Urban Chaos Riot Response is Absolutely Insane

[@TheMC1102]

It's a real bummer that this game isn't available on PC or backwards compatible with newer consoles.

[@KB-du3rh]

It is a shame but at least there's emulation with a mouse injector if you wanted it with a more PC like experience

[@kyledodson2992]

It’s cheap on eBay

[@kobra6660]

I guarantee rocksteady doesn't even remember making this game if you asked them

[@slxxpyhollow]

I remember playing the demo of this on Hitman Blood Money. Man, I tell you if I saw "Eidos" on a game box back in the day, I was picking that game up. I miss all the unique FPS premises people would come up with in the older game generations.

[@marcusanark2541]

Same.

[@sjsabattis]

same, the demo on blood money was interesting. Then I forgot about it till years later.

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Eidos, Rare, Konami, Squaresoft, Apogee, Enix, Capcom, Rockstar, anything with the name Hideo Kojima stapled to it etc. Some of those marks of, at least at the time, near guaranteed quality, give or take a questionable decision here and there. I would play demos of Eidos games more than actual ones, Hitman 2 at the time being one, but they all just REEKED of quality and drive toward fun schüt game above all else.

[@nilpyc307]

[@mrlight0133]

same, good times^^ my cousin and i played the demo over and over again :D

[@justinbruce9808]

I vividly remember that if you spun your aiming controller stick in a circle, you’d twirl your pistol on your finger and your next headshot with the pistol would automatically do the slow mo cam

[@MrHammers]

I gotta try this out

[@MrHammers]

Update: This is correct, gonna upload a short!

[@7ens3nButt0n]

god i love how developers back then came up with these nonsense features that are just pure fun

[@ChrsGotFourEyes]

was looking for this comment

[@Nigel222]

The excessive violence makes sense when you see how violent they made Batman in the Arkham games.

[@kobra6660]

This game is basically if batman went on vacation

[@saren7283]

I didn't think you'd ever get to Urban Chaos: Riot Response, so happy you did! This game was one my all time favourites from that old grungy era of games, the excessive dialogue of the gang members, the way they non stop talk sh*t to the player using no end of F-bombs and calling them by name with their psychopath voice over delivery. It mad fun fighting these guys the whole game.

[@Gammaknife97]

Damn this brought back memories. My older Cousin was and still is a hardcore gamer and would always let me borrow a game whenever I seen him and he let me borrow this and I was hooked, one of my fav moments is when you're on the container level and one of the burners was hanging off of a crane, was so satisfying hitting a shot and watching him fall in slow motion. Great video!

[@madperrot]

Something about how this game moves along, reminds me of arcade games. Not just because I jump in and play for 20 min before doing other stuff. Its how the in game moments feel, you know what i mean? That partially on rails feeling.

[@querpmuerp]

100%

[@MrHammers]

Yeah I agree. Probably the short levels with the stats and medals given at the end

[@cooparchive7857]

​@@MrHammershold on : 7:00 are you muscle guy?

[@MrHammers]

I wish 😩

[@cooparchive7857]

@MrHammers I also wish I have money to go gym .

[@laurenalexander4438]

Damn shame this one never got a PC port. Horribly underrated.

[@vinniecorleone62]

You chose a genuine real gem here bud, one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures I still enjoy today! Reminds me of a first person "Manhunt" game with the numerous hard core street thugs! This game is also somewhat prophetic as crime in America is quickly ramping up to the levels of violence within this game ironically. I enjoy all my original Xbox games via my 2 modded original Xbox consoles via component cables for a crisp resolution on a older high end Samsung TV. Many seem to give up on playing a older game if it's not available to play on a PC, it's so easy to enjoy non backwards compatible Xbox & Xbox 360 games simply by using the original consoles which are plentiful & affordable.

[@madperrot]

Shit I didn't realize the prophetic part, but yeah I see it

[@JorganVonDangle]

I remember seeing the box art in game stores as a kid and wanted to play it so bad. alas. little kid me wasn't allowed M rated games so never got to.

[@MrHammers]

Definitely makes you pause and think about the current state of country after seeing the events is this game

[@mysteryman703]

violent cime is lower than its ever been and is down almost 10% from this time last year

[@amb2989]

YOU HAVE UNLOCKED: *AN EXTRA PISTOL CLIP*

[@viscountrainbows2857]

1:25 that Guy Fieri shirt is so indicative of the times, bagawd. Also much respect to you for taking the brunt of being a First Responder. If you aren't already familiar, I would recommend Fire Department Chronicles, a channel run by an EMS/firefighter who gives both useful advice, real life stories via skits, and just goofy skits about the life of being on the recieving end of a 911 call. Dude's brilliant, and I recommend anyone reading this comment give him a watch

[@tanburanbu]

That creepy bald guy? He looks and acts demonic as fuck. No thanks.

