Forces grunt. Obsessively driven to purge the world of the Fallen menace, Roper speaks softly but carries a big shotgun.
Urban Chaos throws you feet first into the cold, corrupt heart of a modern urban jungle at the turn of the millenium. To succeed you’ll need a deadly combination of stealth, physical agility, and martial arts skills as you interact with the city around you. Complete freedom to explore every area is granted and this freedom extends to gameplay - the future is in your hands as you fight to reclaim your city from the madness of the Fallen cult.
Interact with a vast living city teeming with citizens - you can choose to assist NPC's to gain both information and new weapons.
Multiple modes of combat and action including hand-to-hand fighting, heavy weaponry attacks, vehicle chases and building shoot-outs.
Each street has random event scripting. For one mission, a street may be filled with holiday shoppers. For the next mission, a major gun battle between cops and a gang might be in full swing.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This game is pure late 90s yank, of course graphics are dated, everything is a cube or a pyramid, the main character looks like a stick figure with noodle arms, story is full action hero silliness with the usual 2000 apócalypse (I love it), music is fitting for the era, draw distance is low and levels are semi open platformig challenges while you hunt for the objective and secret collectibles to improve your stats.
Most of the ingredients to have fun are here, but then there are the controls.
Oh dear gods, the controls are horrendous, stiff, unresponsive, with tank controls, and nonsensical button combinations for different commands. Saying it takes a while to get used to them is an understatement.
Don't bother using a controller, even if you use a stick you are stuck with the tank scheme (no dualstick support) and the sideways rotation is too sensitive as it comes. I had to use a controller wrapper to emulate keyboard strokes with the controller to get a bearable turn speed.
But it gets worse, controlling vehicles is a nightmare, you cannot speed up and turn at the same time, trying to drive around corners is a challenge all on itself and apparently cars are held together by their painting because they take damage by just grazing a wall or a fence.
This is a game that deserves a modernization. it would be fun to play if the controls didn't get on the way of everything else.
Also, it can be run on widescreen, but it requires a third party patch you can find in the pcgamingwiki.
Urban Chaos! Has been years since me and my pals play it in a forgotten pc during my middle school's hours and, thanks to GoG, I managed to enjoy it again... and with a more seasoned viewpoint, it's an ok game.
Basically, it could be considered as a precursor of GTA (III, so the first 3d one) but divided in mission, so the dev. could use the same map but change it depending on the need.
Speaking about gameplay, it does have those lovely 'tank' controls (which unironically, are a favourite of mine) and some section where you can drive around using cars, but as for the rest, is dead simple: run, fight, shoot, kill (or arrest, you are still technically a cop).
Besides that, story starts slow paced (a little too much) and with some unexpected (but not necessarily unwanted) twist, while soundtrack is mostly on point and graphics did age badly but still hold some charm to them.
So, is the game worth it? mmmm yes, but I admit that the game does overstay its welcome and it is not that well-polished. But it does also have that 90's vibe so you can give it a pass.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
