Summary
In BlowOut, gamers assume the role of Major John 'Dutch' Cane, a leader of a mercenary commando platoon, fighting against the deadliest enemies the universe has ever seen. A U.S. Marine Space Force headquarters has been overrun by the vicious mutant Xenomorphs, leaving a gap in the operational defenses. Gamers must use specialised sensor equipment and massive firepower to locate and take out the enemy before they have a chance to zero in on the station's control center and threaten colonised space.
To do so, players will need the full complement of BlowOut weapons that increase in firepower and accuracy as the game progresses. So as to create a believable environment, the weapons and ammo must be recovered from weapon stashes, dead soldiers, or secret arenas.
Expanding the fun is BlowOut's level editor which empowers gamers to create their own personal gaming experience. The integrated and easy-to-use editor enhances the game's lifespan, and provides peer-to-peer interaction by stimulating the sharing of creative content. With the online community a key component of the game, Majesco is planning to launch a dedicated BlowOut web site through which gamers can share user-created levels, or download pre-designed levels from the developer, as well as artwork and game tips.