[@cosmicpanda7043]

When I was like 4 or 5, my father's roommate left his PS2 behind along with a handful of games when he moved out and this was one of them. Haven't seen anyone else talk about it since and it's a real shame. Thanks for covering it!

[@Baken-Beans-420PCGaming-fv8ew]

I remember playing this as a kid, and being terrified and thrilled at the same time, throughout the entire play through. The pure chaos of it all, the guys with cleavers in creepy masks. I loved it.

[@drewster876]

this was a banger on the ps2 super underrated sadly glad to see you covering this gem

[@zacheatsworld]

Man…the nostalgia is real. I remember wanting this game from watching an X-Play review on G4. Love your content!

[@FallouFitness_NattyEdition]

Ahhh, the good ole days of X-Play. That show is responsible for introducing me to so many great games on the PS2, such as Guilty Gear X2. I never saw their review on this game, though. It's too bad that Adam is a lunatic now.

[@zacheatsworld]

@@FallouFitness_NattyEdition Yeah man, great memories. Speaking of Adam, I remember at PAX 2016, I was leaving and heard someone go ham on G4. Looked behind me and saw it was Adam ☠️

[@Incrediblefatslug]

That's so cool that you work in healthcare services man. Have a newfound level of respect for you. That food really is sketchy tho

[@DasNordlicht91]

I gotta say, the text going from "incapacitated" to "barbequed" if you hold the taser on too long on an enemy is hilarious.

[@zackeryparkerson]

Good to see Rocksteady always had a thing for vision modes.

[@MrHammers]

Haha that's true! Smooth combat and different vision modes

[@tsycho1619]

i love that you put the House Building Theme from RDR2 in the sponsor part. Great video, as always! Would've forgotten about this game.

[@MrHammers]

That's my go to song during sponsors lmaooo

[@hazemabadi6104]

9:52 the taser could be used with the flashlight

[@simonwoods2169]

Fun fact: the time displayed on the Channel 7 News is the same time your console was displaying.

[@Nitro_Foundry]

Man I absolutely loved this game as a kid! Mr. Hammers is ALWAYS bringing that peak nostalgia! Much love 🙏🏼

[@RoguePlanetSounds]

Sick intro!! Felt like a dope beat was about to drop

[@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl]

Same

[@ArtKoval]

If you play this game on PCSX2, you can use Mouse Injector to aim with your mouse as if it was a PC game. It's way better than binding mouse movements to the right analog stick in controller settings.

[@mementomori771]

He played using a controller though

[@troyduncan3650]

The riot shield was the games strongest unique factor that had me hooked. I loved watching it take a serious beating throughout the story mission. I used to be able to line up headshot after headshot using the shield. The game was ahead of it's time.

[@ChrsGotFourEyes]

still have my copy! Fun fact: If u kill one of ur allies or if they die, the game pulls up their obituary with some somber music to get u emotionally invested which was a nice touch. simple yet effective

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

I misread this as Rockstars and thought there was a sequel to State of emergency I somehow missed

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Iirc there may have been, but it drifted into a direction not in like with the more arcade-y goofy madness of the original. If I edit this, you'll know for sure.

[@BlooTeg]

I still dream about this game

[@flippedoutkyrii]

The most mid-00's shooter ever made, featuring perhaps my favorite ridiculous enemy faction that is literally just Al-Qaeda Postal Workers. Never would have experienced this if my Grandma didn't pick it up for me graduating 8th grade because she thought It was something I would like judging from the cover. The games pretty brutal in hindsight where deaths to certain burner thugs will have them torture and play with Nick until he croaks, too. Even the escort missions feel empowering because your NPC buddies can easily hold their own, hell even the EMT can swing a KO punch and the Firefighters straight up go Jack Torrence on Burner asses! It's also got great pacing for the most part, with enemies lugging around Cleavers and Sawn-Offs before becoming fully militarized halfway through. The major problem I had is with the unlocks, as not only are older weapons locked out for you but unlocks infinite ammo that cannot be turned off making the game a cakewalk even on harder difficulties. But the worst offender is the pistol that goes from being a borderline air-soft handgun to becoming a literal WMD with the final unlock turning it into a god damned minigun. An absolute crime it never got a PC port. It's in the same boat as Black, Condemned 2, Bodycount and Cold Winter, permanently locked behind old tech that without a proper remaster, will never get a second wind.

[@MiniT2025]

Played this as a kid almost fifteen years ago, but I could never remember the name. Glad your video got recommended to me, those were good days.

[@noah3762]

That news reporter is cold blooded someone check on her 😂

[@joshuamason8992]

this game plus the game called black were so iconic to me, these games still hold up well enough to revisit today and i still love it

[@johnroyal4054]

Watch out for factor75. They have been hit with lawsuits over their auto resubcription. Also, they like to charge you for meals even if you try to skip a week and all of their customer service is handled by an Indian company that is extremely rude.

[@nope1083]

I played the demo for this game, I thought it was called Zero Tolerance so I couldn't find it until now.

