A trip into the Nevada desert takes a turn for the worse when the player stumbles across a military black operation testing a new viral weapon, Project G.I. Ants. Designed to create battlefield infantry by mutating commonly found insects and parasites, the test goes horribly wrong and the lives of 8 friends and a desert community are altered, irrevocably.
Waking up in what appears to be a New York jail, an urban girl in her late teens must remember what happened and fight to save her friends from the madness. But everything is not as it seems...
Introducing the new kick ass, urban rock chick D.I.R.T, this is one girl that will not lie down easily. Develop D.I.R.T's fighting technique from a range of special moves, a resulting factor from the virus reacting within her body. Use these on their own or combine them with traditional blasting techniques to produce a wild emergent game play style and innovative new combos. Fight a vast array of mutated abominations across 14 action packed levels, as well as settling the score with the black operations marines and their arsenal of weapons.
