There was a guide posted for NARC when I began writing, but once more, I felt
as though I could include everything, so here is one of my full guides
of the game, where *EVERYTHING* is included. Weapons guide, drugs guide, cheats
and codes, character guides and anything else in between. It includes the full
solution to the actual game, as well as the locations for the "hidden drug
stashes."
Because the guide contains quite a fair bit of information, the Table of
Contents has been made bigger to account for that. It takes on the same format
as my other smaller FAQs, except it now uses sub-sections. Be sure to look
through for the section you need (E.G. You want to find out about the weapons)
and find the appropriate heading. To save time of scrolling through the whole
FAQ, search strings are avaliable and are noted in the Table of Contents.
*******************************************************************************
UPDATE: The game disc was broken in two for some reason, so the
guide has since been abandoned. I'll post the guide as it is up to the
end of the first country, but there won't be any updates until I pick up
a new copy of the game, which might just be a while. Sorry, folks. :*(

(I-I)     INTRODUCTION   (I-I)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Nonstop, Action-Packed, Drug-Busting Mayhem
* Play as either Marcus or Jack in each of the levels; the game's storyline
drives which character players control.
* Some missions are solo while other missions allow the computer-controlled
AI to fight along.
* Be a good cop or a bad cop, its up to you how you play the game.
* Bust Criminals - Arresting and busting criminals: The arrest procedure
will be fast, arcade-like and will feel like a real tussle. Ease of arrest
will depend upon the criminal's health, criminal rating and drug use.
* Unarmed Combat - The style will be a roughhouse, authentic street-fighting
style with big, wild punches, head-butts, knee-strikes, grappling and
throwing.
* Armed Combat - Using an intuitive combat mechanic, players will use a wide
arsenal of weapons, ranging from a crowbar to a rocket launcher and
flame-thrower.
* Worldwide Drug Locales - Players embark on an over-the-top adventure that
will take them around the globe in pursuit of the evil drug lord, Mr. Big.
* Ambient Crime - The world found in NARC is extremely violent and
crime-ridden. Occurring outside of the main missions, gamers can hone
their skills and build their reputation by choosing to stop the many
random crimes ranging from purse snatching to bank robberies.
NARC is an all-new remake of the 1988 cult arcade classic of the same name,
which was the first action/shooter videogame to put players in the middle of the
war on drugs. Assuming the role of Marcus Hill and Jack, ex-partners reluctantly
reunited as members of the elite NARC squad, gamers must rid the world of the
powerful international drug cartel, K.R.A.K., which is run by the evil drug
lord, Mr. Big. To stop the spread of the new ultra-powerful designer street
drug, Liquid Soul, gamers must use street-style, hand-to-hand combat and a
large array of weapons against enemies.
Hitman and Max Force embark on an authentic, drug-busting mission around the
globe, from the United States to Asia and Eastern Europe, and finally to Mr.
Big's private island hideout. To accomplish their goal, gamers can choose from
an arsenal of weapons to use as well as down-and-dirty street-fighting skills.
The armed combat features third-person shooting, plus a zoomed-in third-person
view for the perfect shot, while the unarmed combat features roughhouse action
with an authentic street-fighting style, including wild punches, head-butts,
knee-strikes, grappling and throwing.
NARC also features sub-missions that occur outside of the main missions. Gamers
can hone their skills in the sub-missions and build their reputation by choosing
to stop the many random crimes ranging from purse snatching to bank robberies.
And, the licensed music in NARC features a collection of the best drug songs of
all time.

(R-V)     REVIEW      (R-V)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NARC. What a hilarious game back in the day. It was basically telling the little
punks of the day, "Die by the drugs, or by this really big mother-****ing
bazooka I've got here." In the original, you were playing a badass police
enforcer who tore the streets apart with endless rocket fire to prevent drugs
from poisoning the streets. Now, in the re-make of the classic arcade game, you
can make the choice of destroying the drugs...or taking them yourself.
It's highly controversial. You might be thinking, "So if you take the drugs, a
cop will come and arrest you and it's Game Over?"...No, it's not like that.
Drugs are encouraged in this game! Each drug has it's own special ability linked
to it. The gameplay is highly altered depending on what drug you do take. For
example, grab some hash and weed and light up, the whole world goes all slow and
blurry. Think of it as Max Payne's bullet time. But it doesn't end there.
Popping a couple of LSD tabs brings out the worst in people, literally, as evil
do-ers are personified by large evil heads, making it easy to tell who's a perp.
Speed? Why, everything goes double time of course! Crack? BESERKER MODE! It's
highly fun to play around with the different drugs, but there is a down side to
this mode of gameplay...
|A|D|D|I|C|T|I|O|N|
Smoking too many of those spliffs and you might grow to depend on them. And it's
not just that, if you're seen with the spliff and you're as high as a kite, you
might just be spotted, arrested and then demoted to that of a lowly street cop.
BUSTED! There is the ability to redeem one's self in the form of 'rehab'. Rehab
is not you sitting on a beanbag for a couple of hours talking about how you need
to eat cold chicken or whatever. Instead, it's apart of a series of button
hitting sequences in a memory-type game.
Combat plays a part in the game, but I can't help but feel it's too over the
top. It's a series game of button mashing punch-ups, kicks and shoot-ups. Mass
slaughter makes the cop image ever so slightly contradicting:
"I'm a cop who serves and protects the good people of this town from drugs but
I'm not afraid to aimlessly blow up the streets with my rockets to do so."
The graphics aren't polished and are the big letdown for the game, but it's to
be fair, it's what you expect with this sort of game. It's a nice game,
promising features, but let down slightly with the execution side of the game.
Excellent use of the drug-use system.
