Psycho City

Being the only honest copper on the streets of New York is just no fun any more. Your job is to round up a load of stolen gear, and blow away a formidable cast of street scum. Bazookas and other weapons are cunningly hidden in "trashcans", but *be careful*, because some bins are booby-trapped, and muggers and hitmen hide in others, just waiting to leap out and stick yerwith their switchblades.

To be honest, this isn't the paragon of 3D arcade adventuring. The action is slow and tedious, the hoodlums are nigh on invincible and the sound is horrendous. Spend the money on War Machine instead.

Pretty poor arcade adventure, spoilt by slow and annoying gameplay.
