Urban Strike (Urban Strike for short) is a shoot-'em-up game developed by Electronic Arts, Granite Bay Software, and Foley Hi-Tech and initially released in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive exclusively in the US and Europe before being ported to a variety of other consoles, including to the Sega Game Gear (released 1995). It is the third game in the Strike series, following Jungle Strike.

Story

In the year 2001 a candidate for public office, H.R. Malone, is found out as a criminal (despite having political messages promising eliminating crime) by the US Special Forces team of the previous games. This leads to a call to an associate to investigate and stop the Special Forces team from interfering with the setup of a superweapon. Seemingly unbeknownst to Malone, that associate is actually a Special Forces infiltrator leaking the information... but the limo he is to leave in explodes, and the rest of the team is called in to stop Malone with stop the leaking of what little information they have.

Gameplay

Gameplay is identical to other Strike games: / move forward/backward, / rotate the helicopter, shoots hellfires and jink, shoots hydra, shoots normal helicopter guns, START pulls up a map, and there are missions to complete in each level. However, the player must occasionally leave the helicopter and complete some parts of missions on foot.
