Description
A team of navy seals investigating strange reports from Soreo, a desolate volcano island somewhere in the Pacific, has gone missing. Kurt Robinson and his team are sent out to reestablish contact and to find out just what truth is behind those reports...
Vivisector has the player explore some thirty-odd levels ranging from beaches and jungles to the snow covered heights of the inactive volcano and has him face a literal army of various engineered animals, from canines with lightning rods on their backs and metal reinforced fangs to the Rhino-truck, to various half-breed like Gepardmen, which utilize Ninja-like mortal combat techniques, or various types of Wolfmen, which field different types of heavy weaponry.
The player, in turn, gets access to an arsenal ranging from Combat Knife over Pistol and Machine Guns to futuristic stuff like Plasma Rifles and a handheld Howitzer.
Bit by bit, the history of the island and its inhabitants is uncovered - as is Kurt Robinson's role in it...

Trivia
The working title for the game was
Vivisector: Creatures of Dr. Moreau as it was partly inspired by
H. G. Wells' famous 1896 novel
The Island of Dr. Moreau. The events of the game are set 100 years after those in the novel, on the same island and still feature similar experimental human-animal hybrids. The game also has a similarly named renegade geneticist: "Dr. Morhead", whose hybrid soldiers are fighting against the corrupt general that ordered their creation.
