Press release May 2000 - cont
12 exotic and specially fitted fighting planes "Crimson Skies" lets players take to the skies in the most outrageous collection of air-combat craft and high-caliber weapons ever assembled. Players fly fighter-craft including the nitrogen-charged Whitley and Douglas Raven fighter-bomber, the buzzing and whirring air gyro, and the latest Hughes Aircraft prototypes. While the focus is on fantasy over fact, many of the planes in the "Crimson Skies" universe are actually modeled after real experimental aircraft of the era. New fighter prototypes to steal and reverse-engineer As the commander of an air pirate wing, gamers will need to be constantly on the lookout for new fighter designs to strengthen their forces. Through Nathan Zachary’s underworld network of contacts, "Crimson Skies" players learn about the newest fighter designs to snatch from unsuspecting targets and reverse-engineer. Personal scrapbook for aerial exploits Each mission in "Crimson Skies" is replete with primary and secondary objectives. Gamers will be constantly challenged to see how many snapshots and headlines they can amass in the course of their adventures. A personalizable memoir highlights their deeds and the unique mementos they’ve gathered in encounters with other characters. Dodge flak and go zeppelin to zeppelin in online multiplayer combat "Crimson Skies" comes fully multiplayer-ready via the MSNTMGaming Zone, so players can choose to play one-on-one with a friend, fly squadron-on-squadron with a group, or tackle humans-vs.-artificial-intelligence matches. |
