Sony's original shooter franchise sets its sights on PSP with a fresh take on futuristic action. Instead of retaining the first-person perspective of the PlayStation 2 version, the developers opted for a third-person view behind the main character. As the grizzly soldier known as the Templar, players must rescue hostages imprisoned by the tyrannical General Metrac. Metrac's forces, which include killer canines and bodyguards equipped with riot armor, can be stopped using an assortment of high-powered weapons, from sniper rifles to explosive-tipped crossbow bolts.
While Templar would be more than happy to go it alone, they will periodically be joined by computer-controlled teammates to help even the odds. Orders can be assigned to AI teammates from a tactical command interface, and players can also drive vehicles such as tanks and hovercraft throughout the game's 16 missions. New skills can be earned by participating in special challenge games, many of which are designed to test a player's shooting ability. Ad-hoc wireless support is included for cooperative play with a friend or six-player competitive battles on a choice of six maps.