[@MrHammers]

It was during development but they got sued by some other developer who had a game titled that

[@MyooZik000]

I always saw this game growing up for sale and in bargain bins and thought it looked like jank low budget baby game. Didn't know it was a full blown action extravaganza . Especially seeing it for sale at movie stores/GameStop's closing down for like 5 bucks

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Yeah sometimes it would be those games you got on the cheap, that were as good as all the Big Shelf titles for 40-50 at the time. They were just underestimated, not actually bad, but sometimes it was impossible to find out until you got home. for instance, I got Oni and Shaman King on PS2. I only bought Shaman King to see if I would get deeper into the anime/Manga. I didn't. Also I beat the game in like, 3 hours. And I couldn't go into versus mode unless I had a friend willing to play as well... so yeah 🍑💨 Oni was new to me but it was actually kinda fun at times. combat was dynamic and fluid, and a particular cheat code let you become any NPC in any given level for interesting play mechanics and takes on fights that were downright absurd in some instances and a power fantasy in others. Only problem was that the game's lighting was abysmal so if you were invincible and didn't make a certain jump, you were just stuck in Limbo and had to reload, and the game is very bad about telegraphing where you should go in more open areas. Other than that, I would recommend it highly as a janky little mid 00s treasure by Rockstar games attempting an anime game.

[@buddyscaglini]

Man I love you, bringing back memories I have long forgotten.

[@dano8941]

Great video been loving your content hope your channel grows brother!

[@Reacher_2215]

There needs to be a mod for this game that puts Antifa/BLM/rainbow-pride shirts on the enemy NPCs. I would praise this game forever

[@Fencer_Nowa]

Average police moment

[@preme5797]

Been thinking about this game but not remembering all the way the last 12 years many thanks for unlocking a memory

[@Mankey619]

Funny to see Rocksteady’s early game development career here. They went from making an FPS game, to making best selling DC licensed games. How they’ve evolved so much over the years.

[@MrHammers]

I agree, but with the quality of this game, it's no surprise they excelled in the Batman Games

[@communistwookiee4727]

My God I absolutely loved this game. I spent a couple weeks during summer vacation in 2008 or so getting all the medals. When you earn all of the medals your pistol was replaced with the minigun.

[@SasquatchOni]

Ahhhhhhhh yes yes yes. My older brother and I, a CD player with 50 Cent Get Rich Or Die Trying, and this game. All night after school until we finished it and moved on. Still sad there wasn’t ever a sequel, but this was one of those games where it was cool to even find the full game on a shelf. Demo was cool but the game was so unique it felt surreal.

[@LCp1RickIlls]

Are you gonna do Rockstar’s State Of Emergency? I feel like that’s in your wheelhouse of games you cover.

[@MrHammers]

Yeah, for sure. Definitely on my radar

[@eldonsolo]

Flashbacks! I loved this game so much as a kid. Thanks for bringing this back to my mind!

[@NuttinAMeanOne]

Wow this is a serious blast from the past. I completely forgot about this game.

[@aaron_exclusive]

Idk if anyone else would be interested in this but I’d love a video of simulators that you use to play some of these older games . Sometimes when I watch your videos I wanna play these games but there’s so many simulators out there , hard to know which ones are safe to use.

[@sukamadik5983]

I played this so much back in the day. It's deceptively good with fantastic replay value.

Still have this game on the ps2. Got it first day lol

[@dylan.t180]

Great review

[@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692]

The PS2 (or 6th gen in general really) was so amazing. We were spoiled for such a huge variety of great games back then without realising it. Nowadays most of those games might look a little rough around the edges. But the originality and innovation on display. And the interesting ways of experimenting with gameplay. And atmosphere they had to create and rely on to make up for technical limitations is timeless. Every game felt different and new. And to this day I discover new and interesting titles I never heard of. Even boring or generic titles. And many of the licenced games had more effort put into them and were better than they had any right to be. Ironically playing a new PS2 title for the first time often feels more fresh and exciting than playing a modern AAA title.

[@RSNTM3NT]

I got this game alongside the Reservoir Dogs game back in my PS2 days. It was quiet fun and enjoyable experience. I still play this through Emulation and still talked about this with my mates. It never got a remaster, after the IP went nowhere following Eidos acquisition with Square Enix.

[@MrHammers]

Now the reservoir dogs game, that was an interesting title

I don't need to watch the entire video right away to leave a comment talking about how insanely brilliant this game was. I got this when it was released thinking it had something to do with the other Urban Chaos. Never the less it has Over the top action, a progress system that encouraged you to use different guns, different scenarios in the levels. Anyway going to watch now and it would be great if a game like this was made today.

This is a great game, really well made for how simple it is - they stuck rigidly to the concept and just polished everything perfectly. Always reminds me of World's Scariest Police Chases in that regard - just a simple concept taken seriously with the hardware at the time.
