	Video games - Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012

Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 is a PlayStation video game similar in style to that of the Twisted Metal series. The game appears to have been influenced by an insane combination of the movies Death Race 2000 and National Lampoon's Vacation.

Gameplay

The story involves you playing as an automercenary, hijacking tourists in the various vacation spots of the future and showing them the sights. As there is only one tourist per level, you're efforts towards success will be rivalled by the many other combat-vehicles in the game. And it is up to you to use your money wisely on upgrades for health and weaponry. There is a wide range of vehicles to play as, each with it's own unique weapon, appearance and character biography.

Plot

Earth 2012, it's the future and vacations have become an immensely valuable commodity, in a world that is the horrible post-holocaust landscape of devastation, poverty and chaos, the only alternative is to pay the nefarious Big Daddy ("your guide to the ultimate in luxury travel") in order to forget your troubles and enjoy the high life. Big Daddy is the greedy megalomaniac mogul of a vacation resort company who wants to rule the world. In doing so he has made his vacation resort to be the highlight for high-paying tourists, showing famous American locales. However, not everybody is content with his plans. It seems that there are others who wish to off Big Daddy who has taken control of the tourism racket. This results in several half-mad vigilantes known as auto-mercs who battle it out against each other on the playing field attempting to break into Big Daddy's criminal base of operations. In doing so you as an auto-merc have been enlisted in destroying his evil vacation resort company which has been exploiting the rest of the decadent world around whilst taking cheapskate vacationers on a hell-bent tour to the hot spots of the radioactive, char-broiled future..
