Armaguiddon: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

Armaguiddons are small, levitating crafts built and piloted by the [[Hoodlum]] army. On the rear of each vehicle is a cannon capable of firing blasts of damaging green plasma in short bursts. At the front of each vehicle is a mechanism which can launch bombs; however, the momentum of a flying Armaguiddon is required to launch them by more than few feet. Both the plasma cannon and the bombs are used by [[Rayman]] and [[Globox]] during the portions where they pilot an Armaguiddon, but only the bombs are ever used by the [[Hoodlum]] pilots.

In the second-last phase of [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], [[Globox]] is captured by a mechanical arm, which takes him into a room containing several Armaguiddons; however, when [[Rayman]] approaches the doors to this room, they spring shut, and Globox is heard screaming. Rayman went on to fight and destroy [[~~the~~ Horrible Machine]], causing the Headquarters to explode; exactly what happens to Globox is not known, but he appears to have taken control of an Armaguiddon and escaped with it.

As [[Rayman]] escapes from the exploding [[Hoodlum Headquarters]], the blast sends him flying through the air, and he lands at the foot of [[the Tower of the Leptys]]. As he nears the upper levels of the Tower, he is taken by surprise when he encounters [[Globox]], who is now at the helm of a flying Armaguiddon. Globox crashes the vehicle almost immediately; at this Rayman is distraught, but Globox quickly reveals that he has not been injured. Rayman climbs into the Armaguiddon with Globox, and the two characters begin to fly upwards through the tower; Globox loses his sunglasses, which have never been seen before, in the process. The vehicle is controlled directly by the player; it is completely manoeuvreable in 360 degrees, and can withstand many crashes before breaking down. As the heroes ascend, they encounter other Armaguiddons; these ones are piloted by enemy [[Hoodlum]]s. For these portions, the game switches to a first-person perspective as the player takes control of Rayman, who must use the Armaguiddon's rear cannon to fend off the enemies (who only utilise the bombs launched from the front of their vehicles). The game alternates between steering the Armaguiddon and fighting off enemy Armaguiddons. Both modes of gameplay become progressively more difficult as the level proceeds – the driving portions become filled with difficult obstacles, such as gigantic rotating gears, and the shooting portions involve ever-increasing numbers of enemy Armaguiddons.
