The Story
Something devastating is about to happen: the world is about to be unified under one oppressive governing body - The New Order Nation - a corrupt alliance of government and big business, set on crushing today's youth and destroying anything that's at all fun. It's a gruesome regime, held under the iron rule of Headmistress Helga, a vicious vamp whose obvious attractions are truly fatal, and enforced by battalions of evil, leather-clad troops.
As the story unfolds, you learn that America's premier rock band, Aerosmith, have been abducted from the hottest club in Los Angeles, Club X, by NON forces, and that this is just the beginning. Their message is clear: the party's over. It's now up to you. You're the only one who can stop the destruction; and music is your weapon.
Surrounded by enemy helicopters and armored personnel carriers brimming with psychotic New Order storm troopers wielding some really wicked weaponry, it's gonna take a lot of shooting to fight your way out of this one.
Take aim with your sonic assault weapon - the auto-load multi-CD launcher - and blast the @#!* out of these treacherous tyrants to restore life as we know it.
It's a roller-coaster ride through some extremely tough scenarios as you uncover what's really going on at the Evergreen Chemical Company in the heart of the Amazon Jungle, battle to stop the bus that's taking people to Brainwash Central to reorient them for the new society, and conquer KemmiTech where they're making mind-altering drugs. All must be destroyed while you search for Aerosmith and help to set them free for a celebratory concert at London's Wembley Stadium.
There are hidden obstacles at every turn. Skeletons in every closet. Whatever you do, don't give up.
Los Angeles, Club X
It's almost show time at Club X. The band is getting ready to go on-stage. Security are waiting to open the doors. The excitement is building, when suddenly, out of nowhere, you hear the ominous whir of an assault helicopter. Tension rises. In no time at all they've taken over. The New Order, dedicated to stopping fun in all forms, has seized power.
Watch out for the enemy transporter - it's tough to stop. Once you're inside the club, check out the bathroom - it's full of surprises. The lobby is swarming with NON droogs. Try to make your way into the bar and free the girls. Aerosmith are ready to rock, but the New Order are trying to cancel the show. You've got to fight back with everything you've got. The backstage scene is brutal.
Helicopter Joyride
The New Order have succeeded in capturing Aerosmith. Your task is to hijack a NON helicopter and take off in search of the band's car, with an enemy chopper in hot pursuit. Load up on pickups wherever you can - you'll need them to exterminate the troops that are following you.
Where you go from here is up to you... Once you've destroyed the chopper and found Aerosmith's car, you have to decide where to take the flight next. There are three different scenarios. You need to master all of them in order to help save the world from eternal misery.
Middle East
By now you'll have realized that the New Order Nation will go to any lengths to retain their tenuous grip on power - even if this means mass brain-washing the youth of today. Stop the Express Bus that ferries kids to Brainwash Central, the Teen Re-orientation camp where they turn them into senseless drones, willing to execute others on command.
First, free as many captives as you can. Then blast the bus back to the stone age. En route, try to solve the riddle of the Sphinx. To speed up or slow down, shoot at the buttons on the top left and right of the screen.
Pacific Rim
KemmiTech is yet another front for the NON. This warehouse facility, on an island out in the Pacific Rim, is where their mind-altering chemicals are manufactured and stored. It's crawling with ninjas and yellow jackets - so don't let up on the trigger. You need to find your way around the warehouse, keeping an eye out for hidden advantages. Once you've cleared the place, it's time to visit the executive suites. When you get there, you'll find that the head honcho is a really nasty piece of work.
Wembley Stadium
Finally! You've beaten them at their own game. Aerosmith is free. Now it's time to celebrate with a sold-out concert at London's Wembley Stadium. But not just yet... Your task is to shoot down the on-stage video monitors to get to Headmistress Helga, who's lurking behind them in the hopes of salvaging her miserable life and the New Order Nation.
Now it's time to go one-on-one and find out what she's really made of (and it ain't pretty). All your fighting skills will be needed for this last brutal battle. Dig deep. Rally one more time and the pay-off will be handsome - the party of a lifetime.
