It's official: Escape from Paradise City has just shipped to retailers across North America. The game combined RTS and RPG features, from renowned publishing company cdv Software Entertainment. The game has players choosing between three distinct characters, not just at the beginning of the game, but also before the final showdown. Full details regarding this newly released RPG from cdv can be found below.

As mentioned above, In Escape from Paradise City there will be three distinct characters to choose from: an "ex-con" (convict), a "streetwise hand-to-hand expert" and a "corrupt FBI agent." Lethal combination! Anyway, according to game's official description, the three find themselves forced to help the government infiltrate the criminal underworld of the most corrupt city in America. As you can imagine, each of the three possesses special skills and abilities and while gamers can choose whichever they like at the beginning of the game, they will be able to earn experience and upgrades in equal quantity, by taking out the competition.

The player is required to infiltrate the gangs of Paradise City on behalf of a powerful government agency that, despite its influence, has been unable to introduce even a glimmer of law and order to this horribly corrupt city. In an intertwining chapter-driven story, the player takes turns controlling one of three gritty characters that, for their own reasons, have "volunteered" to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the controlling crime syndicate's power.

It has also been confirmed that, towards the end of the game, players will again be able choose one character for a final showdown with the city's mysterious crime lord, who's going to be one tough bloke to beat, which is pretty cool - few games allow the player to choose a different character for the final fight.

Keep in mind that Escape from Paradise city, published by cdv Software is already in stores across North America. The game is a PC exclusive.
