The game’s range of customizable weaponry features different types of ammunition designed to combat specific threats - most are balanced to be proficient in damaging either shields or armor, but not both. Yet again, players and enemies have both a shield and armor meter, with each meter needing to deplete before the opponent falls. Jetpacks, temporary lock-ons and turbo sprints make their welcome return, helping to craft the illusion that one is playing an all-purpose supersoldier. As always, the player drops into battle from a great height, able to control his landing on the battlefield and ostensibly start the fight from anywhere on the map. The story is quite forgettable, pitting the heroes against some embittered soldiers out for generic revenge, but it’s told with enough confidence to keep the player engaged on a surface level.Ĭombat has not changed much since last time. While the narrative in Prejudice is still rather light, the use of more cutscenes, varied objectives and levels geared toward solo combat give the feeling of a legitimate story experience, rather than a shallow token effort. While the original Section 8 did have a single-player option, it was little more than a series of multiplayer matches against bots, with nothing but an incredibly paper-thin story holding it together. The first thing to note with Prejudice is that it actually has a real solo campaign this time. Released: Ap(XBLA) / (PC) / Summer 2011 (PSN) Section 8: Prejudice ( Xbox Live Arcade, PS3, PC ) This deeper, more robust $15 followup almost makes the $60 original seem like an insult. Section 8: Prejudice seems to have set out to be the game that Section 8 should have been in the first place, releasing this time as a significantly cheaper downloadable title, and offering a lot more features. By and large, it was a noble effort and a decent game, albeit one that seemed doomed to slip into obscurity. Its focus on pure online gameplay was to its detriment, due to the fact that not many people were actually playing it. The original Section 8 didn’t exactly set the world aflame.
