Very Xbox 360 game. UE3 brown+extra brown mode during slow mo. A ten minute turret section with flashing red explosive barrels. Cutscenes are low resolution with horrible compression artifacts. A multiplayer mode nobody has ever played.
It's fun!
What's amazing about that color palette is that it's a Midway game. Midway never met at #0000FF or #00FF00 or #FF0000 it didn't like. Fuck, it never met a #FF00FF it didn't like, for that matter. The point is that Midway adopting any kind of subtlety in their visual approach is noteworthy.
