Gameplay

The gameplay consists of one element which has you manning a machine gun turret to stop the enemy from advancing. The enemies come by ship or plane and they never stop. Ship will drop land troops on the beach, and the planes will fly over head. The game tries to capture a realistic setting by using photo realistic 3D graphics.
Reception
