Product Overview: "Sigma" is a 3-D, real-time strategy game set in the 1930s that pits the player against an evil madman in a desperate campaign across a chain of remote and diverse islands. Using Earth's most formidable animals as building blocks, the player creates an army of unique, mutant monsters in a struggle to protect an unsuspecting world.

Key Features:

• Thousands of units - "Sigma" has over 50 animals that can be combined into a huge number of mutant creatures, the results of which are limited only by the player's imagination.
• Explore living worlds - "Sigma's" highly detailed, fully 3-D dynamic world includes weather, day and night missions, each complete with flora and fauna unique to four different ecologies. Environments impact gameplay by affecting the types of new animals available and the performance of the units deployed in the environment.
• Compelling single player campaigns - Players command dozens of creatures, villagers and henchmen in over 15 missions across 14 distinct islands in an attempt to thwart the plans of a 1930s super villain.
• Unprecedented replayability - "Sigma" offers boundless creature combinations, armies and randomly generated terrain to provide limitless play options.
• Unique multiplayer options - Multiple players can engage in unprecedented, streamlined and intense gameplay. Fast and furious multiplayer games will focus on action for a wide appeal.
• Transferable units - Players can refine their armies in the single player campaign and then test their strategies with the same armies in a multiplayer game.
