To Do List =============================================================================== I. Introduction =============================================================================== Well, welcome to my walkthrough for Urban Chaos on the Dreamcast. This is my second FAQ I've written (CJayC didn't post the other one, too many of them), and well, it's gonna reek. Not as bad as my Mortal Kombat II guide, but still, in the world of FAQ writing, I guess I am a newbie (being a reviewer). What in the world made me do a FAQ for a game that is meant to be so bad as this one? You tell me, I'm still trying to figure that out. This game was high on the request list, and I had a copy sitting around. Why'd I buy it? It sounded cool. Do I regret this? Nah, I found it pretty cheap. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= i. Plot Analysis =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= So what's this sorry excuse for a game all about? Well the website says: 'The plot revolves around the end of the millennium, as predictions for Armageddon become more than mere fantasy. It is a mission based action adventure starring two characters on a mission to prevent predictions made by famed prognosticator Nostradamus from coming true. It is set in a turbulent futuristic cityscape and includes a female lead character as well as a male lead character.' You take the role of D'Arci Stern, a tough rookie cop. Later on in the game, you will control the mysterious soldier, Roper McIntyre. Oooh, sounds mysterious. Here's a little Game Information: Game Name: Urban Chaos System: Sega Dreamcast Publisher: EIDOS Interactive Year: 2000 Players: 1 Other: Also on PC and Playstation =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ii. Game Features =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Urban Chaos throws you into the heart of a modern urban jungle at the turn of the millennium. To succeed you’ll need a lethal combination of stealth, physical agility and martial arts skills as you interact with the city around you. Complete freedom to explore every area is granted and this freedom extends to gameplay – the future is in your hands as you are drawn into an underlying plot featuring a mysterious cult, who are intent on evil at this unpredictable and potentially menacing millennium period. (taken from website) - Play 1 of 2 main characters – D’arci Stern – an agile street-savvy female cop and Roper McIntyre – a mysterious ex-soldier. - Multiple modes of combat. You can engage in hand-to-hand fighting, heavy-weaponry face-offs, vehicle chases and building shoot-outs. - Command a variety of vehicles. You can take control of police cars, vans, motor-bikes, hang-gliders, ambulances, trains and helicopters. - 3D volumetric fog, rain, snow, night and day simulation, wall-hugging shadows and real-time simulation of crashes enhance the atmosphere and action of the game. =============================================================================== II. Version History =============================================================================== Version 1.0 (NA/NA/NA) - FAQ started on Thursday, 26th of July, 2001. First version. Version 1.0a (07/31/01) - ASCII Art changed. Guide started. Version 1.01 (09/06/01) - It's been way too long since I have done anything. Physical Training walkthrough done, Control added, About the Author added, format changed a little. =============================================================================== III. Control =============================================================================== Please Note: This section is not yet fully complete, as there are some aspects of the game I have not yer seen for myself. Expect more to appear as I progress through the game. ********************** **Controlling D'Arci** ********************** D'Arci is the first character you will control in Urban Chaos. She is a real pain in the arse to control too, it's not her fault though, it's EIDOS' fault. Blame them. Analog Stick - Moves D'Arci around Left Trigger - Kick Right Trigger - Punch A Button - Action Key X Button - No Function Y Button - Jump B Button - Select Weapon Start Button - Pause the game Of course, as I move through the game, I'll present all the various combos and special moves that D'Arci is capable of. ************************ **Controlling Vehicles** ************************ During the game, there will be points where you have to, or can opt to, control a vehicle. So far, I have seen Police Cars and Trucks. Thanks to EIDOS' crap control method, controlling a car is too damn difficult. A Button - Get in/out L Trigger - No Function R Trigger - No Function Y Button - Activate/Turn off siren X Button - No Function B Button - No Function Analog Stick Up - Accelerate Analog Stick Down - Brake/Reverse Analog Stick Left - Turn Left Analog Stick Right - Turn Right =============================================================================== IV. Know Your Items =============================================================================== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= i. Weaponry =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Knife - For basic hand to hand situations. Despite its short range, it can be very deadly in the hands of an experienced user. Baseball Bat - No violent street is without a Louisville Slugger. Another hand to hand weapon, the baseball bat is used to stun or knock down opponents. Pistol - Standard Issue weaponry for a police officer. Decent range, with a quick firing rate. Shotgun - Always a tough gun close up, the shotgun suffers from slow reloading and is completely arse at a long distance. Assault Rifle - It wouldn't be an action game without an automatic rifle. The best gun for combat, with its long range, excellent fire rate, and superb accuracy. Definitely a weapon of choice for one wishing to bust some arse. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ii. Explosives =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Well, techincally explosives are weaponry but they pack so much more punch, I gave them a category of their own. Got a problem with that? Write an email. Hand Grenade - Nothing beats these standard issue explosives. Press the Action button once to prime the grenade (pulling the pin). You have 6 seconds to press the Action button again to throw the grenade, or it will blow you into a thousand pieces. Timed Explosive - Feel like becoming your own demolition company? Get a time bomb. Pressing the Action key will prime to bomb. You have 5 seconds to get away. Being too close to the blast will hurt you. Don't waste these however, they are usually part of an objective. