  • Summary: The year is 2366, and the Solgov federation faces turmoil. Lieutenant Kyle Hardlaw, leader of specialized commando unit 'Alpha Black Zero', stands accused of multiple illegal assassinations against his own government. In the courtroom on Qahira, the politically influential planet formerly known as Mars, a military tribunal asserts Hardlaw killed numerous Solgov officials during a secret mission on a rebellious world. Many local populations are hostile to Solgov, having been indoctrinated for years by ultra-right separatist groups. Olympus City, the Qahiran capital brims with intrigue and suspicion. Hardlaw's work is always dangerous, but what actions have resulted in his trial? Behind the courtroom drama, a series of missions are played out that reveal a sinister story of counter espionage and treason in an explosive climate. Hardlaw must fight through a military and political minefield to clear his name. Unravel the conspiracy, and he wins his freedom. Fail, and his team will be silenced forever. Alpha Black Zero is a fast-paced mission based 3rd person tactical shooter with a gripping storyline to test both your fighting abilities and your intelligence. Dozens of different enemies, all possessing strong artificial intelligence will punish your mistakes across huge and challenging levels. [GMX Media] Expand

  1. Provides an intriguing storyline that is sure to capture fans of the team-based tactical shooter genre.
  2. Just manages to scrape into the "different enough to be interesting" category. [Oct 2004, p.100]
  3. You never really feel engaged in this run-of-the-mill shooter. [Nov 2004, p.86]
  4. A muddy, hard to handle shooter with no real plot or enthusiasm. It's just "go there, shoot this, shoot this too, okay go here now," over and over again.

    Excellent new squad based game! Hoooge time to complete, great graphics and the ability to play through levels how you want! The only problem I had was when I shot at enemies my team mates often got in the way, and some of the levels are a little too repetitive! But apart from these two little niggles it is very enjoyable!
