10 Best Visceral Video Games - Ranked

4. Future Cop: LAPD

What.a.GEM.

Future Cop was "one of those games" a TON of people played back in the late 90s (1998, to be specific), and it simply felt phenomenally progressive.

Controlling a transforming mech that could either be a bipedal walking tank or a hovering speeder with the touch of a button, levels were great mixes of "race to the next checkpoint", combined with more straight run n' gun blast-a-thons. The whole thing could be played in co-op, and your rig's transforming capabilities meant battles felt hyper-dynamic, letting you get some distance before returning fire with a volley of rockets.

Off the top of my head I can only thing of ONE other game (outside the Tranformers series, anyway) that gave us this 'two in one' control scheme (Galak-Z), and that is why - amazingly - Future Cop L.A.P.D holds up 19 years later.
