Chrome has an interesting premise, even if it isn't entirely original, and most of the game can be fun to play.
Chrome takes place in the 22nd century. You play as Bolt Logan, a mercenary in an outer space dominated by a few large corporations looking to mine "chrome". You never really find out what chrome is, what it's used for, and why it's so valuable.
Published in 2003, I loved it! IMHO, a must have title even if I don't understand the why of its low selling rates...
