Urban Chaos: Riot Response is a first-person shooter video game developed by British games developer Rocksteady Studios and published by Eidos Interactive for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game was released in May 2006 in Europe and June 2006 in North America. It is Rocksteady Studios' debut game and, as of 2024, the only game by the developer to not be based on a DC Comics property as well as their only title to not receive a PC release.
The player controls Nick Mason, a member of the newly formed "T-Zero" riot control squad, in an unnamed modern American city that has been overtaken by a gang known as the Burners, who are armed with cleavers, molotov bombs and firearms used to attack civilians, paramedics, firefighters and police officers. The player can defeat the gang members with various firearms to protect the city, capture gang leaders and rescue injured civilians throughout the game. The Xbox version of the game features online multiplayer. While Xbox Live for the original Xbox was shut down in 2010, Urban Chaos: Riot Response is now playable online using the replacement Xbox Live servers called Insignia.
