The setting is Earth the not too distant future .... earth has resolved most of global conflict it has been many years since anyone on earth has fired a weapon. In a nearby solar system a group of starships convoying a race of warmongering aliens notices earth. Upon scanning the planet they see a weak and undefended race.. the aliens ( a bit like klingons in star trek (haven't thought of a decent name)) attack. Earth is devasted however a group of rebels some remebering the old war ways develop an elite fighting force using the most up to date technology they have . (Again no decent name thought of yet) this force manage to repel the attackers. Many years after the attack earth is once again peaceful and all remnents of the war have passed. Earth has generated a force field to repel attacks and the fighting force has now become ambassadors for earth's growing interest in other galaxies. Some retain the including you (the main character) still hold on to fighting traditions. The game now begins as you are on ambassador duty on a nearby planet when you hear a distress signal.. earth has been attacked again this time they have more powerful weapons and have hit the fighting force's main headquarters and are holding all the fighting force's mamber in detention camps. You the are the only hope left you must get back to free the prisoners and amount a counter attack. Hurrying to space ship on thought is on your mind how did they get pass the force field? (a twist in the plot later) You hurry back to earth with nothing more than a sword (a bit like a light sabre). You head for the capital city but are forced to land elsewhere. Stepping out of your ship you see a convoy of enemy vehicles heading for a detention camp. (this now begins the first level ) your objective is get whoever it is out of the truck. As the convoy is lightly guarded this would make an easy first level to get used to battle. The main character should be a bit like a jedi/samurai type guy but with body armour etc...however you gain this sort of items later depending on how well you complete the level. e.g. a stealth suite, jet pack etc...but any way this level should be simple and the guards not too difficult to beat. The enemies should have laser weapons which can be deflected by your sword (i know sounds like a jip of starwars) but don't worry the battles should give the gamer an experience of being able to handle every different situation with a move. This creates more realism. By this I mean that when the enemy blocks it should be very defined not just a flash of light indicated that it has blocked and not just block attack, block attack. but for example when the player holds square this locks weapons and gives way to whole new set of moves, throws etc. Defending should be more defined as well say for example the block button was r1 this activates a standard block but then you have to adjust your weapon in block mode to suite the enemy's attack direction. This is how the enemies get betternot by being quicker but with trickier combos to defend..... Anyway sorry about that back to the plot after you rescue your friend from the enemy he tells you were the prison camp is and how to get in. The first level can contain mission objectives like having to create a diversion but not just one option MORE this gives the game more scope and effect how the plot goes for example you create an explosion to distract an enemy (one option) you can then choos to blow up a fuel tank. This may block the route to the vehicle to where your freind is. This effects the how you are rated at the end of level based on the descions u choose. (a bit like resident evil nemesis). Again sorry about that. After finding out about the prison you head off (your friend could help u too in battles) you find a way in and bust two friends out. They say the rest of the team was killed and the four of you are they only survivors. You then find out that te next thing to do is regai the headquarters. You set off and encounter an enemy artillery post. (next level is destroy this) After that you go on to the city and fight your way to the HQ you are then dispatched to rescue civilians.. upon rescuing one of them he tells you that the force field was deactivated by the alien mother ship and this is what must be destroyed. A plan is then devised to capture the next ship heading to the mother ship this is a crago vessel which u sneak aboard. Upon going to the main control room to gain control of the craft you hear a conversation. You notice that is a renegade commando bloke. This guy gave the aliens the ability to shut of the force field! You jump in and confront him...this is a special force guy and is tough ( a bit like darth maul I suppose) Anyway after a tough battle he knocks you to the ground damaging the controls.. he legs it for an escape pod as do u. Knowing that your only hope now is to try and reach the mother ship aboard the escape pod you wait. Once aboard three things happen you fight your way through a host of tough enemies to the bridge where u see the renegade commando and the big boss of the aliens. U fights it out with him after kicking his ass you have a go at the boss he is very difficult and wields a huge sword and is a meathead. After thinking you destroy him u go bust up the controls and leg it back. But now some thing else has happened big boss has activated his walking death machine and is now heading for earth. (this is now the last boss and having all the special items will com in handy. You will also need a special laser Blaster thingy that you acquire for beating various bosses. After destroying the 20-foot death machine with your big ass Blaster you save the world and live happily ever after yippe.
(sorry for writing such a long message but it needed to be said. ) hop you can find something from this but I would take note gamers like a realistic, easy to use character with lots of moves..because when all is said and done playing the game is 10 times more important than the plot. This game would be a 3rd person action/adventure game.

Your game idea is basically just a short SCI-FI story, but that's ok.
