interact with other fans of Fracture, watch exclusive videos, and gain
access to in-depth information about the exciting features to be found
in the game. Discuss Fracture and interact with other fans athttp://community.fracturegame.com.

Fracture takes place in the year 2161. A series of ecological and
seismological disasters have radically altered the planet’s landscape,
and a classic ideological clash between the genetically altered
Pacificans and the cybernetically enhanced Atlantic Alliance has
brought the world to the brink of war. Players find themselves right in
the middle of the genetic vs. cybernetic conflict as Jet Brody, a
highly trained weapons expert fighting for the Alliance.Fracture features truly next-generation gameplay with the use of
“groundbreaking” terrain deformation engine technology. Players are
able to literally reshape the battlefield as they see fit using
advanced, futuristic weaponry that provides unprecedented power,
freedom and control. Use Tectonic Grenades to jolt the ground skywards
to access otherwise unreachable areas; take out hidden enemies with
strategic use of the Torpedo Gun; or, blast out a crater to provide
cover with the Entrencher during particularly intense encounters.Fracture will be available October 2008 for Xbox 360™ and
PLAYSTATION®3. More information about the game can be found at the
official Fracture site, www.fracturegame.com.
