Soviet Strike PSX
Game Information
In 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".

Additional Information
The game takes place in five locales around Eastern Europe, each recreated with texture-mapped terrain based on photos of authentic landscape. Each level will require you to fulfill multiple objectives with your Super Apache chopper, ranging from disabling enemy radar to rescuing imprisoned comrades with your winch.
Your limited arsenal of weapons includes a chain gun, Hellfire missiles and Hydra rockets, but if you run out, you can destroy various structures to reveal more ammo, fuel or armor. Unlike the last two games in the Strike series (Jungle Strike and Urban Strike), you cannot switch between vehicles, so you must remain on board the chopper for the duration of the campaign.
Noteworthy additions to the series are the use of Full Motion Video (FMV) clips detailing your mission, CD quality speech and music, and access to STRIKE.net: a collection of multimedia resources including maps, intelligence reports and situational updates. In order to save your progress, the game supports both a memory card and passwords (which are provided upon the completion of a level).
