Position elements, vehicles and obstacles where you want them.Ĭhoose and position rioters and police starting points as well as their orders and level of aggression.In the story mode, you are presented with four options, with a variety of locations and political upheavals over the last few years all present. The first is the Arab Spring and the revolution that happened in Egypt, while the second is that of the Catalan protests in Spain. Thirdly we see some bits set in Italy covering the proposed demolition of properties for a high-speed railway and the last puts us up in Greece – there is a protest that gets out of hand with an environmental issue. The set up is that you choose to play either as the Police or the Protesters, taking part in a number of missions or reenactments through the campaign.
The missions have goals like holding the ground for the protesters, or trying to push these guys back should you side with the police. But how do you do this, I can hear you ask? Well, this is the tricky part. Without beating around the bush, RIOT: Civil Unrest is a game that might well play out a whole load better with a mouse and keyboard, as the console controller interface just doesn’t feel very fluid with the action on screen.īut should you get to grips with what is going on, then it is defintiely much easier to play on the protesting side of the fence as opposed that of the law, something which I will readily admit got me completely lost with. You see, the whole scene is covered and you are able to zoom in and out of the action. With the protesters, you must corral the masses to keep them all together, before then trying to action the peaceful approach, or a more aggressive violent one.
