WinBack 2: Project Poseidon vs Without Warning

WinBack 2: Project Poseidon puts players in the shoes of three elite operatives, each with their own perspective on 30 high‑risk missions set in dense urban environments. The new "route" system lets you experience each mission from multiple angles, adding strategic depth to the fast‑paced action. The game introduces a highly‑anticipated sniper rifle, split‑screen co‑op, and multiple difficulty levels, challenging both newcomers and seasoned shooters to master close‑quarter battle and precise target engagement.

Without Warning is a third‑person, arcade‑style shooter that drops players into a sprawling chemical plant during a terrorist crisis. Over twelve intense hours, you switch between six playable roles—including three Special Forces operatives, a security guard, a secretary, and a cameraman—to thwart the plot in a style reminiscent of the TV series 24. The game was Circle Studio’s only console title and marked Capcom’s first Western‑developed release. Despite high expectations, it launched with a low critic score of 40/100, plagued by glitchy AI, technical issues, and a weak storyline.
