Cyber Troopers Mars

Cyber Troopers Mars, was a 2002 Video Game for the Sega Jupiter. Which controversially ditched the 1v1 confrontation system for a single player/co-operative campaign. Unlike OTL's "Virtual On Marz", the game was critically acclaimed despite it's difficulty, and was a first person shooter with a strong melee focus as well, as well as having the Bullet Hell mechanics from the original games. The game's plot involves trying to stop a revolt on the planet Mars, there are 10 Bosses in the game, all Virtuaroids, the final boss being a Raiden pilot called Lt Rogers.

The voice acting in the game was phenomenal, Sega wanted a Hollywood cast for the game, therefore, Liam Neeson was cast as Lt Rogers, the main villain, and many other characters were played by Bruce Willis, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Scarlett Johansson was also cast as a Viper-II Pilot "Rose". Minor voice actors included Yuri Lowenthal, Eddie Frierson and Steve Blum.

The game was again a best-seller despite it's difficulty curve, selling 20 Million copies by 2006, outgrossing it's $120 Million budget. Making a total of $1 Billion in sales by 2002. This caused a massive profit margin for Sega and Cyber Troopers was officially considered "Sega's Second Most Popular Franchise" before Sonic, similar to how Pokemon chased Mario in OTL.

The game received a rating of 98% on Gamesmaster. And a 10/10 on both IGN and Gamespot, which were not as biased as OTL IGN or Gamespot.

Awards the game received included "Golden Joystick Game Of The Year 2002", overall, the game won 54 Game Of The Year Awards.
