Go Behind Enemy Lines this May
New third-person action RPG on its way.
Imagine you're a US pilot flying over Germany in the closing years of the Second World War. Your plane is hit by enemy fire and you're downed in the frosty foothills of Germany, with no backup and little chance of survival. Once roused, your only thought is to escape the harsh winter and the approaching German troops intact.
This bleak premise is the setting for Kuju Interactive's Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines, a third-person game featuring RPG and action elements and a sumptuous comic book style.
And while US airman Bill Foster and his flight to the Swiss border may be fictitious, Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines is based on the real experiences of Second World War veterans.
The game will demand more than just offing Nazis, though - you'll also need to deal with the cold. As you progress through the game, you accumulate experience points, which allow you to improve your skills and resistance.
Pilot Down: Behind Enemy Lines will come out in May for Xbox, PC and PlayStation 2.
