You start the game by chosing up to 4 players, and this multiplayer option was very original when this game was released.
You can choose many personlaities, each of whom has a different weapon/items, and personality.
You can control these characters through an interface which reminds me of the multi player interface from the Captive role playing game, you can move an individual character up to a certain position and then select another character and move them or you can have up to 4 human players using a character each.
There are many levels to the campaign game, from easy missions to start from, to near impossible near the end, fighting guards, sentry bots, and various huge and nasty beasties.
If the campaign game does not appeal to you, then you can play a scenario game,which has the humourous lemmings levels where you blow up armed vicious lemings from the lemmings series of games.
In this first perspective game, you find many new weapons and items scattered throughout all of the levels, puzzles galore, having to utilise your team properly, like having one of your team go up a escalator, to push a button at the top for the rest of the team to rise.
From playing this game for a long time, I found the robot characters far superior to the human ones, as they have more hit points, or stamina than others, so if taking a party i advise taking the two robotic characters, the sniper character, an the army one.
All in all a good game, but shadowed by far more superior games in graphics and sound now, but for nostalgia sakes, it is worth playing, plus having fun with your friends, on a split screen may make some good fun nights, but maybe not.
