All action joystick bending combat for those with the skill to survive! LOS ANGELES 1999 Special assignments. Get your squad together. A terrorist group has taken over the West side of L.A. Get in there and clear the streets. Bring out any hostages you find - ALIVE this time. All civilians are supposed to have cleared the area, but there's always a few who don't make it out. Try and not blow too many away eh? We are talking surgical strike here, guys. Nice and clean. No complications and no foul-ups. Let's do the uniform proud. Go for it. PLAYING THE GAME The aim is to save the hostages being held by the gangs. To reach them you must steer your squad through the streets defending yourselves against attack until you reach the junctions where the gang leader is holding the civilians. Try to stay alive, wipe out the terrorists and not shoot the victims or civilians. Couldn't be easier. On the way up the street you may just happen to notice that the gangs have grenades, which they keep lobbing at your team leader. Try to anticipate where it will land and move him away. Everything keys off the leader. Gang members will go for him, snipers take pot-shots at him and the grenades always fall his way! Once he gets taken out, another team member will take over. Keep going forward and don't let the baddies get behind you. They have a particularly nasty way of neutralising SWAT teams if they get too close...
