Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix

Adventure Game from Eidos Interactive, by Kronos Digital Entertainment

Action adventure game starring two curvaceous heroines, named Hana and Rain. There are four playable characters in all, each with their own missions. The game is a prequel and the story involves the period before the team of mercenaries got together. The women are on a mission to infiltrate a secure base and steal part of the human genetic code (the Retro Helix) in order to develop a cure for a disease, called EINDS, which is threatening the world. Good cutscenes help develop the story.

The game incorporates general improvements over the first game. For instance, the various elements are better integrated. The sequel features fully animated backgrounds, unlike the first game, and better character animation. The gameplay involves exploration, shooting and puzzle-solving. Loads of high-powered weapons are incorporated, including rocket launchers, grenades and flame-throwers. There is no multi-player mode. The game features gore, strong language and nudity, making it suitable only for adults.
