Apocalypse is notable for featuring actor Bruce Willis, who provides the main character's likeness and voice, as well as being the first original game by Neversoft, prior to launching their blockbuster Tony Hawk franchise.

This game has all this mad stuff like System Of A Down and obviously Bruce Willis but they just ignore it to make a cool arcade shooter where the final boss is the president. Bruce Willis is mostly memorable for the worst one liners you've heard and going really quiet during the incomprehensible cutscenes, while any licenced music weirdly has a spot in the level? Like as if it's coming from a specific radio placed in the level, the System Of A Down song comes blasting in as you're mowing down enemies and everything's blowing up but the song fades away after a few seconds and you're back to the game's music?
but yeah cool shit. gothy, bad cgi cutscenes that make no sense and a genuinely well constructed twin-stick shooter campaign that leans towards its hollywood actor with set pieces and a funky camera. has aged well in the way that stuff like the Resident Evil films have aged well where it's kind of dumb but very direct in it's aesthetic and intention.
I left the game on as I wrote this and the demo came on but it's just a view of a castle and someone screaming? not really a scary scream though just like "ah!"
