Fight fight fight for survival vival vival on a planet planet planet whose surface surface surface is alive alive alive in Alter Alter Alter Echo Echo Echo from THQ Q Q.
Nevin, the reluctant hero of Alter Echo, is in for a long fight. It seems his planet has gone mad, spawning many an enemy from its living surface. Luckily, Nevin is equipped with a PolySuit that allows him to morph into three distinct forms: Melee Mode for standard hand-to-hand, Stealth Mode for invisibility and wall-climbing, and Gun Mode for pretending to be Megatron (Gun Mode transforms Nevin into a cannon-toting giant). In a nod to the awesomeness of Max Payne?s Bullet Time, AE will feature Time Dilation, which will allow the player to manipulate time to their advantage by freezing the action, letting you line up a raging combo to annihilate your foes. Developer Outrage is also boasting that its new PostFX camera system will deliver spectacular visual effects, though we?ll have to wait till 2003 (when the game hits for both Xbox and PS2) to see if Alter Echo turns its pioneering technology into engaging game play. So far it looks like they?re on the right track.
