In 2044 profit-laden mining is pursued on Mars in a big
style. From the UN is sent the MARSCORP troops which should provide for
peace and order. However, the chairperson of the MARSCORP, Samuel Longwood,
gets rich and his greed is what leads to turmoil. You take over the role
of Chaser, a man, that aboard the spaceship H.M.S. Majestic without any
memories awakes. You are pursued by men who have you in their sights and
must try to find out about your past identity. The way leads at first
to the Earth where you get involved with the Mafia and Yakuza crime groups,
and in the end to Mars. The game was already announced in 2001, but at
that time the distributor went into bankruptcy and it became quiet around
the project. However, it was picked up for publication by JoWooD so luckily
the Slovakian developer Cauldron found a new distributor. The CloakNT
Engine is used by Cauldron which was developed already in 2001. The hero
has black and white flashbacks into his past and there are nice cutscenes
also. This game has almost non-stop exciting action which is very well
done. You can even slow the action down in "adrenaline mode" which is
like bullet-time in the Matrix films. The enemies are well placed and
have AI that's pretty good. Weapons are mostly modern-day pistols and
machine guns with only a few futuristic ones. This underrated game has
a huge single-player campaign and also standard multiplayer modes as well.
It's definitely recommended as a fun play. A free map pack was later released
with 5 additional maps. |
