You’re a new type of cyborg cop, that works for a new anti-terrorism unit to hunt down terrorists, formed after they bombed the twin towers. A global pandemic keeps the streets eerily quiet.
I got the game bundled with a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 kit and played it before, during, and after 9/11, and was blown away by the coincidences that appeared eerily prescient during this time.
Yeah, I left out the spoilers and stuff that didn’t actually happen.
There’s a lot of what were open secrets in the 90s, like that the gov’t was scanning internet traffic and phone calls, the existence of the NSA, the CIA blackmailing US politicians, that gets combined with wacky conspiracies in there, which leaves a bad taste.
You’re a cyborg agent for a new branch of the federal government formed in response to a terrorist attack on us soil tasked with performing extrajudicial acts in order to keep access to the treatment for a pandemic under government control.
In the opening cutscene the governments response to the pandemic is revealed to be “let it rip” for profit.

It’s a phenomenal game and very fun.
Basically: Anti-Terrorist agent gets instructed not to talk to terrorist, talks to terrorist and becomes a terrorist.