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= iii. Items =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Medikit - Increases your Health by 50% Stamina - Increases your Health to full, and extends your health meter over time Reflexes - Builds up skill through the game. Eventually your character's reaction times and accuracy will increase. Strength - Builds up your character's power, eventually increasing the amount of hits you can dish out and take during combat. Speed - Gives you a short term speed burst, as well as a gain to your overall speed. Overall speed and running distance of your character will increase over time. =============================================================================== V. Useful Tips =============================================================================== Whether these tips are useful or not is quite debatable, but I advise you to take not of the following while you are playing the game, they could very well save your miserable little life. - Bad guys can kick the weapon out of your hand, be careful. - As fun as it may be, try not to harm the innocents. - Conserve ammo, use the melee weapons where possible. - Remember to let go of the grenades :) - Take corners slowly - Use the guide if you get stuck :P =============================================================================== VI. Walkthrough =============================================================================== The section we've all been waiting for, or at least, the section you've all been waiting for (walkthroughs are a pain to write at times). Urban Chaos contains 3 types of training, and 23 missions, meaning this walkthrough will take some time. If you have any particular questions about an area of a game check this section before emailing me. Sorry Folks...but the walkthrough is currently work in progress. Throw all the vegetables and things you want, but I'd rather have something decent down than a piece of crap I threw together in 10 minutes to get this version out. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= i. Physical Training =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= After watching the decent introduction (the best bit of the game so far :P), you'll be presented with a fairly crude interface. After setting the game to your liking, you can then start the game. You'll be presented with the Level Select Menu, so select Physical Training, and start. Location: The Police Training Course Criminals: None Time: 1 Minute and 30 seconds Items: None Objective: Run through the Training Course, and press the button on top of the tower At the start of the level, there willbe a fly through movie of sorts, which will show you the level, and then Officer Dean will begin the following conversation... Officer Dean: Okay Stern, this is your physical, I want you to negotiate the assault course within the time limit. For this test, you will be restricted to the course track, you will not be allowed to take short cuts. ...At the end of the course, you MUST press the switch to stop the timer. Good luck. Okay Stern, you ready? Stern: Let me at it! Officer Dean: Go for it!! Now you will regain control of D'Arci. You will be facing Officer Dean, so straighten your view up. The course is relatively easy to navigate, but made quite hard by the absolutely terrible control method. Mistakes are costly, and controllers might be broken :P. The first series of obstacles are quite simple run, jump or climb up jobs. So run over the first one, climb onto the second (or jump over it), and then jump onto the final one. You can do a running jump onto the second, and then onto the third which will save some time. Once you have landed on the third block, do a running jump onto the ground and proceed up the stairs. There will be a large wall with a step at the top. Climb, step up the step, and do a running jump over the gap. You will see two ladders on the next platform, take your pick (I chose the right one, but either will do), and jump on to it. Jumping will shave a few seconds off the time. At the top, there will be a chain link fence. This time, there is no reason to jump into it, because no matter where you hit the fence, D'Arci will start at the bottom. Is it a bug? Who knows. Anywho, climb up and over the fence. Now, you will see a big stack of storage crates. Ignore the first of these, and climb up the stack at the point where the boxes make an L shape of sorts. _ _ |_||_| X |_| X - Climb here Jump up the the next level of crates, then jump down to the bottom of the stack. Run down the stairs into the small passageway. Officer Dean will buzz you on the radio... Officer Dean: Jump up to grab that cable... Do what Officer Dean tells you. If you grab the cable, you will slide down it, kinda like a flying fox. Miss, and you will suffer a fair amount of damage, and you'll lose a bit of time having to scurry over the chain link fence. You have to be fairly unco-ordinated to miss, so don't worry, you'll more than likely make it. After dismounting from the wire, you'll see a set of stairs. Run up the stairs and jump over the two lots of crates, then take a running jump, so that you hit the climbing wall at a decent height, and save yourself a bit of time. Proceed up the wall. Once you have reached the top, you will see two towers of storage crates, so jump onto the first tower. Don't bother jumping to the second, instead, jump from the first tower to the crate on the ground, and use that to boost yourself up the wall. A-top the next platform will be a series of catwalks. Thanks to the hopeless control method, these are a real bitch to navigate. Be careful when running across, as one mistake will be very costly, time-wise. Here's a small map to help you... __ | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | End of Catwalks | | | | | | (C) |__| | |_ _ | | |_ _ | | | (B)| | _ _ _ _| |_ _ _ _ | | |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | (A)| | | | _ _ _| |_ _ _ | | |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| Start Here Points (A), (B) and (C) have been marked out for the daring. At these points, a well timed jump can spare you a few seconds. Anyway, after negotiating the catwalks, you should arrive at a crude looking tower of sorts, with about 45 seconds left. Now cross the bridge. Climbing the tower is done in a spiralling motion, you run along the outside until you find a point at which you can jump to the next level. Do this until you reach the top of the tower. Once you get to the top, Officer Dean will radio you, and tell you to hit the button. Once you do so, you will hear him yell 'Stop the clock!!'. The level is now complete. Note: The rest of the walkthrough will be coming in time. Don't worry just because it took me 4 weeks to get off my ass for this release doesn't mean it will take as long for the next release :P Coming soon......(I Hope) =============================================================================== VII. Cheat Codes =============================================================================== Hehe, it would be nice if there were some cheat codes, seeing this game is a bit of a tedious load of fecal matter, but alas, we're out of luck. There is a small hint however. Apparently if you place your GD-ROM in a PC CDROM drive, and enter the folder Folder Padding 1, there will be a .ZIP file. Open the zip to find various screenshots of the game. Pretty lame, huh. =============================================================================== VIII. GameShark Codes =============================================================================== Even though I don't own a GameShark, and cannot be ****ed buying one, these codes are pretty much useless to me, but I hope you can get some enjoyment out of them.

To Do List =============================================================================== Looks like bugger all, but there is plenty to do: - Finish the game myself (up to Gatecrasher) - Get down a bare boned walkthrough - Find secrets In Progress - The Walkthrough, Physical Training is done. - Control Section, D'Arci and Vehicles are done. Please bear with me people, I have all the time in the world, but you must understand that this game is quite crap, and I'd like to focus on my other major projects (one is crap, one is good).
