Metal Man Reloaded

Murphy's law? Not any more!

How did this happen? The authorities gave in, and now the mafia have total control, and access to the most powerful killing machines ever made!

Leading a consolidation of rebel police forces, you, as Matthew Cranston, have decided to fight back, to eliminate the corruption and restore order to the cities of Earth. The Godfather of the mafia must be destroyed!

Scenario

When the machines were first unveiled, it was clear that a new dawn was upon us. With the NYPD scattered and succumbing to mafia control, we were sure that this would finally put an end to the increase in trafficking crimes, to the unlicensed genetic experiments, and to the off-world smuggling ring, and that it would finally unite the police against Frank Slayer and his ever-tightening grasp on the city.

But the government buckled, and the mafia overlord was sanctioned exclusive use of the cybernetic weaponry. Under a barrage of relentless attacks, the remnants of the Police surrendered, and the city fell under mafia control.

There was only one way to beat this, and that was to play them at their own game. With a few law-enforcement loyalists at your side, you scavenged what you could of the new technology, and integrated it into your physiognomy. Now, it's time to take on the mafia clans and the corruption of the city. Get this right, and the city will be free forever.

This special edition contains both the original Metal Man Reloaded, plus the exclusive Matthew Cranston battles. Both can be loaded independently of each other.
