    Some will take Urban Chaos at face value and feel good inside with the game's many nods at the every day heroes of Americatown, USA. Others will take in the game's blatant sensationalism and wonder if it's not-so-subtle satire. Regardless, Urban Chaos: Riot Response is lots of fun, and merits a look from anyone who enjoys shooters.

    A wonderful, must-play action game.

    The game never advances the genre, but its use of a protective riot shield, one that progressively takes damage to the point where it's almost impossible to see through, is certainly a nice touch. [July 2006, p.72]

    It’s not the best FPS ever made, but it is one of the more action-packed and genuinely interesting titles to come out in recent memory.

    The graphics are surprisingly impressive, movement is smooth and, despite the occasional feeling of repetition, the action is constantly fast-paced and compelling. [June 2006, p.118]

    OK, so it doesn’t do anything revelational or new but at least it does it reasonably well in providing an intense and enjoyable experience. If the idea of playing a modern day Rambo and engaging in mass terrorist genocide, this game has something for you.

    If you need a simple gunplay fix this could maybe see you through a weekend... [July 2006, p.92]

    Definitely one of my favourite all time games.
    Playing as a law enforcement for once was quite the refreshment. Story may not be the best,    Definitely one of my favourite all time games.

    I love this game - because it's a 'game', not trying to be an 'experience'. It's packed with collectibles and I love this game - because it's a 'game', not trying to be an 'experience'. It's packed with collectibles and that gives an infuriatingly addictive feel. I don't get why people think it doesn't look that hot - I think these reviewers must be looking at too many Xbox 360 games in between their PS2 sessions.… Expand

    7,4/10
    Unexpectedly cool and maybe best shooter for Playstation 2, comfortable controls, convenient to shoot/take cover/brutal hit with a    7,4/10
    Unexpectedly cool and maybe best shooter for Playstation 2, comfortable controls, convenient to shoot/take cover/brutal hit with a shield, you can arrest with a taser, you can throw Axes/Molotov cocktails, normal graphics, in turn with shooting levels there will be - "burning buildings" levels, where will the fireman help us, a real forgotten gem, but, unfortunately, simplest plot/characters and locations that get boring by the middle of the game.
    p.s. fun fact that it could be a sequel to "Urban Chaos" 1999, which was also published by Eidos Interactive, but there is no connection between the games.

    Неожиданно крутой и, наверное, лучший шутер для Playstation 2, удобное управление, удобно стрелять/укрываться/брутально бить щитом, можно арестовывать тазером, можно кидать топоры/коктейли Молотова, нормальная графика, в очереди с перестрелочными уровнями - будут уровни "горящие здания", где нам будет помогать пожарный, настоящая забытая жемчужина, но, к сожалению, простейший сюжет/персонажи, и, локации, которые к середине игры надоедают.
    p.s. Забавный факт, что это может быть сиквелом "Urban Chaos" 1999 года, который также был издан Eidos Interactive, но связи между играми нет.    … Expand

Response is such an underrated game, it’s got a great story with amazing gameplay sadly, though it does have some pretty forgettable characters, but the side missions are pretty good, and almost on par with call of duty black ops 2 side missions I will say though this game is incredibly difficult even on the normal difficulty. It’s still hard and you will die a number of times, also, this game looks really outdated and it hasn’t aged very well, but overall this game is not half bad and if you ever come across this game, give it a shot.
    I’m giving urban chaos riot response a 8.5/10

    Great gameplay.
    Good story.
    A real blast to play.

    The bad.
    Forgettable characters.

The very first game developed by Rocksteady, the studio that went on to make the Batman Arkham Trilogy. Even for it's time, Urban Chaos is a mostly polished and enjoyable experience, despite the graphics looking very poor by today's standards. Though I will personally not buy this game, feel free to get it if you are a massive Rocksteady fan.… Expand
