Aboard the lethal Gunship Gladiator helicopter, it is your job to ensure that a coup fails to install a dictator as leader. The game features 12 levels split into three distinct styles. First of all you'll be flying over a city in your helicopter, shooting out tanks by ducking low enough to target them, but also climbing to avoid the skyscrapers in the area. The third section is viewed similarly, but sees you attempting to wipe out the planes mounted on an aircraft carrier. The second section is viewed behind your helicopter in full 3D, and adds helicopters and planes to be shot, with dodging their bullets as you duck down to shoot the tanks being the main challenge. Your chopper is equipped with rapid-fire 30mm automatic gun and unlimited Straight Line air-to-ground missiles. As you pilot your helicopter through the four levels of play, shooting everything and anything in sight, you must avoid or annihilate onslaught after onslaught of hostile enemies. You will dip down into war-torn city canyons and destroy enemy patrollers. You'll fly over an invading warship - heavily equipped with gun emplacements - and take them out. You'll maneuver through hidden canyons, giant skyscrapers, virgin forests, and craggy desert ranges while downing screaming jets, tanks, cruisers, and fighter planes. At the end of the game you must destroy enemy headquarters, which is a monolithic, off-site refinery in the middle of the ocean. |
