Storyline

...On the small island civilization of Hillys, the DomZ creatures are a ruthless alien race which have invaded the Hillyan people. The government has set up the Alpha Section, which is a society "devoted to the safety of Hillys", or at least that's what they want you to think. The Alpha Sections are always late to the scene when an invasion occurs, and they're shields are always "broken". The Alpha Sections also work for and are controlled by the DomZ themselves!! Your job as Jade, the photojournalist, is to uncover the conspiracy your government puts before you an expose the real horrors the Alpha Sections corrupt, and show Hillys the truth to the Iris network, the group devoted to good. As you play through the levels, you're required to take photos of DomZ activity to show Hillyans the truth, with many twists, turns, and obstacles, with a bit of heartbreak, on the way.

Trivia

On the Iris MDisks (Iris 511, 512, and 513), there's a URL of irisnetwork.net. Going to this site showed a promotional site for the game, which added some back-story to the Alpha Sections' activity. (The website address is no longer related to the game.)

User Reviews

Not beyond good, but good nonetheless.

The critics loved this game and so I thought I would buy it. In the end it was a rather good and original game. The only two problems I have with it is the fact it is too short and the ending is a bit lacking. The rest of the game is rather fun though and rather easy to pick up and varies as well. You control Jade, a gal who watches over these orphans at a lighthouse. Why are they orphans, well an alien race has come to this particular planet full of all sorts of weird aliens and is causing havoc by abducting its citizens and such. A military group is on the planet to protect it, but they seem to have issues as well. Well you must guide Jade through this planet searching for the truth and you even become a sort of photographer for a group committed to exposing the truth. So this for me was the best portion of the game as you must sneak in these facilities and take pictures. You are also awarded for taking pictures of the various alien life forms on the planet. You do some fighting, and it is rather easy to perform, but stealth also plays a key role in the game. You will also use a hovercraft to reach areas and win races and a spaceship late in the game. So there a various things to do. Still though it wraps up way to soon, and the ending doesn't really overwhelm. Still though, it is different from all the sequels and such that come massive waves.
