  • Summary: A routine stop for a traffic violation turns into a bloodbath as a drug dealer kills eight police officers. The DEA sends Detectives Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill to help investigate a new mystery drug and to untangle a web of lies, betrayals, secrets, and temptations. As Jack and Marcus, your decisions determine whether you're a good cop or a bad cop--turn the drugs into evidence and become the hero, or sell them on the street to earn some cash. No matter what path you choose, NARC gives you the chance to bust criminals, wield an arsenal of hi-tech police weaponry, and engage in rough street fighting.… Expand

    The controls are quite responsive, offering a wide assortment of combat moves, but the weak camera hinders them.

    The narrative is a bit thin-there's a new drug on the street called "Liquid Soul" and your task is to figure out where it's coming from-but once the fists and lead start flying, you won't really give a damn why you're doing what you're doing.

    Fail and wind up like so many game journalists at E3 – waking up across town with absolutely nothing in your pants pockets (if you're wearing pants at all).

    Put simply, NARC is a mess. Every time it starts to show a little potential, it blindsides you with a nearly unplayable mission, amazing camera failure, or a flat-out boring sidequest. [May 2005, p.112]
