As detailed in the backstory, a meteorite is en route to crash on planet Earth. While scientists and astrologists are coming up with a plan to neutralize the meteorite threat, a terrorist organization called G.H.O.S.T, wants the meteorite for themselves for reasons unknown. And its up to two agents from the elite Iron Commando Force, Jack the soldier and Chang Li the martial artist, to stop G.H.O.S.T. at all costs.

!! "It's good to do some exercise."
* AngryGuardDog: Guard dogs are a minor enemy guarding G.H.O.S.T. compounds, and can be taken down with just a few punches. They tend to be slightly harder to hit due to their size though.
* AutoScrollingLevel: The "Chase" levels, in which Jack and Chang pursues enemy mooks on motorcycles, trucks, and minecarts.
* BackgroundBoss: The FinalBoss, Golgot 21, a HumongousMecha who stands at the back of a platform trying to attack Jack and Chang in the foreground with its fists.
* BatterUp: Baseball bats are a recurring item drop, which can be picked up for smashing heads. It has better range than knives and does decent damage in combat.
* BoobyTrap: The G.H.O.S.T hideout in the Lost Temple is loaded with traps, from dropping boulders to pitfalls and [[TheWallsAreClosingIn spiked walls that closes in]] behind Jack and Chang, and plenty of mooks trying to prevent them from escaping.
* CometOfDoom: The backstory details a potentially harmful meteor about to wipe out all life on earth about to enter the atmosphere. And a terrorist group called G.H.O.S.T. ''wants'' it to happen, for some reason, so it's up to Jack and Chang to prevent G.H.O.S.T. from hijacking said meteor.
* CoolGuns: The game may be set in the present-day, but one of the available guns is the awesome Chicago Typewriter (from the 1930s!).
* DarkActionGirl: The "Tina" enemies, machete-wielding female mooks who can put up quite a fight and shows up regularly in later levels.
* ExcusePlot: The backstory about some meteor about to hit the earth ''sounds'' complicated, but it's barely touched upon after the opening scene. The sub-plot about some meteor can easily be skimmed over for all the action and the players won't miss a damn thing.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Come think of it, the Huago brothers - a pair of supernatural deities unleashed by G.H.O.S.T in the Lost Temple - pretty much falls into this. For the whole game you're fighting human enemies, and while the natives in the temple seems to come from nowhere, they at least make sense since you're in an ancient temple in the middle of the jungle. And then suddenly a pair of floating monstrosities with burning skulls in place of their heads and can throw energy blasts from their hands come at you... what?
* HarmlessLiquefaction: Mutant Couba, the second-to-last boss, who appears from a septic tank as a humanoid BlobMonster form and can alternate between human and liquid goo forms at will.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight: More often than not, mooks armed with knives will try to attack Jack and Chang, even when they're holding firearms. It ends as predictably as you'd expect.
* MinecartMadness: The escape sequence from the Temple have Jack and Chang getting on minecarts and speeding their way out, avoiding pitfalls, obstacles and mooks on other carts. And also battling the second Huago brother on the way out.
* PsychoKnifeNut: The first boss, a vicious mercenary named Big Tom armed with knives, which he wields [[DualWield two at a time]]. Besides stabbing and slashing he also constantly throws them at Jack and Chang as projectiles, and seems to have an unlimited supply of combat knives.
* SkullForAHead: The Huago brothers from the Lost Temple stage have burning skulls in place of craniums, befitting their supernatural nature.
* SoldierVsWarrior: Jack, the soldier with a military background, and Chang, the martial arts practitioner with his own philosophies. In that order.
* ThrowABarrelAtIt: At the end of the motorcycle chase stage, Jack and Chang catches up with the G.H.O.S.T truck, blows it's top off, and must confront the stage's boss, Sam the burly henchman who fling barrels from behind the truck at the heroes.
