''Urban Chaos'' is a 1999 ThirdPersonShooter developed by Mucky Foot Productions and released by Eidos Interactive.
The story begins with Nubian rookie [[ActionGirl D'arci Stern]], the protagonist, joining the Union City Police Department. Much of her time is spent dealing with the Wildcats, a gang that is getting increasingly bold in their criminal activity. With the help of a vigilante named [[CoolOldGuy Roper]], D'arci begins to believe that the Wildcats plan to take over [[CrapsackWorld Union City]]. As the Wildcats grow ever bolder, D'arci discovers that the gang is led by [[SorcerousOverlord Mack Bane]], a candidate for mayor of Union City, who claims to be an immortal sorcerer with connections to Hell itself. It is up to Stern and Roper to stop him before he plays out the end of his prophecy.

* EtTuBrute: A police officer is revealed to be working for the Wildcats on one level.
