ExcitingCapitalisation: NeoTokyo

It's the big mod release of the moment, and it's stylish enough to be worth a post. Running off the Source engine, NeoTokyo is a class-based team-orientated shooter with one eye staring longingly at their Ghost in the Shell box-set and the other at their Akira deluxe edition.

You can download it from a mass of mirrors and you'll find its incredibly elegantly done trailer beneath the cut.

It took me a far too many clicks around their site to actually find any actual features of the game (Class-based high-tech abilities like active camoflage and alternate vision, XP-system, squad-management systems), y'know?

So... let's do their job for them. Who's played it? What do you make of it?
