Story
The player first battles a few enemies along Tower Bridge, London, most of them found on distant buildings, in boats, or on the bridge itself. Afterwards, the player meets his counterpart, either Jackal or Falcon (whichever the player did not choose). According to the player's unseen commander, a bioweapons research facility on the continent has been taken over by the terrorists and its staff held hostage, including Laura, one of the scientists whom Falcon had recently been dating (and whom he finds out is also the sister of his counterpart).
The player is then sent to the research facility, and kills several snow based enemies. The player then battles the first boss, Tanya, who uses a burner to scorch the player. Afterwards, the player is sent outside the snow base, battles more enemies, then battles another boss, Fox.
Reception
The PlayStation 2 version received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen called it "a waste of anyone's time and money". In Japan, however, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.
Also in Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version on their August 15, 2000, issue as being the fourteenth most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.
