Deadly Tide is a pre-rendered shooter in which you get control of a deadly new
undersea vehicle. The basic plot behind Deadly Tide is that the aliens have arrived on
Earth, and they're not friendly. They take up residence in the oceans of earth, and
begin to launch attacks on shipping. Plus, they're also slowly raising the level of
the oceans, trying to flood humans from the planet. Your mission is to Stop them. The
game is split up into a number of stages, taking place in various locations, the
ultimate aim being to make your way through to the end of that level in once piece.
There are a lot of cut-scenes that further the story. Set in 2500 A.D., this action
thriller features stunning 3-D graphics and a powerful musical score. Deadly Tide's
pulse-pounding action requires lightning-fast reflexes. As hydrofighter pilots, gamers
destroy aquatic-based aliens while venturing into numerous underwater passageways,
adding to replay value and truly challenging gamers. Using the game's 360-degree
full-spherical movement at climactic moments during game play, gamers are taken from
the ruins of the S.S. Ballard to a nonstop, suffocating race against time in which
pilots must fend off alien gunfire as they race to escape the enemy compound. The
seamless integration of cinematic sequences adds to the intensity of game play. The
game features nonstop encounters with powerful biomechanical aliens, who continually
challenge players to make strategic as well as combative choices. For example, the
aliens' underwater defensive shield will vaporize human craft; can the shield be
disabled, or is there a way around it? The wrong answer means certain death. |
