This is an overlooked and underrated fun shooter similar in style to MDK with an emphasis on stealth and sniping. A nuclear weapon has been stolen by terrorists intent on destroying the land of Esoteria and its colonies, and you must stop them. Raven is the name of a secret military project to create a cyberneticly enhanced super-soldier. The aims of the Raven's military creators are of questionable morality, and Raven ultimately turns against them. Raven's primary weapon is the arm-mounted ARC blade which is used for close attack or to fire bolts of energy at a distance. Holding the fire button charges up the ARC blade, allowing multiple projectiles to fire in a spread pattern to hit multiple targets. Secondary weapons can also be added to the player's arsenal such as heat-seeking missiles. You are extremely outnumbered, by well equipped enemies with innovative AI. It has a huge 3D complex with environments and structures done in beautiful graphics, which include cities, forests, deserts, and aquatic areas. Many missions require a fine balance of reflexes, cunning, stealth, and even strategic planning. You have to ambush and assassinate, disappear and destroy, and plan how to kill. It also has multiplayer capabilities where up to 16 players can meet head-to-head or engage in co-operative play. | ||
