Vanquish

The story takes place in the future.

The Order of the Russian Star, after taking control of Russian government with a coup d'etat, hijacks an American space station dedicated to the creation of solar energy and uses it to destroy San Francisco thus declaring war to the United States.

They demand an unconditional surrender or they will also destroy New York city.

Gideon is sent there to stop them.

During the game Gideon works together with a military task force, led by Robert Burns.

The military unit is controlled by the computer AI.

They provide support and Gideon can revive them when they die.

Gideon is helped from a distance by Elena Ivanova, who tracks the suit and provides information about the environment.

Gideon's suit provides for very fast-paced gameplay.

He is able to boost slide to new areas that provide cover and there is a very strong melee attack.

The focus is however on ranged-weapon shooting.

Some of the fights are also shown as in-game cinematics showing off elements of the suit's power (such as flying) that are not available to the player.

Health is restored automatically, but when too much damage is taken, the game goes into an Augmented Reality (AR) mode where all the action is slowed down, similar to bullet time .

During that short time frame, more precise firing is possible and there is some time to look for cover, but health is at a critical state.

AR can also be triggered manually, but this drains the suit's power.

Sliding also drains it, so Gideon often needs to find a safe place to restore the suit before it overheats.

Vanquish for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €14.88 loose, €6.25 complete in box, and €22.70 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Vanquish has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Vanquish, loose is €14.88 and CIB is €6.25 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Vanquish is currently worth €14.88 loose, versus €13.17 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
