A game set in an post-apocalyptic world based on the Kurt Russell movie "Soldier" that was cancelled before release, probably due to the bad reviews and box-office failure of the film. It contains 15 missions - each with their own objectives to fight your way through. Many of the missions are dramatized by stacks of smashed cars, pieces of wrecked airplanes, broken parking meters etc. It plays like a 2D, simple shooter out of an arcade, yet in a 3D world. You don't have to worry about what weapons you have; it's all about jumping into the action and blowing things up. In order to get armor, health, or better weapons, an enemy has to drop them, so it is in your best interest to play aggressively. Adding to the challenge, items that are dropped disappear in 10 seconds, so snipering is not much of an option. There are also some tricks to the game, like dodging fire by jumping and rolling, which comes in handy during some of the more complicated battles. In essence, the storyline is unimportant and barely exists. Like in Metal Slug or Contra, your objective is clear: Destroy the enemy and get as many weapon upgrades as humanly possible. You can play as either Todd or Sandra. If you play Todd, he will have more hit points than Sandra but he will move quite a bit slower. Sandra on the other hand has speed on her side, even though she can't take as many hits. | ||
