About BioMetal
The future of the world is in jeopardy if you cant stop the BioMetals from carrying through with their plan of total annihilation. Youre in control the Halbard fighter, armed with six changeable and devastating weapons. If youre in a pinch, you can always use the GAM, a biologically fabricated system that orbits your ship and destroys anything it touches. Be careful, though, because the GAM uses up energy quickly, so you must use it sparingly.
Youll have to blast your way through six deadly environments, laying waste to any BioMetals you discover. As you fight your way to freedom and victory, the pumping sounds of techno group 2 Unlimited keep your spirits high and your adrenaline pumping. There are only two outcomes here, the eradication of the BioMetals or the end of humanity. The choice is yours.
Amazing Game
Oh man, do I love BioMetal. The story for BioMetal is simple- the controls are the best I can see, and the graphics are perfect, not to mention the music is beastly. This is a great space shooter, not to mention a perfect waste-of-time game. It compares to games such as Gradius, Pac-Man, and the ultimate of ultimate games, Pong. Are you ready for this?
In the year G.C. 232, the Milky Way War is finally over, with an unknown victor. Due to the war, the Milky Way is running out of resources, so they send a corps of galactic cruisers to gather supplies from planet "U.P. 457". Suddenly, they were attacked! The creatures that attacked them were named BioMetals by the humans. They calculated that the BM's are multiplying fast, and that they would take over the Milky Way in 32 hours, so they send an elite unit named the 'Wasps', which is testing a new weapon, the G.A.M. living weapon. So, using the G.A.M., you take control of the galactic cruiser 'Halbard', to exterminate the BM's before mankind meets its doom.
