- <p><br>
- <h4>Price - £34.95</h4>

- <h4>Introduction</h4>
- <p>
- "Shogo: Mobile Armor Division" is a first-person shooter
- with a difference. It draws its inspiration from such anime
- classics (Japanese animation) as "Macross" (aka "Robotech")
- and "Gundam", not only because it allows you to do battle
- in a 10 meters tall robot but also because the game actually
- has a credible plot that unfolds as you progress in the game.
- <p>
- In Shogo you play Sanjuro, a hotshot commander caught in the
- middle of a war against a terrorist organisation that cost
- him his family and his girl-friend. As the plot develops,
- you will find out that not everything is as you thought it
- was. But make no mistake: Shogo is all about furious 3D
- action.
- <p>
- Some sections of the game have to be traversed on foot
- whilst other sections can only be completed with the aid of
- a Mobile Combat Armor unit, a 10 meters tall metal suit that
- packs some really amazing fire-power such as a laser-cannon
- and a multi-warhead launcher. In true anime fashion, the
- MCA's are extremely maneuverable and it's great fun to
- squash a foot-soldier now and then, but just remember to
- make a run for it when you're the one on foot...
- <p>
- Shogo uses Monolith's LithTechTM 3D engine which is every
- bit as advanced (if not more so) as the Quake IITM engine
- from ID. You will immediately notice the difference: the
- explosions, the gore and the particle and lighting effects
- are like nothing else out there. The LithTech engine will
- let you enjoy convincing indoor and outdoor scenery as you
- do battle in your MCA with enemy tanks or traverse an
- abandoned city on foot.
- <p>
- A lot of attention was given to the weapons: a satisfying
- high-tech mix of energy and ballistic weapons ranging from
- pistols and machine guns when you are on foot, to laser
- cannons and multi-warhead launchers when you are aboard the
- MCA.
- <p>
- Shogo's soundtrack is subtle and effective and adapts to the
- onscreen action and many of the soundeffects are pulled
- straight from anime series and are very convincing. Moreover,
- Shogo features a lot of high-quality speech throughout the game
- driving the plot and bringing the characters to life.
- <p>
- Whilst Shogo is perfectly enjoyable as a single-player game,
- those of you interested in multi-player action are catered for
- too with full support for network play.
