This 3d shooter title was usually bundled with 3d cards to
show off the 3d hardware assisted graphics power as at the time of it's release
it had some of the best looking graphics to date. The plot is the same-old
"defend the Earth from invading aliens" premise. Your goal is to kill alien
invaders by manning turret, tank, helicopter, harrier jet, and even captured
alien fighter. Battle will take you to various continents, culminating in your
leading a massive counterattack on the moon. You can play the game in 3
different modes. The "arcade" mode is a straightforward shooter, where you only
need to worry about shooting everything in sight. The "action" mode is slightly
more realistic and more challenging, and the "action-tactics" mode gives you
limited control over other friendly units. It's mission-based, each introduced
with a briefing that sets out your objectives, as well as provides plot
development. The best thing about the game is the wide range of units you will
control. This diversity and nonstop action keeps Incoming from being repetitive,
and excellent 3D graphics (especially if you have a 3Dfx-compliant video card)
will entice you to relive the experience from time to time. The game also has
excellent multiplayer support: split-screen, and up to 8 players via LAN or
modem.
