Dude, this is AWESOME! During its Gamer Night event in San Fran, Konami has announced Rush’ N Attack Ex-Patriot, a modern day adaptation of the classic title that will be coming our way this Fall for both XBLA and PSN. WOOT!
The description of the game is as follows:
At the height of the Cold War, the CIA discovered that the Russians have found a never-before-seen material used to create devastating nuclear missiles so the CIA formed a secret branch called “Harvest” to infiltrate and investigate the Soviet weapons program. The Cold War soon ends without a bang and the operation is discontinued. Decades later, new operative Sergeant Sid Morrow, call sign “Wolf Spider”, is tasked with retrieving an abandoned member of Harvest, re-evaluating the missile threat, and sabotaging it if necessary.
In Rush‘N Attack Ex-Patriot, a clandestine struggle exists between Russia and the United States for military intelligence during the shadows of the Cold War. Through three massive environments of a Siberian prison complex, a bio-weapons laboratory, and a nuclear weapons base players will need to complete a variety of missions and survive encounters with elite Russian soldiers.
Players choose their own gameplay style by moving through each level loud and fast or silent and deadly. As they find themselves almost always outnumbered, players must avoid constant detection from the vigilant guards and the unblinking eyes of security cameras. Armed with a little more than a knife, the players will have to scrounge for weapons and supplies to survive as they are truly behind enemy lines.
Key Features:
Stealth Combat Action – Using both stealth and brute force, players will escape from their imprisonment with a new level of action
Fast Paced Platforming – Stay sharp and move quickly as you progress towards your objectives through challenging platforming
Massive Levels – Fight your way through three environments with multiple levels full of hidden items, secret locations, and relentless soldiers trying to track you down
Killer Graphics – Built on the Unreal Engine, players will have a visual feast that is unparalleled in other downloadable games
