The sprawl of the urban towers are present in every screenshot, with lots of great textures on the environments and the characters. Light effects blast from the rifles and side-arms, and the ambience is very thick from gloomy, burned out factories to broken, grimy corridors that drop open into steep falls. Real-time shadows, detailed skin textures, morphing effects, and some cool mapping technology has also been packed away into Project Eden. Four people can play at a time in the squad over a network. Some of the most revealing scenes are those with the UPA in action in pursuit of some gang-bangers.
Players can waste a room easy, guns blazing.
Whether or not Project Eden will emphasis squad tactics like Rogue Spear or all-out melee action like most console action games has yet to be seen. Of course there will be time for investigating, as strange disruption occur through-out the city and into the bowels of the lower levels. Expected to release this Summer for PC and PS2, it still has to be seen whether Project Eden has what it takes to beat out some established squad games. Check out the screens to the side for an idea of what's in store. . All contents 2001 Game Maniacs .
