In a dystopian world that combines a dark underworld and elements of the fantastic, the player is required to infiltrate the gangs of Paradise City on behalf of a powerful government agency that, despite its influence, has been unable to introduce even a glimmer of law and order to this horribly corrupt city. In an intertwining chapter-driven story, the player takes turns controlling one of three gritty characters that, for their own reason, have "volunteered" to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the controlling crime syndicate's power. The player's characters becomes more powerful as they claw their way up the echelons of the underworld and as their individual stories begin to overlap. As the player's influence on the city grows, the businesses, the payoffs and the number of confrontations with rival gangs enables the player to gain experience and become powerful enough to take control of the city piece by piece. After becoming a underworld force to be reckoned with, the player discovers that the gang wars have been masterminded by a secret society, at the head of which are a coterie of terrifyingly dangerous and powerful figures that, it seems, no bullet will stop.

    Escape from Paradise City thrusts players into a dynamic gaming experience they won't soon forget. Some story elements may feel too common or even cliché at times, yet the high level of play control, enthralling locations, superb visual detail, and role-playing elements are some of the best we've seen lately. On the whole, the game knocks you to the curb, kicks you in the teeth, and makes you love every second of it. It's violent, sexy, and highly recommended.

    Far from being a bad game, Escape From Paradise City shows ambition and qualities to some extent, possibly more than would be recommended for the limited and tedious design.

    A fun, if limited, game. Escape from Paradise City offers up something interesting for the role-playing gamer looking for a title that is a little bit different.

    Escape from Paradise City tries to bring the RTS and RPG together, but a breakdown in the marriage is caused by a poor interface, lousy AI and a lack of gameplay balance.

    You won’t need to escape Paradise City if you don’t bother going there in the first place.

    The potential existed here for a good game, yet it's been squandered due to poor mission structure and downright bad cooperative intelligence.
