Forgotten Gems: The Red Star

The Red Star was a PS2 beat-em-up/shooter hybrid from Acclaim Studios Austin. It is based on the graphic novel of the same name, which provides an alternate history of the world powers. Russia is a nation of high technology and sorcery named the 'United Republics of the Red Star', and are at war with neighboring nation Al'lstaan. The universe that The Red Star exists in is very steampunk oriented, with giant metal blimps and a fusion of technology with mystical powers. It's all very interesting and fun to read.
