ET Sentient beings come to the conclusion, at some point in their existence, that life is suffering. This existential absurdity sends most people into a tailspin, and was probably the major impetus for the creation of world religions.

To restore order, LAPD has enlisted the help of Future Cop, aka X-1 Alpha, the most sophisticated machine to ever cruise city streets. X-1 Alpha packs enough firepower to make even an action movie hero blush. Not only can this behemoth lumber down city streets and dark alleys, X-1 Alpha can also transform into a hovercraft and dispense justice from the air. Either mode by itself would make an excellent game, but having both is like having two games in one.
