NARC had the potential of being one truly guilty pleasure but instead just falls flat in all the things that could have made this game fun

Description

NARC will make a bold statement as a gritty crime drama that offers an intense and thought-provoking view into the seedy world of the war on drugs. Playing as dual characters in the elite NARC squad%2, Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill, consumers have a seemingly simple choice; they can walk the line or they can cross it. Eight Rockland police officers are slain by a drug dealer tripping on an unknown substance, during a routine traffic violation turned bloodbath. The DEA sends Dt. Marcus Hill to help in the investigation. Marcus was once part of Rockland's police force, until two years ago when his partner Jack Forzenski was kicked off the force. Unable to reconcile his deteriorating relationship with Jack, Marcus left for the greener pastures of the DEA. Now he must again work with his old partner (who's back on the force), and Captain Ed Kowalski, his former boss. Together, they investigate the new mystery drug, untangling a web of lies, betrayals, secrets, and temptations.

Features

Walk the line or Cross it. Players decide whether to play it straight as a good cop or to follow the crooked path as a bad cop, as they face the seedy underbelly of the criminal world.
It’s Addictive. Use drugs and get that extra edge, but be careful, a full blown drug addiction can bring a police career to quick and bitter end.
Criminal Bustin’ Mayhem. Busting criminals is critical to solving mission objectives and maintaining the proper badge rating required for a law abiding narcotics officer.
High Production Value. Hollywood voice talent includes Bill Bellamy (Fastlane, Any Given Sunday), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill), Ron Perlman (Blade II, Hellboy) and Michael Wincott (The Crow, The Count of Monte Cristo).
Pulse Pounding Back-beat. Experience a solid soundtrack of 21 songs that combines classic R&B tracks with custom urban beats created exclusively for NARC.
Bring the Battle to the Street. Wield an arsenal of hi-tech police weaponry and engage in rough, authentic street-fighting in an all out assault on crimes like robbery, vandalism, and muggings.
Powerful Arcade Heritage. Inspired by the smash arcade hit in 1988, the infamous NARC squad returns in a stylized, modern-day backdrop against the War on Drugs.
