2005 IGF Winner for Excellence in Audio
Global Defense Network is, uh, a rhythm shooter. If that's possible. That is, as fast-paced electronic music plays, you shoot various objects whizzing about the screen--as you might in a shooting gallery, except that there are a wide variety of potential targets that behave quite differently. As you play, you unlock new levels, with new music, new targets, and new weapons for you to use.
Overlaid on this is a fairly goofy story line about how this game is actually a training simulator for members of the Global Defense Network, and if you score well enough, you may be recruited to join the GDN and help defend earth against alien invasion...
Pretty strange, really...
