Story

The game featured the acrobatic, gun slinging D'arci Stern, a Union City police officer on the edge. The plot soon takes a twist as local gang 'The Wildcats' begin to attempt taking over the city. To help with her quest, Stern not only has an assortment of weapons but also a partner, a paranoid vigilante named Roper McIntyre who seems to know more than he lets on. D'arci and Roper can drive several types of vehicles around Union City, each with different handling. The player can also gain character upgrades and talk to civilians for clues, warnings or just a giggle.

The game was based around the events during the turn of the new millennium and the predictions of Nostradamus, as a street gang turned cult attempt to take over Union City. To top it off, mysterious men in black are appearing in the streets, and the tension is building towards the final showdown.

What happens on Halloween when the only neighborhood in sight has been built over an indian burial ground and is full of nightmarish creatures? Well, you go to trick or treat there, of course, but not without your assortment of powerful weapons to aid you along the way.

You can either perform a powerful slice attack or hold the chainsaw revving to do minor damage over time. The latter is often not useful unless you know what you're doing or have the super chainsaw upgrade, in which case it will tear through damn near anything.
