You start out in a flashback sequence, you're in your patrol car driving to the scene. You see a person with a gun, and you have to shoot them before they aim at you. You do, however a cutscene (one of three in the game) reveals it to be a young boy with a toy gun. The sequence ends and the next level you are handed a mountain of paperwork, in order to clear your desk (a la tetris) you have to make the paper disappear in 5 minutes. Victory results in being put back on patrol, you drive around, next challenge is sobriety test. You pull up to a drunk in the road. In order to get him to the side you have to flag him down without being noticed by the homeless. Once you do you give him a sobreity test by a combination of commands (think hadoken).

Victory results in another paperwork puzzle. The next cutscene is you on the phone with your bitchy pregnant wife , whom commands you to pick up some junk food. You go to the store and when the clerk looks at you funny you kick his ass. Then a call on the radio gives you your next mission, check out the nakatomi building. The last cutscene of the game is here, it shows you as Carl checking out the building and getting fires upon. For the next few levels you will be doing a guitar-hero style game to talk into the radio. (you get a walkie-talk with four buttons).

After that part of the game is over, you find yourself in Gotham. Just transferred because die hard 2 never happened. Though Gotham is called chicago for some reason. You live with your new family in witness protection, and some kid named urkle. You join Gotham PD right at the time the joker appears on scene. Eventually, through a number of stealth and shooting missions, you discover the joker is urkle, you both fight it out atop the sears tower, victory produces a bonus movie showing you retiring to new York city as a corrections warden circa the 1980s. Losing shows your dead corpse being looked at by urckle/joker, whom has a partner in the shadows, later to be revealed as your bitchy pregnant wife. Urkle was your son.
