Uprising 2: Lead and Destroy

Action Game from 3DO, by Cyclone Studios

Sequel to the innovative action/strategy game that combines first-person shooting action with real-time strategy elements. You play a rebel soldier fighting against an alien foe. The single-player game consists of a total of 36 missions tied together by a strong story. The structure is not entirely linear and you can miss out missions and take on bonus missions to unlock new features. Missions are more varied than in the original game, for instance some now take place at night. The gameplay consists of taking control of technologically-advanced mobile armored command unit that is used to construct bases, communicate with HQ and to fire weapons. In addition, you control the other units in your force. These are varied and include specialized troops, infantry, land vehicles and aircraft. You can change the weapons your unit carries to suit the mission as well as upgrade various systems as the game progresses. New weapons and unit types have been added in this sequel. You view the action from a first-person perspective and a map screen allows you to keep view the status of the whole battlefield. The game employs improved 3D graphics and high-quality cutscenes. The control system is complex but effective. The game has a new, extended multi-player mode for up to eight people (via modem connection, LAN or Net) that offers new game types, such as a racing mode.
