Just try it - Khaeon did to come up with Alpha Black Zero, a futuristic team-based stealth/shooter that follows the exploits of an interplanetary anti-colonialist terrorist squad. The storyline is actually pretty decent but the visuals are ugly as sin, so really, this is one tactical shooter that can easily be left on the shelf in favor of better games.Stick a number, a colour and a letter from the Greek alphabet together and you get the name of an elite combat squad. However, you soon discover a number of elements which bring things down, such as the over-long levels, the wonky AI, the disorienting level design and so on. ABZ could have been a perfectly decent addition to the genre and indeed, for a while at least, it provides some serviceable action thrills.
There's also a five-player co-op mode available so you can team up with your chums. You can switch between squad members at will, while issuing orders to the others, and who can be one of three classes, standard, heavy or stealth. What follows is a squad-based shooter which features expansion outdoor environments which see you completing a series of missions as you progress the narrative. Through a series of flashback missions, you'll find out how the lieutenant has got caught up in a massive conspiracy and hopefully say his name from being tarnished forever. You take the role of a lieutenant in a specialized commando unit who has been accused of assassinating members of the government.
The game is set in 2366 on the planet Qahira, formerly known as Mars, and which is governed by the SolGov Federation. Although Alpha Black Zero sounds like a promising mix of science fiction, Rainbow Six and SOCOM, it unfortunately proves to be a bit of a dud and is only really worth investigating if you desperately need another tactical shooter in your life.
