I guarantee rocksteady doesn't even remember making this game if you asked them

I remember playing the demo of this on Hitman Blood Money. Man, I tell you if I saw "Eidos" on a game box back in the day, I was picking that game up. I miss all the unique FPS premises people would come up with in the older game generations.

Eidos, Rare, Konami, Squaresoft, Apogee, Enix, Capcom, Rockstar, anything with the name Hideo Kojima stapled to it etc. Some of those marks of, at least at the time, near guaranteed quality, give or take a questionable decision here and there. I would play demos of Eidos games more than actual ones, Hitman 2 at the time being one, but they all just REEKED of quality and drive toward fun schüt game above all else.

I didn't think you'd ever get to Urban Chaos: Riot Response, so happy you did! This game was one my all time favourites from that old grungy era of games, the excessive dialogue of the gang members, the way they non stop talk sh*t to the player using no end of F-bombs and calling them by name with their psychopath voice over delivery. It mad fun fighting these guys the whole game.

The excessive violence makes sense when you see how violent they made Batman in the Arkham games.

Damn this brought back memories. My older Cousin was and still is a hardcore gamer and would always let me borrow a game whenever I seen him and he let me borrow this and I was hooked, one of my fav moments is when you're on the container level and one of the burners was hanging off of a crane, was so satisfying hitting a shot and watching him fall in slow motion. Great video!

Something about how this game moves along, reminds me of arcade games. Not just because I jump in and play for 20 min before doing other stuff. Its how the in game moments feel, you know what i mean? That partially on rails feeling.

That creepy bald guy? He looks and acts demonic as fuck. No thanks.

When I was like 4 or 5, my father's roommate left his PS2 behind along with a handful of games when he moved out and this was one of them. Haven't seen anyone else talk about it since and it's a real shame. Thanks for covering it!

Damn shame this one never got a PC port. Horribly underrated.

I gotta say, the text going from "incapacitated" to "barbequed" if you hold the taser on too long on an enemy is hilarious.

You chose a genuine real gem here bud, one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures I still enjoy today! Reminds me of a first person "Manhunt" game with the numerous hard core street thugs! This game is also somewhat prophetic as crime in America is quickly ramping up to the levels of violence within this game ironically. I enjoy all my original Xbox games via my 2 modded original Xbox consoles via component cables for a crisp resolution on a older high end Samsung TV. Many seem to give up on playing a older game if it's not available to play on a PC, it's so easy to enjoy non backwards compatible Xbox & Xbox 360 games simply by using the original consoles which are plentiful & affordable.

If you play this game on PCSX2, you can use Mouse Injector to aim with your mouse as if it was a PC game. It's way better than binding mouse movements to the right analog stick in controller settings.

Idk if anyone else would be interested in this but I’d love a video of simulators that you use to play some of these older games . Sometimes when I watch your videos I wanna play these games but there’s so many simulators out there , hard to know which ones are safe to use.

Still got this foe my OG Xbox. Probably going to play it later

My God I absolutely loved this game. I spent a couple weeks during summer vacation in 2008 or so getting all the medals. When you earn all of the medals your pistol was replaced with the minigun.

Ahhhhhhhh yes yes yes. My older brother and I, a CD player with 50 Cent Get Rich Or Die Trying, and this game. All night after school until we finished it and moved on. Still sad there wasn’t ever a sequel, but this was one of those games where it was cool to even find the full game on a shelf. Demo was cool but the game was so unique it felt surreal.

9:52 the taser could be used with the flashlight

Intro goes CRAZY

Goddamn I love your channel. Keep it up man.

You work 3rd shift? I tried that once, got caught sleeping a few times lmao 11:23 you could do this same thing with the tazor in Syphon Filter on PS1. I wonder if they were inspired by that?

I remember playing the demo on a hitman blood money disc as well! it was a lot of fun.

The riot shield was the games strongest unique factor that had me hooked. I loved watching it take a serious beating throughout the story mission. I used to be able to line up headshot after headshot using the shield. The game was ahead of it's time.

The most mid-00's shooter ever made, featuring perhaps my favorite ridiculous enemy faction that is literally just Al-Qaeda Postal Workers. Never would have experienced this if my Grandma didn't pick it up for me graduating 8th grade because she thought It was something I would like judging from the cover. The games pretty brutal in hindsight where deaths to certain burner thugs will have them torture and play with Nick until he croaks, too. Even the escort missions feel empowering because your NPC buddies can easily hold their own, hell even the EMT can swing a KO punch and the Firefighters straight up go Jack Torrence on Burner asses! It's also got great pacing for the most part, with enemies lugging around Cleavers and Sawn-Offs before becoming fully militarized halfway through. The major problem I had is with the unlocks, as not only are older weapons locked out for you but unlocks infinite ammo that cannot be turned off making the game a cakewalk even on harder difficulties. But the worst offender is the pistol that goes from being a borderline air-soft handgun to becoming a literal WMD with the final unlock turning it into a god damned minigun. An absolute crime it never got a PC port. It's in the same boat as Black, Condemned 2, Bodycount and Cold Winter, permanently locked behind old tech that without a proper remaster, will never get a second wind.

Id love a remaster of this

The PS2 (or 6th gen in general really) was so amazing. We were spoiled for such a huge variety of great games back then without realising it. Nowadays most of those games might look a little rough around the edges. But the originality and innovation on display. And the interesting ways of experimenting with gameplay. And atmosphere they had to create and rely on to make up for technical limitations is timeless. Every game felt different and new. And to this day I discover new and interesting titles I never heard of. Even boring or generic titles. And many of the licenced games had more effort put into them and were better than they had any right to be. Ironically playing a new PS2 title for the first time often feels more fresh and exciting than playing a modern AAA title.

I thought this was the Urban Assult game . It’s like you play the opposite side where you go throwin Molotovs in a mall…. Good times
