hoyoho rates this game: 2/5In the late 21st century, the world's civilizations are wiped out by a series of nuclear strikes, caused by a network of satellites created by North America that have the task of protecting the US from any nuclear threat, known as NASDA. While most of the survivors form scavenger bands to survive, one group of people, who refer to themselves as "The Project", seeks to rebuild civilization using pre-war technology.
The game begins with The Project sending three teams (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) to gather technology that would help with reconstruction; the player assumes command of Team Alpha in Arizona. While gathering said "artifacts", the Project fends off attacks from an organization called the New Paradigm, another major survivalist organisation, which is more advanced than the player's forces. Later however, it is discovered that a self-aware computer parasite named 'Nexus' is actually controlling the New Paradigm.
After the player defeats the New Paradigm, Nexus vows revenge, and begins attacks on Team Beta, which is based in an urban zone in the Eastern Sector. Again, the player starts out less advanced than 'The Collective'. It is again discovered that Nexus is controlling this faction too. At the end of the campaign, Nexus launches nuclear missiles at Alpha and Beta bases, prompting the player to abandon the facility in the final mission of the second campaign.
In the final campaign, the player fights Nexus head on. After the player discovers that most of Gamma Team has been 'absorbed' by Nexus, it takes control of the remaining NASDA satellites and attempts to destroy the player. However, before he can succeed, the Project captures a NASDA missile site, and shoots down the orbiting laser weapons. At this point, the three Project teams unite, and launch a full-scale assault on Nexus. It is learned that the scientist Dr. Reed, who was bankrupted by the US military, created the Nexus parasite and used it to begin the nuclear attack on Earth, by infiltrating the 'NASDA' systems. The three teams destroy Nexus and begin rebuilding civilization.
However, in the final cinematic, one of the remaining NASDA sites is shown contacting an object in orbit, while Nexus' laugh can be heard.
Dave_Dave rates this game: 2/5Warzone 2100 Is an Real Time Strategy game originally for the PC, released in 1999. You play as the commander of "the project" as you rebuild society... and find out what REALLY happened on the day society ended. The Playstation port is easily the worst version of the game. The controller, and the system, was not designed to play these types of games. The game caps you at twenty units for your team, and the controls take time to learn. Unless you play with a Playstation Mouse, I highly recommend looking elsewhere for this game. I hear that it's open source, nowadays...
