From the
creators of Tomb Raider comes a new
science-fiction action-adventure game. The planet has
become severely overpopulated and society has moved into
huge tower-cities, each inhabited by millions of people.
You control a team of four members of an elite force
called the Urban Protection Agency as they investigate a
bizarre equipment malfunction at the Real Meat factory.
They soon discover a much more serious problem. The four characters are Carter, the
squad leader; Minoko, the computer expert; Andre, the
engineer; and Amber, the robot. Featuring
interchangeable first- and third-person viewpoints,
gameplay requires close interaction between these
characters. Command may be switched between characters
and also to remotely operated equipment. Gear includes a
hover camera, rover, sentry guns, mines, explosive
charges, a "time-shock" weapon that slows time
for all but your team members, a mind probe, and a
bouncing Frisbee explosive. The team can remote operate
cameras, security weapons, doors, and other machinery,
plus, as an added feature, the equipment can be
regenerated when needed. The game engine is completely
different from the one used for the Tomb Raider
series, and allows for improved animation systems,
mirrored surfaces, bump mapping, environmental bump
mapping, gloss mapping, and light mapping!! |
