This takes the familiar live action, first-person target shooting formula and
ups the ante in terms of realism and interactive intensity. Players join the police
force and engage in a number of harrowing law enforcement situations, including a bank
holdup, a gang fight, a crack house bust, a nuclear power plant takeover and, scariest
of all, a terrorist/hostage crisis that takes place on an airplane and in an airport.
Television reporters appear onscreen, commenting on whether the player has shot bad
guys or innocents, and the situations in the game vary depending on how successfully
the targets have been shot and other factors. Real actors and Hollywood stunt men add
verisimilitude to the proceedings. The player is employed in the police force and
works his way up from Rookie to Delta Force, achieved through systematically neutralizing
threats which appear in various environments and scenarios. With your gun (or mouse,
depending on if you use the computer version), you shoot down gangsters, murderers,
druglords and terrorists in various tactical situations, only to ultimately face a
serious nuclear threat in the final scenario. There are four levels which the player
completes one by one, not counting the shooting range, which one can access to improve
his or her aim and reflexes. As a Rookie, the player teams up with a somewhat
boisterous policewoman, taking on shoplifters, armed robbers and gang members. After
getting promoted to Undercover, the player gets a slightly overweight male partner
and confronts drug smugglers and crimelords in a nightclub, impound lot and airport.
Next, in SWAT, bank robbers and terrorists become the enemies. Finally, in Delta
Force, the player must stand up to criminals who are a serious threat to national
security, such as a hijacked shipment of Nuclear material, hijacked planes, and
assassination attempts. Each part of the game is made up of three separate scenarios,
with one final mission involving a plot to steal plutonium that is filmed partly in
nightvision, awaits the player who can complete all of those in Delta Force. The
game was re-released by Digital Leisure around 2003 with updated video and sound,
in addition to several bonus options. |
