An organization called "Amadeus" wants to take over all the military computers in the world using a new virus they have created. It's your mission to destroy them before they accomplish their evil ambition.
This sequel introduces a new weapon pick-up (Dual Machine Gun), 6 new vehicles (Motorcycle, Truck, Bradley Tank, Metal Crow Tank, Four Legged Walkmachine and Forklift Truck) as well as 2 new soldiers for the pantheon (Nadia Cassel and Trevor Spacey).
The most notable introduction to the series is the Metalish System, giving the players a new way to score even more points: after picking up certain shield-shape emblems, a timer bar will be displayed at the top of the screen. During this time, you must shoot as many enemies as possible and, depending on your success, you will receive a corresponding badge bonus that will be added to your score after completing the challenge. However, should you die during the mission, the bonus will be lost. |
