In the game you drive an upgradeable buggy, an experimental vehicle, named ACAM. It can be transformed into six different shapes; you can turn it into an aircraft, or even a hovercraft. You have to shoot aliens with flashy weapons, collect resources such as Crystals, Energy Spheres and lost scientists. So you as single human hero must put evil aliens in their place and introduce them to his plasma cannon.

How well these different elements will gel remains to be seen, but if UbiSoft manage to pull it off Infestation could well be worth a closer look. We should know soon - the game is due out this summer, and final review code is expected any day now. Stay tuned!
Infestation review:
But it is all let down by shoddy AI and poorly balanced missions, which swing from push-over to almost impossible seemingly at random. With a few months more polish this could perhaps have been a great game. As it is, the result is a fairly enjoyable but unremarkable game that is all too often hair-tearingly frustrating.
