And getting out alive before the city falls in on itself or they get taken out by looters and rioters.There's a lot of YouTube videos that show off the game, if your interested in checking it out.  For example, three of the things I remember from the game were1) Just having reached the shore of the city from a suspended superhighway to watch the whole thing tip and collapse, just barely missing you2) Climbing a skyscraper as it's sinking into the water with cops chasing you up the floors as you try to recover evidence of what caused the disaster (them thinking you're a looter).3) Climbing into a half-collapsed skyscraper via fire truck ladder to help civilians escape to safety, while maneuvering through collapsed (and on fire) sections to get to the folks (only to find that one of the group you're to rescue is confined to a wheelchair...).Here's one video I found[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOCJUbvpOUc&feature=related]YouTube - Disaster Report (PS2) - Gameplay Sample[/ame]</blockquote>
