Necessary Force is a canceled action game that was in development at Midway Newcastle. The game was supposed to be open-ended, with the player that could have been able to choose how to approach the mission. Unfortunately, Midway Newcastle shut down in august 2009 and the project had to be shelved. A preview of an early playable demo can be found on the EDGE website and as we can read, the game sounded promising:

[...] the developer’s demo room is the result of only three months’ work, yet there is plenty to see, and in remarkably stable, consistent form. [...]

As a police officer assigned to this beat, you’re looking at a clean-up operation, which due to the game’s construction will play out literally. As you eliminate criminal activity to make these streets safer, we’re told, they will transform. The ubiquitous graffiti will be scrubbed away. Boards will be removed from windows. Entire buildings will be replaced with shiny new constructions, putting a shop, say, were once there was a tumbling-down tenement.

Thanks a lot to Sam Chester for the help in preserving some screens of the models that he created for the game!
