in a breathtaking, award-winning universe, The Red Star flawlessly
blends the fighting and shooting genre, offering an innovative
high-action, character-driven co-operative gameplay experience.

futuristic weapons are wielded by its army, The Red Fleet.
Considered by GameSpy.com to be "One of the biggest gaming
surprises seen so far in 2004", The Red Star has been likened to a
cross between Final Fight- style brawling and Contra-style action.
