Urban Strike 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.
2001. A candidate for public office referred to only as "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 and calls an associate to investigate and stop the team from interfering with the setup of a superweapon. Seemingly unbeknownst to Malone, that associate is actually the Special Forces infiltrator leaking the information... but the limo he is to leave in blows up, and the rest of the team is called in to stop Malone with what little information they have.
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 you have missions to complete in each level. However, you also must occasionally leave the helicopter and do some parts of missions on foot,
