Fun fact: 'On a Rail' was originally supposed to involve a player-controlled vehicle (not just a tram), but they couldn't get it to work in that ye olde engine. The concept made it into Half-Life 2 and resulted in some of the most interesting and unique chapters. 'Highway 17' reminds me of Damnation Alley (which predates Mad Max).

To be fair to the game, there actually is a small underground rail system under the capital. It does not look anything like the "On A Rail" styled level though.
I actually feel like this is possibly Cauldron's best game they ever made. Granted, that's not really worth a whole lot when it comes to them, but this game actually has a surprising number of mechanics and features that kinda help to create a slightly more in-depth experience. You have things like bomb defusing sections, hacking mini games, tripwire laser bombs you can only see with night vision goggles, and levels where you can only incapacitate enemies instead of killing them outright.

When I was a kid and visited the White House the metal detector in the line I was in happened to be broken that day. It was a good thing, too, because my dad bought me my first pocket knife that morning, I forgot to leave it behind in my excitement, and even kids my age in the next line over were being pulled aside to get wanded for the buttons on their jeans along with everyone else who made that other detector beep, with only sheer luck seeing me through to the other side (though it was common sense that kept my mouth shut and to not tell them my side's was broken or how I knew). This game shows exactly what I believed was going to happen the entire time I was waiting in line, sweating bullets during the lead up, planning how I was either going to fight my way out or punch my ticket to Valhalla. I was what those guys had trained for, or just about, and here it seems like pretty much what you are getting to play against. Sure it's shown from the other perspective, and I was ten, but the attention to realism here, at least according to what might be conjured up in a child's imagination while stuck in one of the most simultaneously harrowing and lucky situations of his life, is what really impressed me about it. If they'd found that knife it would have been pure bedlam, and now having seen this, whether a blessing or a curse, I don't have to imagine anymore how it would have gone down.
Oh my god. This game is horrible... I still don't understand how Activision published these... Even worse than this is probably Soldier of Fortune: Payback. So if you wanna torture yourself, play that. Edit: I just looked it up and Cauldron actually made both of them...
Because that always was what activion does they buy game compagny force them to make there game look like CoD then when the lost to much money they just shut down the compagny
These kind of games were assigned to the Activision Value publishing brand. These games are so cheap to make and requires no marketing at all. They just put them into stores and theyre turning in nice profits from uninformed parents buying games or clueless young kids.
All of these were basically dirt cheap budget titles that required almost no money to make. They were basically the bargain knockoff versions of Activision's Call Of Duty franchise.
From what I understand from the in-game story, they're just a bunch of paramilitary thugs from Costa Santava, so they'd probably be wearing different outfits from each other.
I remember this game! Almost forgot about it. But I have a very clear memory of getting an achievement for emptying an entire magazine without hitting anything.
Holy crap, so this is what it was called. I played this a LONG while back, and forgot the name of it today, but for some reason I fell in love with it. It was my very first FPS game and I just loved it. Thank you for reminding me what it was called.
I actually did play Goldeneye 64 in paintball mode briefly as a kid to placate my parents who were worried about the effect of graphic video game violence on me. The funniest thing was using dual Moonraker lasers with the all guns and infinite ammo cheats on, they still left tye-dye paint splotches everywhere. 😂
