Nanotech has infested Majesco?s sci-fi third-person action/RPG. Damn those Illuminati!
Black9?s concept is definitely there: You?re a mercenary in a third-person action/stealth/RPG world, taking on missions for Illuminati-owned sci-fi megacorporations. You?re augmented with nanotech, loaded to the gills with weapons and gadgets like jet packs, and committed to figuring out the best way around potentially sticky situations, Deus Ex?style?even if it means going in no guns blazin?. The character development options are vast, and the game lets you grow specialized personas for the squad-based multiplayer modes. But the package isn?t quite yet complete?in the latest preview build, the frame rate was still jumpy, the control stiff, and the complex behavioral A.I. problematic. Developer Taldren is trying to cram lots of cool different gameplay into Black9. Hopefully, ambition doesn?t topple the Illuminati?s game.
