Story

The player fights with drug lords, corrupt bandits, femme fatales, crooked mercenaries, and ritualistic zombies. In between missions the player can choose to play mini games, in each of which the player is dropped right into the middle of a situation and must complete a number of moves with a limited number of enemies, or beat a set score in a limited amount of time. There is no free-roaming option in the game.
