Acclaim release Armorines: Prject S.W.A.R.M for PlayStation.
Save The Planet From Insect Invasion In Acclaim's Armorines in Project S.W.A.R.M for PlayStation.
Join the Fight on the PlayStation* Game Console This Spring.
GLEN COVE, N.Y. (May 4, 2000) - Acclaim Entertainment (NASDAQ: AKLM), a leading interactive entertainment company, today announced that Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M for the PlayStation* game console will arrive in stores beginning today. Based on an original Acclaim comics' property, Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M is a first-person action game that centers on an elite fighting force of Marines charged with saving the world from an invading swarm of immense alien insects bent on colonizing Earth.
"Armorines in Project S.W.A.R.M takes 3D PlayStation games in a new direction by being one of the first to feature mission-based cooperative gameplay," said Evan Stein, marketing director at Acclaim Entertainment. "This attribute allows for unlimited replayability, and gamers can look forward to never playing missions the same way twice!"
The Armorines storyline is set in 21st Century Earth and centers on an alien race fighting for survival, as their home planet can no longer support them. Looking to the stars for the answer, the aliens discovered a small green and blue planet that was too good to be true. Undetected by humans, breeding pods carrying the aliens landed on Earth and began to colonize the planet. Earth's own military forces are powerless against the aliens due to the deadly toxins emitted by this horrific enemy. Humans have resorted to their last hope in the fight to save Earth from alien colonization - an elite military team wearing a highly advanced suit of armor.
Gamers will journey with one of two Armorines characters, Private Lewis and Private Lane, through multiple environments and secret worlds including: a Siberian Military base, where gamers must battle pollution and a heavy onslaught of alien bugs; the South American Jungle, where jungle bugs abound in an ancient Inca settlement; a Volcanic Island, where alien creatures must be eradicated from the depths of a steaming, lava-ridden volcano; the Egyptian Desert, where gamers confront alien bugs in the Valley of The Kings; and the Alien Hive, which features an asteroid-like spacecraft that carries thousands of alien insects to Earth. As players complete each level, additional secret worlds with tougher alien opponents will be revealed.
Armorines In Project S.W.A.R.M also features a wide range of multiplayer options including an outstanding co-operative mode that allows gamers to grab a friend and play single player missions in split screen mode. Enlistees will have to survive much tougher missions and incredibly clever alien attacks in order to prevail.
Armorines In Project S.W.A.R.M will be supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign that will reach hard-core gamers and the mass market alike. A multifaceted print campaign, begun months ago, is in place in all gaming publications and an online banner program on key gaming sites is also planned. The Acclaim.com site will feature key story and character information, screenshots, enemies, Quicktime videos, comic art and other appropriate news and facts about Armorines.
