    The controls are quite responsive, offering a wide assortment of combat moves, but the weak camera hinders them.

    The narrative is a bit thin-there's a new drug on the street called "Liquid Soul" and your task is to figure out where it's coming from-but once the fists and lead start flying, you won't really give a damn why you're doing what you're doing.

    The key phrase with NARC would seem to be "wasted potential."

    It wants so badly to be liked and allows you to break the rules like a good, over-the-top game really should. But it has flaws within its presentation, and it doesn't really keep your attention for long as you bust dealer after dealer.

    Quite simply a short and boring third person shooter that tries too hard to be edgy and just comes off as more sick and disgusting than anything else I've played.

    The game looks ugly, the controls are poorly done, and the storyline gets dull in a hurry. There is some decent action here and there, but quite frankly the game is so bad it smells worse then bad weed.

    When a modern day Xbox game can't humble a 17 year-old arcade game, you know something has gone horribly wrong.

    Not bad, like GTA without the vehicles and belive it or not more vulgar and just nasty.

    This could have been a good game but it's not. I regret forcing myself to finish it. At times it was fun and definitely worth the like fiveThis could have been a good game but it's not. I regret forcing myself to finish it. At times it was fun and definitely worth the like five bucks I spent on it but holy **** was it painful to finish and it froze not once not twice but ****ing three times the last time on the credits. NPCs popped in and out of existence and some mechanics just didn't even work and the story was soooo bad to the point that I feel like this is one of those games the developer didn't expect many people to finish all the way to the end. OMG THANK YOU, TO MY FRIEND WHO SUFFERED WITH ME!
