Plot
[edit]Major Greg D. Callahan of the United States Marine Corps gets shot through a black hole and ends up in an alien world where he must fight in gladiator-style fights in an arena, and help a character named Princess Lydia.
Gameplay
[edit]Players play through three strategy campaigns without the complication of resource-gathering and city-building. The arena announcer gives the player goals which they must complete to succeed.
Critical reception
[edit]Gamezone said the game would appeal to lovers of the Heavy Metal comic.[1] IGN praised the game for offering mind-numbing fast-paced enjoyment.[2][3] Andy Eddy of GameSpy said the game had a promising concept that fell apart in its execution.[4] Bob Colayco of GameSpot wrote that the gaming experience was soured by issues regarding its difficulty, interface bugs, and save-game problems.[5]
