Plot Summary: The Princess of the Fearless is a massive ship larger than the Titanic, capable of carrying 5,000 people. It features amenities like a swimming pool, a soccer field, a casino, and more. Originally set to travel from Japan to New York, terrorists seize the ship due to its strategic location, killing almost the entire crew. On December 18, 2000, a day before the ship’s departure, laser weapons were installed for safety reasons. These lasers are used to fend off the U.S. Security Forces when they receive an S.O.S. message from the ship. On the same day, a girl is kidnapped to use a weapon capable of causing doomsday, including a virus that can turn humans into monstrous creatures with the power to destroy entire continents in 10 minutes. The four main characters controlled by players embark on a journey to eliminate evil, stop the virus, and save the ship.

This game is most captivating when played with two people, with the concept of the first combo being the coolest! The most badass move is still the guy putting his hand in his pocket! 😄
