<h2><b>Shogo : Mobile Armour Division</b></h2></center>

<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.
