Get down on the streets and make them safe for Mr and Mrs Ordinary in this rough and tumble struggle against the thugs.

Keep your head as they come at you, in twos and threes, armed to the teeth with flick-knives, chains, baseball bats and chainsaws. You name it, they've got it and what have you got? Your trusty fists and feet.

Unfair odds you may think. Well, take some time to master the moves and you'll soon find that luck favours the brave.

The scenario is excellent, with lots of unpleasant surprises, like plague carrying rats, to keep you on your toes. Watch out for Ricky 'Death Star' Chang in his fork lift - he means you no good at all.

It's a tough game and you'll need to be quick to survive in your bid to rid the streets of Manhattan of criminal vermin, but for sheer playability, it's well worth dying for the cause.
