Red Zone Game Sample - Genesis/MD
0Original Air Date: April 16th, 2009
This is a cool but difficult game, which isn't too surprising. It's made by many of the same folks who made Subterrania. This game is a combination of an overhead run & gun and a mission based shooter like the "Strike" series (Desert, Jungle, etc.). The opening animation (FMV) is incredibly impressive in my opinion, and Zyrinx and crew are very good at making their titles shine in one way or another and work around typical misconceptions about the Genesis or hardware limitations.
This game is a rather unique action game for the Genesis, much like Subterrania. It's cool that you can actually leave your helicopter at certain places to talk to civilians and go to places in a certain order on foot, to break the tedium of always flying over grassland or water. You can even choose three different humans who have their own weapons and use explosives to blow up barricades. There are games with some elements of this game, but there isn't anything else quite like this for the system. If you like challenging action games and evil dictators, this one is interesting. Enjoy.
