You take control of this character with all possible imaginable guns and weapons, and then you have to overtake Special Reserve HQ.
Its very easy to begin with, getting past the underground sewer guards and Special Reserve guard dogs (poodles). Then as you progress through the game you get higher and higher into the Special Reserve building. The object of the game is to navigate to the very top of the building into the top office where KinG T lives. His full name which you find out in the mission status is 'Kill Tony Rainbird'.
The game is very much like Goldeneye, but with much better visuals and the buildings etc... in one of the rooms you see the independent server for placing a Dan2k1 topic on the net, then in another seperate office on a higher floor there is a 'Sarcastic Goatboy Server'.... no idea what this does yet, great thing is you can operate these and then at any computer terminal you can go online and chat in these very forums.
There are three bosses in the game, Ali, Darkus and King T.
Ali is very hard, he has Joe at the side of him helping reload his guns, you have to take out Joe first by shooting his umbilical cord which is attached to Ali's foot. Then you just pick away at Ali. If anyone has ever played Ocarina of Time you will remember a Dark Zelda, in this 'SR64' you have a Dark Ali. A much better and carbon copy version of Ali without the Joe, very hard to kill but when defeated with a 'LokiGun' you can go to next floor.
Darkus is different, he uses all his computers, gadgets and software boxes and literally throws them at you. Watch out for the XBox box, that can knock you out and kill you. Here is where the 'BannerGun' comes in, and with one direct shot into Darkus's eye he falls over, and the Dan2k1 server number 2 falls ontop of him.
After so many enjoyable hours playing this FPS I would easily say its my favorite game, when you reach the top floor you are standing outside King T's office (Tony Rainbird -the man of men) you feel scared.
Then it enters a great cutscene where you blow down the door and see his chair, your character then shoots rounds apon rounds into the swivel chair (believing he is in it). Then from behind you you hear a noise much alike Baron Samedi's, its the laugh of King T.....
Won't give away anymore of the game, it has to be played to be respected. However everything from the sounds of the staff to the internet options which enable you to post on here are great. You can update the game every three months, as another character and route becomes available. I always choose Sheepy, the noises he makes and the quotes like 'smells like cheese?' are classics. At the moment you can choose from nine characters. After the first completion Tony can be used.
What a game.
(This game can be purchased in most good bookshops!)
