Product Description

Product Description

In Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn, you're a lone NATO soldier sent in to take down a hijacked train on its way from St. Petersburg to deliver a terrorist nuclear bomb to the heart of Paris. Also on board is a kidnapped ambassador, whom you must save. Will you be able to save both the ambassador and Paris? Since the game has a number of possible endings based on your actions, it's entirely up to you. You'll have to engage in combat along several sections of the 19-car train, including the cars' icy roofs. You'll also have to evade high-tech traps and search computers, desks, and the clothing of dead bodies for clues to the location of the terrorists' stronghold. While you're searching for clues, be sure to pick up any of the assault rifles, grenade launchers, or other high-power weaponry you come across--you'll need it for many of the tasks ahead, such as bringing down enemy helicopters. Complete minigames and solve puzzles inside the train to view prerendered scenes that advance the story and bring you closer to mission success.

Product Description

The terrorist organization known as The Knights of the Apocalypse has captured a heavily armored military train called Blue Harvest. But they aren't after any weapons they want the French Ambassador and his family, who happen to be on board the train. You take the role of Jack Morton, the only surviving member of the train's crew, as you attempt to protect the Ambassador from the terrorists. You'll have to travel through more than a dozen train cars, each with multiple levels as you hunt down the evil thugs. Along the way you will also have to solve a variety of puzzles and master three unique mini-games to succeed. When you encounter a terrorist, you can take them out with one of 10 military weapons. For double the terrorist-stopping power, you can also equip a gun in each hand and target two separate enemies at once. Only you can help Morton save Europe and the French Ambassador in COVERT OPS: Nuclear Dawn.

* Large number of areas to explore

4.0 out of 5 stars Troy's professional opinion, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Even though this game has a rating of Mature, it should be very appealing to younger gamers. The controls are simple, though if you're an older gamer, watch out(you may feel a little limited). You can crouch, roll left or right, spin around(180 degrees), use the action button to climb or jump from train to train and you can also use triangle to look around, without being noticed(You can also run). Though do not be fooled, for you cannot strafe. Your crosshair can only allow you to hit the ennemy in one certain area, which gets you annoyed after a while. It is occasionally hard to angle your person properly in order to get the crosshair on the ennemy.

The graphics are very nice and you person actually has a normal face.

The sound is a little old, though the music helps set the mood.

Fans of metal gear solid and the resident evil series, would like this game. It mixes the memos, the inventory and the puzzles of resident evil with the stealth, action(punching also) and radio of metal gear.

There are 7 different endings to keep you playing through 3 difficulties. There are also little surprises when you finish the game with the appropriate ending.

Very fun game.(4/5 is not my rating.I give this game a nice 8.2/10)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The movies in the game are action packed and full of excitement. However, the faces look like acid was thrown on them. Now in the game, nothing could be better. The graphics are clean, no acid faces, the control is like Resident Evil but you don't have to hold R2 to point the gun. It does it automatically. He holds it like Snake Solid on Metal Gear Solid. In a review I saw, they said there WAS an option to turn OFF THE BLOOD. If you like the armed forces then I highly recommend it. This game is so action packed, you'll have to go to bed early cause it'll wear you out. (not literaly)But I do highly recommend this game for everyone.

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Well originally Metal Gear Solid was my favorite game then i went out and ordered this hard to find game. It turned out to be my favorite game. There is a little bit less action then Metal Gear but every time there is action there is usually alot of it. The problems are hard to figure out because there are many individual itmes you may miss. It has a great story line. The best mini games like shooting down helicopters or driving a train. You also get to disarm nuclear warheads. This game may seem to have annoying controls but once you get used to them they're really good. It has about 5 or 7 different endings on 3 difficulties. The game includes many very cool cutscenes throughout it and features about 10 weapons. Some of the weapons are your pistol like the one shown on the cover an MP5 machine gun, Grenades, an Assult Rifle, and many more. The music sets the tone in the whole game and they always scare you somehow whether its a frozen body or a badguy sneakin up behind you or even a badguy jsut yelling at you this game i give a rating of 5 STARS and is a definite buyer for all the poeple that enjoyed Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil or Syphon Filter.
