"You
have been dropped by shuttle at a Strogg Ore Refinery. Destroy the refinery
by setting a chain reaction. Then, get out alive. Simple! ~Matt Fox
From
the moment you observe your dropship hovering overhead who kindly tell
you to hang on a second while they blast a hole through the Strogg front
door, you realize that this is going to be one exciting level.
After
grabbing your machine-gun and a few rounds you run headlong to the open
door where you are promptly welcomed by a mix of flyers and gunners. Running
low on ammunition and bleeding badly you race back out the door hoping
to make it to the first aid kit you noticed outside. With the pursuing
Gunners wildly shooting and even striking each other you dash headlong
back into the sunlight only to be met by an Icarus class Strogg. Damn!
This is going to be one tough mission!
Gameplay
is tough and challenging. Combat situations are perfectly balanced with
an appropriate blend of Strogg opponents, weapons and ammo.
Throughout
this mission you have a sense of urgency that you must get this job done
as quickly as possible. Supporting this is Matt's excellent use of your
field computer (F1), updates are conveyed with a sense of urgency which
follows the action perfectly. You would swear that they are dynamic and
not canned!
Architecture
is very good and downright great within the Ore factory itself. The combination
of build and lighting are without equal. The believable golden rays of
light filtering through the high factory windows are simply beautiful.
A moving claw also adds to the gameplay and is fun addition to the level.
