The game’s story involves a secret underground race on an island in the Atlantic Ocean which has stolen top military vehicles and equipment from around the world and built powerful war machines from them. Military and intelligence officials of major countries detect them, but are afraid that they will be unable to prepare against an assault by this underground race.They send the player character in to infiltrate their base and destroy them. Players can control either a helicopter or a jeep. The helicopter is not stopped by obstacles but the jeep can fire in any direction. There are nine weapons (five permanent, four short-lasting specials) the player can pick up along the way. You’ve got to take the wheel of a jumping, whirling, gun-heavy jeep that fires in any direction. Or master the controls of a deadlyfast, missile-loaded helicopter.
Both war machines have special capabilities. Both change into different vehicles on certain levels. It’s up to you to pick the right weapon. So get ready to collect your flamethrowers, plasma cannons, lasers, guided missiles, nuclear weapons and more. There’s no time to assemble forces — it’s just you or you and a partner going straight into the blazing, blasting heart of enemy territory. Make sure you buckle up. And put your finger on firepower.
