-------------------------------------------------1. Introduction
-------------------------------------------------Cold War is a stealth, action game that follows Matt Carter, a freelance
journalist, who finds himself in the midst of an international conspiracy
that aims to control the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arrival in Moscow for
a routine story, he has been stripped of all possessions, beaten unconscious
and thrown into the KGB s political prison. He must now evade or overcome
elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before he is used as the ultimate
fall guy and before Soviet hardliners can end Glasnost.
