After the American army recently launched a tax-funded video game as a new recruitment tool, the British government has been busy making their own game. Not to be outdone by their counterparts across the pond, Labour have decided to create a startlingly realistic First Person Shooter in order to gain more voters. Tentatively labelled "Labour's Legions", this groundbreaking PC title was unveiled early this morning by representatives of Tony Blair himself.
Instead of the traditional setting of these games (deserts, jungles, corridors filled with terrorists), Labour's Legions will take place in dreary Kent, boasting vast parks full of old men walking dogs, and 14 year olds sniffing glue behind the trees. There will also be realistic weather effects such as rain, more rain and not so much rain as the first time to make it seem just like London.
Also, rather than shooting people you will have to hand them those annoying leaflets with the local MP on them, hoping to gain their trust and votes. A smart feature will allow you to go back to visit these characters and get them to help you with your mission objectives.
These objectives are of course varied, challenging, and exciting. On the first level you will have to break into the house of your smarmy neighbour (who votes Tory), and convert his wife and children. The stealth elements exhibited on this, the only level playable on the demo, were nothing short of spectacular.
We are also told that later on in the game you will have other missions, such as getting that smarmy Tory git next door to vote Labour, goading the local press into taking pictures of you whilst you kiss babies, and later on, even protecting the Prime Minister Tony Blair. We are promised that there will also be at least three different ways to complete the level, and multiple endings.
Another interesting addition is the online deathmatch mode. Via the Labour.net servers you will be able to compose teams of up to 16 players in order to win the most voters on one of the dozens of maps. Also included in the free-to-download package will be modding tools, so that the player can create his own little place in Kent.
As yet, there is no scheduled release date for Labour's Legions, but from the code displayed so far, this could be the greatest game ever made on any format EVER. The graphical detail is astonishing; you can read road signs, see the labels on the voters' ties, and even the specks of dandruff stuck in your compatriots' side partings. The Quake III engine that Labour's Legions is based around shows no signs of letting up, with slow and methodical gameplay looking to blast not only America's Army, but the likes of Unreal Tournament 2003, out of the water.
