The original PlayStation release received mostly mixed reviews. Differences include partially improved graphics and changes in the available number of player lives. The Nintendo 64 version was released in North America and Europe in 1999, under the title Fighting Force 64. Eidos later cancelled this version of the game, but in February 1999 publisher Crave Entertainment purchased the rights from Eidos and put the game into its release schedule. Įidos demonstrated a playable Nintendo 64 version at the 1998 E3. An early prototype, with older character designs, was leaked in November 2008. After Eidos decided against publishing this version, Sega Europe secured the publishing rights and announced a European release date of November 1997, but it was ultimately cancelled. In addition to the PlayStation, Windows, and Nintendo 64 versions, a Sega Saturn version was developed and eventually completed. Ī 'Battle Arena' mode was added to the game during development, but it was cut from the final version. The story line and character designs were done by Marc Silvestri. Core Design collaborated with ten coders from EA Japan in making the game. Core opted to go ahead with the game as a standalone, multi-platform title, and started work on it. Sega declined according to Core, Sega explained that it had its own plans for continuing the series. All four characters have a special move that can be performed with the loss of a portion of health.Ĭore Design originally pitched the game to Sega as a potential fourth entry in Sega's Streets of Rage series. Alana McKendricks is a fast but soft-hitting teenager with an effective jump-kick. Ben 'Smasher' Jackson is a large and slow bruiser capable of lifting and throwing the engines of cars at enemies. Hawk is somewhat stronger than Mace who is in turn faster than Hawk. Hawk Manson and Mace Daniels are two all-around characters. Players choose from a selection of four characters: Hawk Manson, Mace Daniels, Alana McKendricks and Ben 'Smasher' Jackson. The same is true for armor Aya finds.A screenshot of Ben 'Smasher' Jackson punching a generic enemy Aya will find many guns of various types throughout the game, and every gun can be modified with extra stats, either with special items, or by breaking down another gun to move over its bonus stats or special effects. These powers will deplete a recharging energy bar, although the bar will recharge slower the longer combat drags on. As Aya levels up she will gain access to parasite powers, such as healing or supercharging a bullet with energy. Combat is different from traditional RPGs, as while you still take turns attacking and/or using parasite powers, you'll be able to run across the battlefield and dodge enemy fire or even strike from a better angle or behind. Environments range from Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History to a police office and hospital, all of them modeled like realistic places and most of them crawling with bloodthirsty mutant animals. The game is played over six days, each day bringing its own quest. What if mitochondria are a species on its own, more advanced then humankind, and using them only to create environments and civilization for themselves? What if humankind are just hosts? What if mitochondria are the natural enemy of humankind? That would make Aya their natural enemy, so the battle for survival and uncovering the truth has already started. There has to be some connection between the two of you, as that seems the only rational explanation. Yet you appear to be immune, and as a police officer you're always on duty, so you must confront the danger. Suddenly audience members are set on fire, toasted completely, and it appears that the lead vocal is the source of this burning terror. Christmas Eve is the present day, and you've decided to visit the opera theater. DescriptionAn ordinary day in New York for rookie police officer Aya Brea.
