Highly
acclaimed movie, The Crow, attained cult status among many fans during 1993/4.
Following the tragic and fatal accident of Brandon Lee, during the filming of
the final scenes, The Crow turned out to be a worthy swan-song for the films
lead actor. The ironic storyline was of a man called Eric Draven, who was
murdered alongside his girlfriend by a crazed Halloween gang. With his soul
refusing to rest, the Crow allows him to return to take revenge on his
perpetrators.
Three years later, we have the sequel, The Crow - City
of Angels. This time a man (Ashe) and his son are killed because they witness
a murder, and once again the Crow brings Ache back to life to wreak revenge.
You
control The Crow (the reincarnation, not the bird) as he wanders around beating
up the thugs. With the facility to kick and punch, duck and block, you must
progress through the levels, facing up to three assailants at one time, in this
3D beat-em-up. The controller also incorporates a pick-up button for collecting
sticks, knives and crow bars, which can be used to fend off your
aggressors. In the later levels, you will find even more powerful weapons, in
the form of guns and explosives.
The characters in The Crow - City of
Angels are made up of textured polygons, while the levels are based on actual
locations that feature in the movie, which will allow you to participate in
back street scuffles and bar room brawls.
