Partly action and part real-time strategy, in which the player plays the role of one of the ten monsters known from class B movies, and his task is to destroy cities and fight against the troops defending them.
They Came From Hollywood is a real-time strategy/action game for the PC in which you take on the role of a giant B-movie monster in your own cheesy B-movie. Ravage cities while fighting off the military. Eat people. Eat cars. Punch holes in buildings, knock down billboards and kick over every newspaper stand in ten blocks. Everything is destructible: buildings topple, dust rises, fires spread, cars explode, broken fire hydrants shoot streams of water. Pick up any mailbox, street lamp, light pole, and throw it -- or any unfortunate human, for that matter.
Big is good, little is bad...and you're big, baby, city-threatenin' big. TCFH is currently in development here at Octopus Motor and planned for debut in 2005.
I know...you're thinking, yes, that's all well and good, but where are the bullet points?
FEATURES
So here's where we fire off a volley of bullet points all John-Woo style...mind the flying cartridges.
Yes, Frank, I'm dumping you.
* Play as one of twelve unique giant monsters
* Customize your monster
* Destroy six great U.S. cities (plus one not-so-great one)
* Cities are totally destructible environments
* Take on worthless humans in four different time periods
* Utterly ridiculous backstory
Okay, I'm kidding about the backstory. There's no backstory. There's no front story, either. We may have wedged a little story in there sideways somewhere, but you're not gonna be able to get it out unless you have one of those really small metric screwdrivers. We hope you enjoy the game anyhow.
