Summary
Since the beginning of the Resident Evil series in 1996, the popularity of the third-person action adventure genre has gone through the roof. From ResEvil onwards, many software houses have attempted to recreate the atmospheric gameplay that Capcom provided in their schlock horror game. Now we have something called Martian Gothic Unification for PlayStation. Will this game give Resident Evil a run for its money? Absolutely.
This PlayStation version follows more than a year behind the PC release, and while it may not be as visually pleasing, every other aspect of the game has thankfully remained identical.
After mankind discovered that there was in fact life on Mars, it was inevitable that a mission to the red planet was on the agenda, and sure enough, a crew of hardy souls flew out there. Several months later, mission control received a distress call from the crew, “If you send a manned craft, tell them to stay alone. Stay alive.” Oooooh!
This is where your game starts. On arrival at the scene, the crew of three has been separated, as per the former crew’s request. Now, because of this, you are forced to take on the roles of three different characters simultaneously, and in different locations. You must use your resources wisely and effectively to get the most out of this game. Many of the game’s puzzles are extremely challenging, but at the same time, are equally rewarding. A variety of weapons will help you tackle some of the game’s more volatile obstacles, but again ammunition is rare and must be used only if necessary.
Martian Gothic Unification is probably best described as Resident Evil in space. With three characters to take charge of, and a compelling storyline, this scary title is best played with the lights down low for full effect.
