NARC

Take a bite out of crime? We prefer pocketing dealers’ stashes, instead. Patrolling slums and storefronts as undercover officers Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill, you’re free to live out all your good cop/bad cop fantasies. Cuff pushers, smack suspects, and gun down gangbangers while pursuing plot-driven missions, or just spend your days dropping acid. But beware: pharmaceuticals, which bestow performance bonuses—smoking weed grants slow-mo effects, consuming crack awards one-shot kills—also have detrimental side effects. Ingest evidence rather than confiscate it and you’ll develop embarrassing addictions you can kick only via meter-driven mini-games, or you’ll get busted in a random drug test. Play dirty and you may lose your badge, proving the long arm of the law isn’t above reaching into anybody’s trousers and squeezing hard.
