CrimeWave (not to be confused with the sidescroller Crime Wave by Access Software) is a video game developed by Eidos Interactive. Though originally announced as a multiplatform game, it was ultimately released as a Sega Saturn exclusive in 1997. As a bounty hunter, the player's task is to shoot down criminals within a given time limit, earning the currency, "Meks", as he does so. Earning enough Meks allows him to travel to different regions of the map to score more points.
The game takes an isometric overhead view, the cars being pre-rendered sprites but the buildings and scenery being represented in 3D. There was also a playable demonstration disc released in Europe.
