  Xbox NARC Review | ChicagoXbox.com
Not only has NARC been totally redone, but the original is intact as an unlockable.
Of course when Midway announced that NARC will be released with a price of only $20, gamers naturally started to worry about the quality if it had to become a budget title...
The Missions in NARC puts you in the role of Jack or Marcus (though you don't choose) of the Narcotics Division.

NARC is a third-person action shooter set against a stylized modern-day backdrop of the War on Drugs.

 'Narc'
Narc" is a cop movie on a speed rush, taking its aesthetic cues from the very circumstances of its creation.
Writer-director Joe Carnahan shot it in 27 days with his creditors pounding at the door while he and his actors made the icy back streets of Toronto look indistinguishable from the chilled ruin of Detroit, where the film is set.
And when kinetic intensity isn't enough, "Narc" contemplates the brooding profile of Jason Patric as undercover officer Nick Tellis, who spends most of the movie searching not just for a cop killer but also for answers to the turmoil in his own life.

 Encyclopedia Obscura: Sober up or Die!
In Narc, you control Max Force, a cop who conducts drug busts according to standard procedure: by driving a red Ferrari around in full combat gear and shooting everyone up with a machine gun.
Narc was part of Just Say No International, a major anti-drug campaign in the late eighties with Barbara Bush on top.
What I get from Narc is 'drugs = action & hobo slaughter.' What I get from Raid 2020 is a desire to make it go away by taking drugs.

 NARC - Production Notes
To writer/director Joe Carnahan, the arduous journey of having “Narc” come to fruition was like a phoenix rising, and as far as he is concerned, “Ray Liotta really pulled it from the ashes,” throwing himself into the project and going to bat to get it financed.
Producer Nabatoff couldn’t agree more, adding that “Narc” was probably one of the hardest films to get off the ground, but also one of the most gratifying projects with which she’s ever been involved.
Joe Carnahan, who grew up around Detroit, wanted to set “Narc” in that area because his recollections of the Michigan city were very dark, industrial and cold, a feeling he believes lends itself perfectly to this kind of story.

 Kenya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In December 2002, Kenya held democratic and open elections and elected Mwai Kǐbakǐ as president from the National Alliance Party of Kenya (NAK) as president.
The NAK and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) formed the NARC coalition that currently governs Kenya.
Kenya is in the process of rewriting its post-colonial constitution and its subsequent amendments that gave the president nearly unlimited powers and immunity from the law accounting for many of Kenya's current problems with corruption.

 CVG - Previews
NARC is the grandson of an insignificant 1980s arcade game of the same name that pivots on a rhetorical moral dilemma: who do you want to play as - the rule-abiding good cop in his freshly-ironed regulation slacks, or his lady-shagging, drug- munching, fun-having bad guy counterpart?
NARC's A-list voice actor Michael Madsen is heavily involved, as is Hellboy's Ron Perlman.
One possible side-effect of drug abuse (drug abuse being the very worst way of taking drugs; taking drugs being very bad for you) is that here, unlike in say, either the film or music industry, the more drugs you take, the less people respect you.

 NARC Review (Xbox)
NARC was a late 80’s coin-op classic that was the quintessential “forbidden lifestyle” game of its era.
When NARC first made its big splash onto the gaming scene in 1988 people were intrigued.
The game's premise is to bring a world of police drama and intrigue into your hands, and for the first few hours, NARC does provide a good bit of enjoyment.

 Narc
Still, there's a rough intelligence and visceral edge to the film--hewn from its tough-talking vernacular and graphic violence--that feels great in an era where both sides of the ratings divide: PG and R, are hell bent on edging into the grey PG-13 arena where mental adolescents and the easily-diverted play.
Narc works largely because it's a mature film for adults, smoothing over some of the rough spots where the film begins to lose itself in a labyrinth of flashbacks and surprise revelations.
The opening sequence, shot with a blue filter and a frenetic handheld perspective, is harrowing and disturbing while a few middle sequences of interrogation and investigation bristle with invention and menace.

 Globetechnology: Games play up drug culture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In mid-2002, when the video game "Narc" was only six months into development, the most startling element in it may have been a barrel-throwing sumo wrestler.
In "Narc," which is rated M, or Mature, for ages 17 and older, players control one of two narcotics officers, partners who were once separated after one became addicted to drugs.
That first "Narc" did not include drug use but rather a one-man war on drugs in which players machine-gunned hordes of pushers, clowns and villains who threw syringes.

Narc's publishers at Midway say the game is all about choices, and the consequences of those choices.

NARC tries to prides it self on its open-ended gameplay, but its half-hearted effort to join the ranks of the GTA series falls mistakenly short.
NARC offers gamers the ability to roam the streets freely inbetween missions, but the problem is there just isn’t anything to do.

Unfortunately, both he and Oaks remain on the emotional edge, and their mental state may seriously compromise what has already proven to be a dicey investigation.

 ToxicUniverse.com - Joe Carnahan - 2002 - Narc Movies Review
There are worse experiences than sitting in a theater to watch writer/director Joe Carnahan's Narc, but his good cop/bad cop melodrama will play much better on the small screen, where you can pretend this is an uncensored episode of Law and Order with additional profanity and gore.
Narc isn't the easiest film to watch—a couple vomiting scenes, one during an extended sequence with a rotting corpse in the bathtub, and numerous close-ups of bloody mugs.
Narc plays like an ordinary cop drama that appears weekly on television—not a horrible project, but not one that demands heading to the theater and paying premium prices for.

That’s right, NARC is back, and looking better than ever thanks to an enhanced version of the notorious State of Emergency engine.
Another cool feature in NARC (relating to the bad cop rating in a sense) is your ability to use the drugs for special limited stat boosts, such as snorting cocaine for a boost of speed or smoking pot to go into an alternate plain of existence known as "weed time" (a.k.a.

 The Popkorn Junkie :: NARC
However, on the long drive home, I had time to reflect on the film and--by the time I arrived home--had reached the conclusion that "Narc" might be the best cop film of all-time, and that is a bold statement when you consider the plethora of fantastic cop films out there.
Jason Patric stars as Nick Tellis, an undercover narcotics officer with three things against him: (1) he is a recovering drug addict, (2) he is on probation after a tragic accident, and (3) he has been assigned to investigate the death of a fellow police officer.
"Narc" surprised me. I was not expecting to walk out as unsure as I was, and I certainly wasn't expecting to finally reach the conclusion that is was the best cop film I had ever seen.
