Tetsujin returns in this sequel to Iron Angel of the Apocalypse, a shooter series on 3DO console. The story picks up shortly after the events of the previous game. After his showdown with the Scientist and the Android, Tetsujin finds himself disembodied. A mysterious corporation known as SCR gives you a new body, but their plans for your are mysterious. The format of this game is mostly similar to the first. This is a first person shooter that relies heavily on video cutscenes to tell a story. The graphics engine has been improved greatly, giving this game a much faster pace than it's predecessor. Whereas the original used a combination of live actors and CG, this one uses CG to depict the humans as well. In 1997, a Premium Version re-release came out with a second disc, titled Atmos Tetsujin Re-Mix that has a basic program that houses two versions of a unique trance instrumental song of the same name composed by DJ Q'Hey: One that's audio only & another that's just an AMV made up of modified cutscenes from Tetsujin Returns. Running just over seven minutes long, it has some new CG made just for this. In 1998, Tetsujin: The Mutant Solid, a DVD made up of three videos that can be chosen from the main menu was released. The first is "Tetsujin Returns", which is a ~3-minute music video directed by Minoru Kusakabe essentially acting as a trailer for the game itself, though now the CG is all rendered beautifully in DVD quality, and I think there might even be some new footage mixed in! After that is a DVD-quality version of "Atmos Tetsujin Re-Mix", while the third is "Blackout", a brand new minute-long collaboration between Kusakabe & DJ Q'Hey; both the first & third videos can be played in either stereo sound or Dolby 5.1 surround. |
