Product Description
-------------------
For more than 20 years, the Coalition and the Nationalists
fought their bloody war. With war comes technology, and it
developed at an astonishing pace. The two armies fought each
other with ever more powerful weapons, yet neither side gained
the advantage. Ultimately, the two sides ran out of funds,
willpower, and men. As the armies collapsed leaving the country
in anarchy, a new power rose. Sweeping down on the exhausted
country, PSI's forces obliterated the remaining armies and began
its conquest of the East. Now, the Western territories, mostly
unaffected by the civil war, find themselves suddenly defenseless
against a new and quickly growing east coast power.

Bringing dramatic third-person shooter action to huge,
steampunk-inspired environments, Damnation for Xbox 360 puts a
range of unique weapons in your hands and lets you test the
limits of the human body by performing acrobatic stunts to move
through vertical levels. Set in an early 20th century world where
the Civil War never ended, this game will have you climbing
walls, commanding killer vehicles, and seeking out ways to stop
industrialists with a thirst for totalitarian power.
An Alternate History: the Peacemakers and the PSI
You'll follow an ensemble cast including the hero Rourke -- a
veteran of the war that ripped the country into pieces and member
of a guerilla army called the Peacemakers. These rough fighters
are up against the PSI led by William Dean Prescott, a powerful
and manipulative man angling to become the dictator of an
industrialized empire. As the complicated, multi-faceted story
unfolds around Rourke and his cohort, you'll find that he is
still looking for his son and fiancee, who went MIA during the
war. The cast of characters includes native healers and seers
with unique abilities. And fighters can employ a special spirit
vision ability to see enemies through walls or from far away,
making it impossible for anyone to stay hidden for long.
Rich, Innovative Vertical Environments
Featuring rugged, detailed environments that have been designed
to maximize the impact of vertical space, Damnation follows the
action as it moves though deep canyons, up shear cliff faces,
into secret caverns, around towering skyscrapers, and toward
PSI's factory fortress, which sprawls across the tundra. Each
location offers miles of horizontal ground and thousands of
vertical feet for players to explore and exploit.
This means you're movement isn't just limited to running,
ducking, and driving a burly motorbike. If you want to survive,
you'll have to master shooting while in the middle of climbing
scaffolding, sliding down ropes, and using vehicles to jump huge
chasms. And, of course, the developer's emphasis on vertical
movement adds a whole new dimension to the concept of holding the
high ground in a firefight, since attacks really can come from
just about anywhere.
Rounding out your experience, a combination of dynamic 3D
graphics and tough, steampunk aesthetics brings an iconic look
and feel to the game's ten distinctive weapons, edgy playable
vehicles, and bold industrial structures.
Epic Single-Player Missions and Multiplayer Modes
Damnation offers options to keep play interesting, from
campaigning on your own through a series of levels that each
offer up to three hours of playing time to competing with friends
in four distinct multiplayer modes and support for up to eight
players on each . Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the
Hill, and Capture the each offer distinct possibilities for
you and your friends to battle each other and compete for
superiority.
