When a Russian double agent reveals the existence of Red Mercury, a substance that can be used to make nuclear devices the size of a backpack, the NSA is forced to dip into its pool of elite secret agents to keep the world safe from impending destruction. Shadow Ops: Red Mercury will provide a wide variety of first person action, with 20 missions ranging from hostage rescue to demolition and VIP bodyguard duty?all for the sake of keeping Red Mercury out of the wrong hands. Xbox Live multiplayer will expand the game further, allowing up to 16 players to participate in tried and true gameplay modes, such as VIP escort/assassination, Capture the Flag, and Plant the Bomb.Zombie Studios is using the good old Unreal engine to bring Shadow Ops to life, using motion captured animation and photorealistic faces from real special forces teams to try and make the game feel as realistic as possible, while Hollywood sound studio Soundelux has been enlisted to try and bring the game to a higher level of sound quality and design. In a market overcrowded by special forces action games, can Shadow Ops carve out its niche?
