There’s the stealth ones too, but even then you need to get rid of enemies to obtain a key card, it’s just even more difficult! Defeat enemies to get key cards to progress. There are about 20 missions in James Cameron's Dark Angel, but apart from the occasional boss fight and the ratio of enhanced enemies compared to regular ones, they’re pretty much the same. There are other items to pick up, but they are only to give you access to new areas, though it would have been nice to be able to use some C4 during fights I won’t lie… I’ll be honest, I was very glad that I kept most of it for the forced stealth sections like the train. You are given a Stealth Gun which fires special ammunition - of which there is a very limited amount - to incapacitate enemies. Stealth in this game is hardly on Sam Fisher’s level. You can grab enemies who haven’t spotted you and take them out, but if you grab someone from around a corner on a stealth section you fail because I guess they see you before you break their neck? On at least three sections the briefing you are given is to not be seen, only for the level to begin with enemies spotting you.
This isn’t helped by the poor stealth mechanics, especially as several sections of levels rely on you not being spotted at all. You can equip tonfas to hit harder, but those break after a short time, so getting spotted and swarmed by every enemy in the immediate area is a real drag. You can be fighting any given group of enemies for over a minute, and I’ve never heard of that in a beat ‘em up before. The combat can be cumbersome and enemies really take a pounding before going down. As the game begins, you’re being hunted as you head back to your apartment, and it progresses on to Max looking for more people like her and infiltrating -I- Corporation facilities. You play as Max, some kind of genetically augmented super soldier who’s on the run from the corporation that created you. So, my first experience of the IP was through this videogame developed by Radical Entertainment, which takes the form of a beat ’em up, and is set between the first and second seasons of the show. It’s been something I’ve meant to check out over the years but never gotten around to it. While I didn’t watch the Dark Angel show, which aired from October 2000 until May 2002, it wasn’t for any specific reason, I just didn’t. It’s been over 20 years since Dark Angel was cancelled, and as it turns out it’s been exactly 20 years since James Cameron's Dark Angel came out on Xbox and PlayStation 2! The 22nd of November 2002 it arrived in North America, though it was a bit longer for Europe as it was released on the 21st of February 2003.
