Description

The year is 2029. The date is Christmas Eve. At the grand opening of the Japan Space Station Hotel, a horde of creatures burst into the hotel and start killing everyone. You manage to escape, but you're trapped inside a security room with no chance of getting out. Your only hope lies in Rio, a lone woman, who you guide by talking to her. Guide her well, and she may be able to rescue you. Rely on her, for she is your one and only life line.

Life Line is the first game on the PlayStation 2 that's entirely voice activated. You do not directly control Rio. Instead, you speak to her, and tell her what to do. If you want her to open the bathroom door, tell her to open the bathroom door. If there is a keycard laying on the table, tell her to pick it up. If a monster is closing in that she can't handle, tell her to run away.

You'll explore the entire Space Station Hotel, from the kitchen to maintenance to bedrooms to bathrooms, finding items and encountering a slew of different enemies. Life Line recognizes over two thousand words and phrases, basically giving you the freedom to tell her anything you want, and she'll understand.

Life Line requires a headset. It'll work with the one that came bundled with certain PS2 titles, a third party headset, or any USB-compatible headset.
