Players will be able to use Cobra’s superhuman abilities, the awesome Psychogun and the Colt Python 77 to take out his enemies, and also make use of famous gadgets like the cigar and the grappling hook.
The game features a story mode with 3 difficulty levels, giving players a chance to test their skills or simply enjoy a more leisurely adventure. There’s also a 2-player co-op mode for those who want to bring their friends along for the fun.
