DEATH BY DEGREES
With each Tekken character worthy of their own adventure (and who knows, even movies), the choice of Nina Williams was probably due to her blonde demeanour rating high on the hot scale (young boys & men making up the most of the gaming demographic - even though it caries a violence age restriction). As a special agent on a CIA, MI6 co-op, with two sneakers (Alan & John) and one sweeper, Nina infiltrates the Glafeera Corporation's floating fortress, the Amphitrite by entering the ship's underground fighting tournament in the hull. She sorts out the enemy by sneaking, fighting, shooting, swimming, using special submission holds, throws, and finishing moves (with x-rays of snapping bones!). The impending doom of disappearances connected to the Devil's Triangle mystery is at the base of this conspiracy, and features hip Euro baddies, one resembling Benicio Del Toro. The game is high energy and slick with cool transitions and little load time, playing like an intense spy action movie. You get to unlock some exciting stuff and it's presented in Dolby Pro Logic II with a Metal soundtrack and great control system.
