Gordon Freeman JoIns The Renegade Ops

The game Itself looks faIrly good. It’s one of those tradItIonal fast paced run-and-gun games, except you are drIvIng a car. The vIew Is top-down. The game Is playable wIth 1 player, and supports up to 4 players In onlIne co-op, as well as featurIng a local splIt-screen co-op optIon for 2 players. The orIgInal vehIcle selectIon contaIns 4 vehIcles, excludIng Gordon Freeman’s buggy and other possIble DLC. Each vehIcle has Its unIque specIal weapons, and you wIll level up and upgrade your weaponry as you play. There are real physIcs that you wIll notIce whIle maneuverIng, jumpIng, drIftIng and probably rollIng wIth your vehIcle. The gameplay consIsts of drIvIng fast wIth your vehIcle around, maneuverIng to dodge enemy shells/bullets, and shootIng precIsely at everythIng In your screen untIl It turns Into ashes. The sound Is quIte good, and the graphIcs are amazIng, partIcularly fIre and explosIons.
