"You have been dropped by shuttle at a Strogg Ore Refinery. Destroy the refinery by setting a chain reaction. Then, get out alive. Simple! ~Matt Fox

From the moment you observe your dropship hovering overhead who kindly tell you to hang on a second while they blast a hole through the Strogg front door, you realize that this is going to be one exciting level.

After grabbing your machine-gun and a few rounds you run headlong to the open door where you are promptly welcomed by a mix of flyers and gunners. Running low on ammunition and bleeding badly you race back out the door hoping to make it to the first aid kit you noticed outside. With the pursuing Gunners wildly shooting and even striking each other you dash headlong back into the sunlight only to be met by an Icarus class Strogg. Damn! This is going to be one tough mission!

Gameplay is tough and challenging. Combat situations are perfectly balanced with an appropriate blend of Strogg opponents, weapons and ammo.

Throughout this mission you have a sense of urgency that you must get this job done as quickly as possible. Supporting this is Matt's excellent use of your field computer (F1), updates are conveyed with a sense of urgency which follows the action perfectly. You would swear that they are dynamic and not canned!

Architecture is very good and downright great within the Ore factory itself. The combination of build and lighting are without equal. The believable golden rays of light filtering through the high factory windows are simply beautiful. A moving claw also adds to the gameplay and is fun addition to the level.

| Frantic gameplay, fabulous architecture within the Ore factory itself.
| You may experience some slowdown outside with multiple opponents.
| Great theme, fast fun gameplay, don't miss it!

A view of the excellent Ore factory.
