The Crow: City of Angels (video game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crow: City of Angels is a 1997 game for Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation and PC. It is loosely based on the movie of the same name.

[edit] Synopsis

They killed you. But you came back. An avenging angel from beyond the grave. A vigilante reborn to bring justice to the damned. Take your unearthly powers and wreak vengeance on Judah, L.A.'s drug king, Kali, the nin-jitsu death-bitch, Curve, Spider Monkey and an army of lowlife thugs... Because life after death is HELL.

[edit] Critical response

The game was almost universally panned upon its release, its controls were regarded as poor and it's gameplay as repetitive.^{[citation needed]} It has, however, got a cult status amongst fans of the movie series, as it is currently the only console game of the franchise available. The three ports are very similar, the only notable difference being slightly sharper background graphics and shorter loading times in the PC version.
