You are PRODUCT_NAME -agent Rico Rodriguez, a CIA-agent who is sent to the small Island of San Esperito to start a revolution and bring down the current regime under the rule of General Salvador Mendoza.
After you jumped out of the airplane and helped your local contact survive an attack by gang members, you have - much like PRODUCT_NAME : San Andreas - the freedom to do what you want. The complete island is accessible from the beginning and you can either follow the main storyline, engage in side-missions, or collect items all over the place. To help the revolution you can also drive the government out of the individual sectors on the island. This is accomplished by a three-stages fight in which you have to go up against a huge army of government forces.
As a fully trained agent, Rico can also perform many stunts. He has always an parachute equipped which he can open whenever he has enough speed. So he often uses cars or bikes as a jump-pad and then sails smoothly into the sunset.
But of course he cannot impress the evil regime with that, so he also has access to a wide range of weapons from pistols with unlimited ammo to rocket launchers and machine guns. Rico is also trained to drive everything that has an engine, from a normal bike to a fully-armed military helicopter.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players take on the role of an operative in the fictional nation of San Esperito. The premise involves a recent coup, a new tyrannical president, and a burgeoning rebellion. Players will engage in insurgency tactics, liberate areas, and complete missions for rebel factions to earn prestige and advance their cause.
Story
The Black Hand of President Mendoza
Last week, a violent uprising in San Esperito's capital led to a coup, with military forces storming the Parliament building. Chaos and gunfire spread through the streets over a weekend of violence.
General Salvador Mendoza, leader of the uprising, is now the new president. His government claims to have "freed the nation from a pack of vultures feeding off the corpse of the national constitution."
Since becoming president, Mendoza has brought in "foreign security specialists" to subdue uprisings in unstable regions. When asked if these specialists were mercenaries, he responded, "I will not stand by idly as parasitic motherless dogs pillage my country."
U.S. Government Dossier Disclosed
A U.S. government dossier containing secret agency information was discovered this week. Security services are working to establish its source.
U.S. chiefs confirmed that a Top Secret U.S. Government Agency operative was arrested for contravening the Official Secrets Act and released pending further inquiries. More arrests are expected as the largest spy hunt in the U.S. in years continues.
El Presidente: U.S. Guilty of "Blatant Interference"
President Mendoza has accused the U.S. of supporting rebel causes. He stood firm against U.S. pressure to permit United Nations checks of his anti-drugs program.
Mendoza accused Americans of "blatant interference" after the U.S. hinted at its support for the rebels. The U.S. dismissed Mendoza's claims as "paranoid propaganda."
Violence in Provincia Mirasoles
Violence erupted in the village of Media Luna, Provincia Mirasoles, with clashes between Guerrilla forces (The People's Revolutionary Army of San Esperito - P.R.A.S.E.) and Mendoza's militia leaving five dead.
Revolutionary leader José Caramicas stated, "Mendoza is a rabid dog that should be put to death. We will not rest until our people are free."
Starting an Insurgency
Caramicas explained how to start an insurgency in Government-controlled settlements:
•
Start an attack on the defending forces (police/army).
•
Find a Guerrilla (green, icon) on the minimap.
•
Press the button when you see the action icon (page 9).
•
Kill the Government forces to liberate the area and earn rewards and prestige points.
Following angry demonstrations, Government soldiers have occupied the area to deal forcibly with further uprisings. President Mendoza condemned the attack in Media Luna as the work of "rebel looters" and stated, "This behavior will not be tolerated."

Caramicas Jailed
José Caramicas, leader of The Peoples Revolutionary Army, was sentenced to El Grande Fort, the Government's penal institution. President Mendoza defended the verdict, saying, "The sentencing of this terrorist will end rebel violence!"
Caramicas' sister, Esperanza, called for a fair hearing, believing her brother is a victim of political conspiracy. She has appealed to the United States to intervene, and U.S. intelligence agencies are rumored to be monitoring the situation.
Caramicas, a popular hero in many provinces, will be escorted to the Fort under armed guard. Esperanza believes her brother's life will be in danger once he arrives at the prison.
