Game Play[]
Like it's predecessor, it is a 3-D free-roaming action/adventure game along with elements from beat-em-ups and flight simulators. Once again, the player starts in a hub area, with access to in Terminals or "Gates". Only this time, there are only three playable characters. (Willy, Ninjinian, and Explorer.)
Plot[]
The plot this time around is that evil forces are trying to over run the USA with battle planes that launch out HUGE fruit, soap, cookies, and other items.
