[edit] Gameplay
Players must think on their feet and utilize creative survival skills to have any hope of seeing their family again. Body temperature and health decrease when players are wet or in cold weather too long - they must find places to warm themselves and scrap together meals from whatever they can find. In the end, players must run, climb, jump, and crawl their way out of this devastated city, while constantly trying to piece together information from emergency broadcasts and other victims of the disaster.
- Run, climb, and crawl out of the devastated city...
- Six playable characters, each with their own unique abilities.
[edit] Plot
The year is 2010...
The underground city, Geo City, is a project put together to design the safest and most advanced city ever built in the world. The newly-opened city is working great and the Mayor's Conference to commemorate the opening is going well, aside from a bit of rain outside. Joshua and Stephanie are just two of the waiters helping make the conference go as smoothly as possible. But, when the nearby Levee breaks and the Hudson River begins to flood the city from above the building the conference is being held in begins to be pummeled and destroyed by the raging rapids. The city and everyone in it are in total panic and turmoil. Can anyone escape the city alive? Will Geo City and all its citizens be put into an eternal watery grave?...
[edit] Connectivity
Uniquely, this game is able to interface with the Konami ParaParaParadise controller. This allows the player to design their own hand movements to be used when summoning rescuers. Players may also use the controller to simulate the "fireman carry", used to move unconscious characters.
[edit] Reception
The game received mixed to average reviews and holds an average of 63% on Metacritic. On Game Rankings, it averages at 62%.
It also gained negative attention from fans who were following the game from its Japanese release. The North American release had many cutscenes edited to the point that some didn't make sense. The censored content consisted primarily of violence, blood, and suggestive talk, in order to avoid an M Rating and more descriptors.
[edit] Trivia
- Kelly Austin from the previous game reappears in Raw Danger.
- Keith Helm (the main character of Disaster Report) also makes an appearance in Raw Danger. He can be unlocked as a playable character by doing certain actions.
