In addition, hitting the triangle button gives you a split screen view with the top half acting as a rear-view mirror. Most of the vehicles also have their own special animations, like gunners that pop up and fire from turrets, when new weapons are loaded or fired. Sweet Tooth's special weapon has his vehicle completely transform into a mech-like vehicle with a devastating multiple rocket attack. However, he couldn't specify the track just yet. For instance, the longer you keep an enemy in your sights, the bigger the damage you'll do when you hit the fire button to launch your skill missiles.
Environmental weapons are also new.
When you pick up an Environment Weapon, you can order an AI element, like helicopters flying around a level to attack your enemies. The freeze attack is also back, but now you can try to escape out of your frozen block of ice sooner by mashing on the X button. The game is coming together well, and should shape up into a must-have for PS2 action fans when it ships in June. An AOL Time Warner Company. All Rights Reserved.
