Ahh . . . finally the game’s getting interesting. Now I’ve had to choose sides. Do I believe that UNATCO is trying to take over the world and join NSF, or do I stick with UNATCO and keep shooting GiJoe “Cobra” lookalikes? Usually I side with the baddies, so this time I decided to play “good cop”. I put that in quotes because I have a feeling that it’ll all come crashing down in the end. I shot Mr “Bad Hispanic Accent” in the throat and then carried him across the airfield to make it look like he just had too much to drink - sort of like “Weekend at Bernie’s” but with more laughs.

There’s also a disturbing element to this game because it’s pre-9/11 and deals with terrorists taking over NYC. You start out the game running around the ruins of the Statue of Liberty (terrorists blew it up) and I’ve yet to see the WTC in any of the fly-bys. It’s interesting how plots like these are no longer necessarily tied to Sci-Fi settings with Cyborgs and plasma weapons.
