Description:
A soldier of the highest order, protected by a nuclear powered armored suit. It's the toughest job any one person could have... Save the human race from eradication. This time the threat is from alien parasites that feed on the living and toy with the dead.

The world is gradually being infested by these huge insects and it is your job to go in and save them. All normal military action has proved futile, as the toxins these bugs release are deadly to humans. Our only hope is an experimental suit, which will resist the toxins - Are you brave enough to take on the job?

  • Co-operative mode - Take on the bugs with a friend. Extreme explosive action, as you rip your way through the world.
  • Diverse environments which see the player go through Sandstorms / Snow / Rainforests / Volcanic eruptions and even Space.
  • Unique weaponry - Take on weapons from your environment and even from the bugs.
  • Multiplayer - up to 4 players in an all out shooting spree in unique multiplayer arenas.

A long time ago, in a distant galaxy, an alien race was fighting for survival. Over thousands of years, their society had expanded until their home planet could no longer support the population. The only way to continue their civilization was to look to the stars. For many years the aliens searched for another planet that could support life, and just when they were about to give up hope, they discovered a small, green and blue planet in a distant galaxy - it was perfect, almost too good to be true.

A plan of action was devised and swiftly executed. First they sent some breeding pods, these pods were designed to land on the planet and break open, scattering hundreds of aliens over the area. They would then start to colonize the planet in readiness for the main body of aliens, which would travel at a much slower pace in a gigantic spacecraft.

These pods landed in a remote part of Siberia and their passengers began to multiply. It was however, not as remote as the bugs had hoped and they found themselves close to a human military base. The bugs waited underground until they were strong and had multiplied sufficiently to take on the humans.

When the time was right, the decision was made and the bugs attacked the base - to make ready for the arrival of the main hive. They had to move quickly to spread to other parts of Earth.

The military quickly mobilized against the 'bug' threat, but their conventional forces proved to be useless. Overpowered by the toxins emitted by the new enemy, there was only one thing left, a secret, experimental battle suit, originally developed for use by ground forces in nuclear conflict - it's untested, but it's the only chance. They just need someone brave enough to give it a shot...
