Hooligans: Storm Over Europe is a video game recreating the hooliganismwhich often accompanies international football matches throughout much ofEurope.
The game was released in 2002 on the PC platform to immediate controversydue to its violent content and the perceived promotion of criminal behaviour in football, with some politicians calling for it to be banned. A similar media and political reaction had occurred on release of other controversial video games at the time such as Grand Theft Auto, Postal and Carmageddon. The Dutch producers of the game, Darxabre, defended the title stating that it rewarded strategic thinking rather than violence
The game is played out the over a football season and the object of the game is to become the most notorious group of hooligans in Europe in a documentary where one of the reporters who is a former hooligan himself joins the local firm in the Netherlands for a tour around Europe during a continental championship and their attempt to see that the Dutch gets the cup; through any means necessary. In order to achieve this the player proceeds through a variety of levels set in different locations and must maim or kill every opposing hooligan gang.
The Hooligans are divided to several classes, the Leader is the central member to the entire squad and the only one able to use handguns and rally his men and other members of the firm. The Rat acts as scout and can break into residential places without alerting the law but has limited stamina and easily drunk and high. The Hooligan is the demolitions expert and is used for crowd control.
