Story

December 24, 2200; The Delta Foundation, a weapons research company, developed a new cyborg soldier. The U.S. President was told that if the government did not buy it within the week, they would sell it to another government, which would pose a threat if it fell into the hands of a hostile government. Nova is given a secret mission from the U.S. Department of Defense to destroy the Delta Foundation.

Reception

In Electronic Gaming Monthly, reviewers wanted further variety in gameplay to help the game stand out and questioned making a sequel to a game that felt was mediocre in the first place.
