What you can do

Sunrise behind the Gateway Arch and the Old Courthouse

The real streets of St. Louis

Downtown, Market Street, the interstates, Page Avenue out to Lindbergh. The map is built from the city's own data, so the roads, the blocks and the Arch are where they are on a real day. The sun rises and sets over it.

A Metro bus pulling in to a stop where people wait

Traffic and buses on real Metro routes

Cars obey the lights and queue at junctions. Buses run the routes of the real Metro system, kneel at the stops and let people on and off. Take one yourself.

Police cars with lights on, closing in on a man in the street at night

Police and wanted levels

Cause trouble and the stars come up. Patrol cars give chase and try to spin you out, roadblocks and spike strips follow, then SWAT, and at five stars a helicopter with a searchlight.

The player's character walking a night street

Gangs, missions, and jobs

Gangs hold their corners and shoot back. Take missions, drive a taxi, or run a bus route for pay. Or just get out and walk: the city is full of people.

A police car thrown into the air by a rocket blast

Cars that break

Panels dent, glass cracks and falls out, tyres go flat, tanks burn. Hit hard enough and the car is a wreck. Heavy weapons are in the game, and they do what you would expect.
