Rather simple split-screen cop shoot-'em-up with reasonably interesting platformy bits. Read Review
Marlon Raffia, head of one of New York's largest crime syndicates, is back in town. The resultant crime wave is the biggest in living memory. Evidence is being collected but vital witnesses have been abducted and it is feared that Marlon Raffia will escape to the safety of his native Sicily before he can be brought to justice. You have just 48 hours in which to collect the vital photographic evidence of his involvement. Only then can he be confronted in the final showdown.
The photographic evidence that you need has been cut into four pieces. Although you may be able to find the photograph on your own, you will find it easier if you free the witnesses first as they know the whereabouts of each of the pieces.
The witnesses are being held captive in the vast underground sewer system that runs beneath the streets of New York. On freeing each witness in turn, an arrow will appear on the screen showing you where the evidence can be found.
When you have located all four parts of the photograph, the fifth witness will show you where Marlon Raffia is hiding. Only then can you confront him for the final showdown.
At the start of each game you are given a case of bullets and four bullet-proof vests. Each vest will protect you from three hits. More ammunition and replacement bullet-proof vests can be obtained by returning to your squad car and pushing up on your joystick (Keyboard-Q).
You have only 48 hours to rid the city of this violent criminal and his murderous hit-men - and your time starts *now*.
