About the game

A New York cop who lost everything goes on a slow-motion rampage through a snowstorm of mobsters and drug dealers. It brought Hong Kong-style bullet time to games and told its story through noir comic-book panels.

Kit's verdict · 8.8/10Bullet time still feels great, and the deadpan noir narration is pure gold. Kit · Sadkitty Games

Loved

  • Bullet time makes every shootout stylish
  • Brilliant, pulpy noir writing
  • Graphic-novel cutscenes

Not so much

  • Nightmare dream levels are frustrating
  • Shooting gets repetitive by the end

Play it if fans of action movies, noir and stylish gunfights.

Skip it if players who want variety beyond shooting.

Tips

Play it better

  1. Shoot-dodge into rooms instead of walking in. Diving in slow motion keeps you alive.
  2. Bullet time refills when you kill enemies, so chain kills to keep it going.
  3. Painkillers heal over time, so take one before your health gets critical.
  4. The dual Berettas are great early, but save shotgun ammo for close-range rushes.
  5. Throw grenades and Molotovs around corners at groups before they can spread out.
