!!! These are the tropes featuring in Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.

The game received mixed reviews. Some considers this game so cool with VisualEffectsOfAwesome, different gameplay mechanics and SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, while others criticized for the whole jetpack concept as a more chasing function than a fighting strategy, and the fact that the shooting attacks ruins the pace of gameplay, not to mentioning the bad voice acting.

''Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.'' is a 3D FightingGame from MidwayGames, released in 1998. Originally set to be released for the arcades, it received a limited test release in selected arcades, although lukewarm reception meant it was never put into full production. It later received a wide release for the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} and UsefulNotes/PlayStation instead.

Micro-Gene starts the global takeover with the annexion of New Mexico by constructing more micro-chip processing plants and cloning technology labs, with Arizona as the next target. Micro-Gene moved from Texas to Nevada, and things started to get ugly, as the company had been using enhanced agents to spy, sabotage and gather information on competing companies, other competitors began fighting back with their own brand of genetically enhanced corporate spies and agents.

The wars between "[[MegaCorp GI-Corps]]" gave way to more complicated, advanced and unethical methods. The kidnapping of corporate executives and replacing them with clones capable of downloading company secrets was becoming commonplace. Murder and terrorist tactics became tools of choice in the battle between them.

With the advent of the GI-Corps battles, each State developed desperate measures to secure themselves from a hostile take-over. By declaring Federal Independence from the U.S., drastic laws and borders were created between states. Violence reared instantly and the Techno-Industrial Civil Wars began.

An agreement had to be made between the government and the GI-Corps before the fall of America. So a radical concept was introduced to prevent the possible loss of money in the increasing wars between GI-Corp controlled states. Thus comes '''The Secret Games Commission (SGC)'''. Spearheaded by forces unknown (possibly foreign interest), a commission was set up in league with the remaining U.S. Government to regulate the piracy that was tearing apart the United States with the hopes of possibly re-uniting the once proud country. The SGC and the American Government put forth a proposal to the GI-Corps: territorial or contract disputes by settling in an arena. One champion represents a controlled state in battle against another instead of armies. The winning Champion takes control of the opposing state along with whatever other states that may have been acquired from previous battles.

The first unified law in decades was passed and the concept of one-on-one battles settling GI-Corp disputes became a reality. As a matter of fact, the creation of ultimate fighting machines was inevitably the next step in the industrial world of Neo-Amerika and its civil wars.

Each GI-Corp jumped at the opportunity to create these warriors from technology they specialized in. Cloning had become an easy task for the science divisions of the corporate states. Enhancement by genetics and cybernetics were available technologies as well. Born from these scientific secrets were: '''Biological Flying Robotic Enhanced Armored Killing Synthoids''' (Bio F.R.E.A.K.S.), these enhanced humans were created specifically for the purpose of battle. Bred in laboratories as killing machines that are genetically endowed with strength and agility, healing factor, body tissue regeneration and built-in weapons. They are owned by the GI-Corps and controlled through a bio-drive that also allows them to download combat skills and strategies. An intricate tattoo of circuitry gives them access to the bio-drives, which are located in each Freak's skull. There are three stages of Freakdom:

* '''Synthoids''': Genetically enhanced clones with tissue regrowth abilities.
* '''Retros''': (as in retrofit): One flaw in the Freak creation process is that the tissue regrowth abilities will fail after a while. If a body part is destroyed and the regeneration processes has discontinued, cybernetic replacements are attached to the Freak.
* '''Dozers''': These are freaks who have not only lost so much of their human tissue but also the ability to regenerate. Their bodies are completely mechanical save for the brain.

Closed-circuit battle pits are where all the action takes place, the states' populace savors the conflicts with crazed fervor. Everybody enjoys the fights in for their amusement, except the Freaks themselves. The fights aren't sanctioned due to the lack of government, and being under constant control of the GI-Corps, they are doomed to a destiny of violence and loss of humanity, some Freaks have gone rogue and formed an [[LaResistance underground resistance]] in order to escape the control of their "owners" and obtain equal rights.

While the Secret Game Commission's ultimate goal is to re-unify America, the possibility of a GI-Corp Resistance interferes with their important progress. If an underground movement becomes successful and all Freaks go rogue, then a swift relapse to the days of the Civil Wars is possible and the hopes of peace could be crushed, and thus the battle begins.

Micro-Gene, a micro-chip and bio engineering company located in Dallas, Texas. New Mexico was easily annexed by the construction of more micro-chip processing plants and cloning technology labs. Arizona was the company's next target and by the time Micro-Gene moved in on Nevada, things started to get ugly. Micro-Gene had been using enhanced agents to spy, sabotage and gather information on competing companies, other competitors began fighting back with their own brand of genetically enhanced corporate spies and agents.

Technically, the gameplay features six buttons: two punches, two kicks, shooting and jetpack. Choose from eight different characters, each one gets equipped with a WeaponOfChoice. Also, just like ''VideoGame/TimeKillers'', characters can get mutilated in the middle of fight and then finish with decapitation or cutting into half.

In [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture the not-too-distant future]], UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates [[FallenStatesOfAmerica fell like all great empires throughout history]]. Fifty states were broken into private territories after the Techno-Industrial Civil Wars. Technology and bio-engineering accelerated at such an incredible rate, and forced an industrial competition of corporate espionage. The government tried to keep control of the country by a single thread, the effect of the giant corporations' white collar wars drove the economy into a tail spin. [[XtremeKoolLetterz Neo-Amerika]] rises as the result of the government bankrupt and technological company takeover.

* FallenStatesOfAmerica: The setting of this game.

In [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture the not-too-distant future]], the mighty country known as America has fallen like all great empires throughout history. Its fifty states broken into private territories after what was called... The Techno-Industrial Civil Wars. Computer technology, bio-engineering, cybernetics and mechanics accelerated at such an incredible rate, it forced industrial competition to the point of uncontrollable and ruthless corporate espionage.

While the government tried to keep control of the country by a single thread, the effect of the giant corporations' white collar wars drove the economy into a tail spin. With Wall Street in shambles, the government bankrupt and technological corporate giants running unorthodox takeovers, Neo-Amerika was born. Starting with Micro-Gene, a Dallas based microchip / bio engineering company, New Mexico was easily annexed by the construction of more micro-chip processing plants and cloning technology labs. Arizona was the company's next target and by the time Micro-Gene moved in on Nevada, things started to get ugly. Micro-Gene had been using enhanced agents to spy, sabotage and gather information on competing companies, but other competitors began fighting back with their own brand of genetically enhanced corporate spies and agents.

Closed-circuit battle pits are where all the action takes place. While more reminiscent of [[GladiatorGames Roman gladiators]] than a football game, the states' populace savors the conflicts with crazed fervor. While the whole world watches the fights in frantic anticipation, there are those who do not enjoy the rigorous battles faced far too often: the Bio Freaks themselves.

Not having any government of corporate sanctioned rights, being under constant control of a GI-Corp, doomed to a destiny of violence and ultimate loss of humanity, some Freaks have gone rogue and formed an [[LaResistance underground resistance]]. Their goal, to escape the control of their "owners" and obtain their equal rights.
