Gameplay tips
If here now give at least a partial description of the passage of the whole game, then it will take about twenty pages, or even thirty, which, unfortunately, is impossible. Although I must say that the game is worth it, but you can not embrace the immensity. It's a pity! Therefore, we confine ourselves to general recommendations. The game is divided into several conventional parts.In the beginning the hero, by your diligence, wanders around the station and finds himself in various situations, from which he must emerge victorious. And on the development of the plot you are directly involved. Of course, it's good to know conversational English, but you can do without it, relying on intuition and on a scientific approach called "tyke method." Very pleased that to continue the game, in the event of a lethal outcome, you can re-practical from any passed site.Then there is a lot to fly and shoot on the newest combat vehicle TransFighter 22 - an airplane invisible. Here you must perform seven complex tasks, such as the destruction of enemy ships, submarines, cutters penetrating a protected cargo tunnel and flying through it, fighting with enemy aircraft and helicopters.At the time when you are at the station, you must actively use the sticks. Just remember that they need constant recharging and therefore do not scan often.Constantly have to solve puzzles and tasks:how to clear a bomb and disarm a grenade;how to open those or other doors;which passwords for computers and terminals;How to pass protected corridors and rooms;and in the end how to deal with the virus.In general, the whole game is interesting and very instructive. The movements of the heroes are almost ideal and almost indistinguishable from natural, the graphics are beyond praise. A lot of funny things, such as, the fall of the hero in a puddle with oil, a burn of the hand and so on. In conclusion, we will give some advice:
- At the beginning of the game, choose the easiest level of the three.
- When you get into an unfamiliar situation, do not do anything in the beginning. If this does not lead to anything good, then ponazhimayte any buttons - for example, kn. A or UP.
- With women, we must act cautiously - give what they ask and not allow to kiss (by the way, the advice is very useful in real life);
- For some doors the code is 2571;
- When you work with computers one of the codes - Einstein;
- After destroying the viruses, pay attention to the vaccine number (6.7 or 8) and enter it into the computer.
