About This Game

A special commando unit is dispatched to a remote island, where a mad scientist named Doctor Kirk has been researching a way to harvest energy directly from the air — an experiment that has triggered an unimaginable disaster. Their mission is to locate a missing government agent sent to infiltrate the facility and uncover Kirk's secretive dealings with the military. The team is led by the hard-nosed soldier Gail, but the player takes the role of his capable second-in-command, a redheaded commando named Regina. Together they must survive a secret government facility now overrun by time-displaced dinosaurs — and bring Doctor Kirk back into custody.
