Story

The city is controlled by 3 criminal organizations: Los Muertos ( Eng. Los Muertos ), Wolf ( Eng. Volk ) and Shai-Gen Corporation ( Eng. Shai-Gen Corporation ). Opposes them an organization called Peacekeepers, which is trying to prevent the flourishing of crime. The Agency helps them in this, using special cybernetically modified super-soldiers, known as Agents. The player takes control of one of these Agents - he is charged with destroying these three gangs and maintaining calm in the city.
