20 years ago a computer game captured the hearts of strategy and simulation fans. Finally there is the classic »Ports of Call« as high end game completely in 3D. All 100 harbours, as there is New York for example, have been converted three dimensional for PoC Deluxe 2008 and it allows realistic manoeuvers into and out of harbours. 15 detailed container vessels offer lots of alternation in this extensive maritime economy simulation. All elements of the former successful version have been integrated in this deluxe version. You’re starting as an owner of a tiny cargo-ship and have to stand the test of the hard navy transport business and build step by step a huge ocean carrier with lots of ships.
What seemed at first to be a simple mission has turned into a deadly game of survival. You are Joseph Turok, an ex-member of Wolf Pack, the most savage, merciless black ops squad of its time. Now you have been given a special order from Whiskey Company, an elite commando team, to capture and detain Roland Kane from his fortress on a worthless, backwater planet. Kane is an escaped war criminal, the once-legendary leader of Wolf Pack...and your former mentor. But Kane is in command of a secret paramilitary force funded by the Mendel-Gruman (M-G) Corporation. When your ship approaches the planet, you are blasted out of the sky by Kane's troops. Now you are stranded in a dangerous world. Vicious prehistoric beasts of all shapes and sizes roam the terrain, attacking anything that moves. Your teammates are either killed or scattered. Ruthless M-G forces are hunting the ones who are not dead. You have no weapons. How will you survive?
What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off
the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his
cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find
fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they
slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series
of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality
is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and
status, and is heaven for those who have them and a living nightmare
for those who dont.
Turning into the dark prince isn't just window dressing, though. In gameplay sequences in which the prince is his evil self, you'll find that you're much more powerful in combat, thanks to a new weapon called the daggertail. The daggertail is a chainlike weapon that can be swung around to attack multiple enemies, or lashed out like a whip. It also comes in handy for swinging across bars or lamp fixtures, kind of like in Bionic Commando. Unfortunately, this added power comes at a price. Much like playing as the sand wraith in Warrior Within, the dark prince loses health constantly, and it must be replenished periodically by recovering sand from defeated enemies or from breaking jars or furniture in the environment. Unlike the sand wraith, though, the dark prince doesn't get unlimited use of sand powers. The sequences in which you play as the dark prince let you be much more aggressive in combat, as health is never really a concern (you basically get recharged fully with each downed enemy), but the puzzle-solving and acrobatic sequences can be stressful because you have a time limit to get from point A to point B. Fighting as the regular prince is very similar to the previous two games in the series. You can pick up dropped weapons for use in your offhand, which lets you do more powerful weapon combos against enemies. Or you can vault off walls and poles, and even use the enemies themselves to augment your attacks. The fights are as violent as ever--you can behead or even cut enemies in half with the more powerful moves.
