Death by Degrees

Namco extends its popular Tekken franchise by focusing on the voluptuous operative, Nina Williams, as she confronts demons from her dark past in order to carry out a perilous mission. Dispatched to investigate the whereabouts of a stolen high-tech weapon, Nina must infiltrate a shadowy organization and reveal a conspiracy on a global scale. Death By Degrees blends a unique mixture of combat and adventure. Beautifully rendered environments set the stage for game play, including combat in a weapons research facility, a cryptic prison and a level onboard a luxury cruise ship. An intriguing storyline with challenging scenarios, recognizable characters and interesting character development will allow players of all skill levels to grasp Death by Degrees game play mechanics and participate in over-the-top, fast-paced action combat. Surrounded? An intuitive control system offers hundreds of possible attacks in all directions using both analog sticks. The game offers cutting edge action, featuring fighting techniques at speeds similar to that seen in action films. Use an on-screen "X-ray scan" to target the weak points of an enemy's body such as bones and internal organs to inflict massive damage. Sneak up behind enemies, use evasion maneuvers, and put unsuspecting guards out with sleeper holds. Fans will recognize Nina's Tekken moves including Evil Mist, attacks, throws and submission techniques. Master a nearly unlimited combination range of acrobatics, throws, grappling techniques, hand-to-hand weapons (including katanas and tonfa), and firearms. [Namco]
