This game should be called Alpha Black Marathon. And most of the time, you're unable to take a direct route to the waypoint because those damn giant hills are in the way, so you jog back and forth down endless valleys like winding your way through the lines at Disneyland, hoping that the next valley you turn down will be the last.
You follow the waypoint marker on your HUD, but there's no data about how far away the waypoint is - your HUD only discloses its direction. You lead your squad of tactical warriors through one valley after the next of mostly lifeless hills. The outdoor levels, of which there are many, are huge - stretching the Serious Sam engine (upon which the game is based) to its limit. Sadly, Alpha Black Zero is all about jogging. So virtual jogging - endless trudging through hills and valleys in search of objectives that may or may not be just over the horizon - doesn't appeal to me. Personally, I hate jogging - I find it boring and tedious. At the beginning of each level the player chooses between three weapon kits: standard, heavy or stealth.You'll love Alpha Black Zero if you're into distance running. The player is able to switch between any available squad mate. It is squad-based, meaning that the protagonist is always accompanied by a team, to which commands can be issued. The game features expansive outdoor terrains and indoor levels. There are rebel groups fighting against the government and in the game's missions, which are flashbacks to what really happened, Hardlaw and his 5-man team (co-op multiplayer for up to 5 players is available) relive their espionage missions and unravel the conspiracy and treason. Lieutenant Kyle Hardlaw is the leader of a specialized commando unit called Alpha Black Zero and is accused of assassinating various members of his own government. The planet Qahira (formerly Mars) is ruled by the SolGov Federation. Alpha Black Zero: Intrepid Protocol is a tactical third-person shooter set in the year 2366.
