Domain Name- A game from Sega


Domain name is the shooter genre game that makes you a shooter to kill all your enemies.  It is a PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 format game that is launched by a gaming company named as Sega.  This game depicts the technology part as it considers all the motions based on true happenings and momentum considerations. Binary Domain is a futuristic squad based third person shooter based in Tokyo in 2080. Your job, and that of your multinational squad, is to infiltrate the city and find the people behind the making of the highly illegal Hollow Children; flesh covered robots that not only look human, but who think they are too. Unfortunately, just about every police/defence automaton is out to aerate your body with bullets, blades or jagged pieces of themselves, if they can get their broken bodies close enough to you once you’ve asked them to say hello to your little friend with the smoking muzzle.

It’s all very sci-fi and eastern in origin, created by the newly formed Yakuza Studio with Toshihiro Nagoshi (the creator of the Yakuza games) at the helm. It plays like most third person shooters in recent years, with a cover system allowing for blind fire, hopping over for a frontal attack, or dashing for another-less bullet gouged-hiding place. One of the things that set it apart from the rest in the genre is the physical damage done to enemies. As you spray them with hot lead they disintegrate in front of you, showing off their metal framework and inner workings and at the same time giving you nicely lit energy sources to aim for.

Binary Domain takes place in 2080, years after environmentalists worldwide have wept bitter tears following the melting of the polar ice caps. What followed was pandemonium. The oceans rose, cities floods, dogs and cats were living together. End of the world stuff. But once the waters subsided, the rebuilding began. The population was nowhere near what it was, so many nations turned to robotic labor to help take the jobs that humans couldn’t. That bred a new robotic culture around the world. The game also does a great job of mixing in some variety, including a tense chase through a tunnel, a mech-like attack, and dodging falling debris, just to name a few. Every time you think you have seen all the game has to offer, it throws something completely new at you.

When the curtain drops on Binary Domain, you’re left with the sense that, while accomplished, this game is largely a rote exercise in genre. It adequately, but not outstandingly, mimics the nuts and bolts of the western cover shooter, while bringing little new of worth to the table. In an ironic – or perhaps knowing – parallel to its subject matter, Binary Domain marks the moment that a Japanese team has managed to mechanically clone its competition. But, as with any clone, it’s ended up feeling a little soulless. So get your copy of this technical shooting game and kill all those dirty guys all around you.
