| Outwars | Microsoft (SingleTrac) | 1998 | [b]hang glider[/b] - not literally, the power armor at some point become fitted with foldable wings which are used like hang glider except for the fact that you also have the power armor's standard jetpack for additional propulsion.***DESCRIPTION As a Dreadnaut soldier, you will lead a team of space troopers against an alien insect force in a planet by planet battle to save the universe. You are the best we have. You are one mean space marine. Succeed in your mission objectives and we all survive. Fail...and you condemn us all. FEATURES Arsenal of Weapons - Arm your space troopers with a variety of lethal weaponry including heat-seeking swarm missiles, flechette cannons, plasma rifles, grenade launchers, and proximity mines before each level. 3D Interactive Audio - Outwars features a fully interactive soundtrack and sound system. All noises are rendered in 3D and are a major part of the gameplay -- enemy shrieks get louder and more alarming as you near them (even if they are behind a wall!), waterfall noises become louder, and ship noises go through Doppler warping as they scream past you in the full heat of battle. Additionally, the music itself is interactive and sets the tone for each mission. Singletrac has combined a rich redbook audio soundtrack with streaming interactive music that changes based on the game changes. You're searching: it's tense, suspended. You're fighting: it's a wild pounding battle song that will get your heart rate going and keep your fingers hitting those triggers faster, faster, faster. Rocket-Pack Dynamics - You'll experience dizzying heights and enormous depths while piloting a jet-pack armed with lethal firepower to take on the exo-skeleton adversaries. Large, diverse environments - Outwars includes a wide variety of diverse environments including a lush tropical planet, a desert mining colony, a forbidding ice planet and a planet sized hive. Additionally, the gameplay environments in Outwars are expansive; thus, your not just confined to the oppressive environments seen in most run-n-guns. This opens up the gameplay possibilities and makes the game less predicable. Multiple modes of motion - Players can choose from different method of motions including running, gliding and jet packing across vast environments. Unique gameplay strategy - You will face a variety of strategy options in Outwars, such as: Is there enough fuel to make it out of the deep, underground cavern? Would it be better to rush the alien insect force with the whole team, or send someone around to outflank them? Are the your adversaries running away because they were afraid or are they preparing an ambush? Mission-based levels - Outwars offers sophisticated objectives for each mission that vary from stealth under-cover work to frenetic combat action to team-assisted cooperative and research missions. This is not a standard "shoot everything and find the exit" game. Aggressive Adversaries - Deal with adversaries that will actively pursue you across vast landscapes and employ a variety of attacks in order to destroy you. Engaging Storyline - As you achieve your missions, you learn about the aliens that you are battling and their devious plans as your teammates work feverishly to help you foil them. Failure has one consequence: DOOM. Personalized characters - Character options allow you to choose to play as a man or a woman and outfit your teammates before third-person gameplay. Varied Multi-Player Play - OutWars supports modem, LAN and Internet play (via the Internet Gaming Zone) and includes cooperative, capture-the-flag, and death-match modes of play. Technology Support - MMX technology and Direct 3D acceleration are included for immersive play. [Microsoft] | labelimagesubject |
