In a world where the Soviet Union won the Cold War, a fierce conflict is beginning to unfold in the streets of America. Red Army troops are pouring across the borders of Mexico and Canada shortly after a nuclear missile is unleashed on Washington D.C. Chaos sets in when breaking news informs Americans that their President has been killed and the Russians have invaded the country.

You take on the role of Christopher Walker, a man who evolves into a charismatic and fearless freedom fighter obsessed with finding and freeing his brother in the streets of occupied New York City.

Looks like the capitalist version of Red Faction or something.

Kind of funny, IMO.

I'll buy it, if I get to play as the Red Army. But yeah; an inverse Red Faction.

Hmm oh well its a shame videogame devolpers feel the need to think up such fantastical plots just to please red neck americans who wouldnt know how to spell communism. But i will buy the game if it gets some good reviews, it will be worth it just to hear the amazingly poor russian accents that will doughtlessly be included.

“red neck americans who wouldnt know how to spell communism.”

These ‘red neck Americans’ are obviously so different from yourself, a fellow who seemingly has quite a bit of difficulty spelling “doubtlessly.”

Why are you giving MDP shit man he has been on the frontlines in keeping authoritarians and such from being persecuted and banned even if he disagrees with them, i think you get the point he was trying to make Thursday.

Is Christohper Walker searching for his brother out of pure love and sentimentality, or is he driven by the overwhleming power of market forces?

Are you just here to stereotype americans, you bad teeth havin', beef boilin'. queen worshippin', no sun shining, pasty faced, sickly looking, bad food havin', prissy prissy girly puss-boy brit?

Brits have to be the world's biggest pussies (except for the french, but not by much)

Hehe owww touched a nerve!! Musta caught some people during the break of "LIVE DEATH ROW EXERCUTIONS!! bought to you by live ammo the only way to kill those pesky trespassers!" Sorry its just i feel games companies cater to a supposed US market too much they should have a little more backbone and go out on a limb and try and have plots that dont involve Communist/islamic terrorist (prime example SoF). And anyway way should you be offended if you arent one, damn foo!

JUST SHUT UP NOW!

That game looks interesting. Kinda touching on what Westwood did earlier in C&C Red Alert.

If that game would be realistic then you would easily be defeated by American forces in the 1st level.
