Before you begin a new game, you may choose between a one player game and a two player game. In a one player game, you must play against a computer-controlled opponent. In a two player game, each player takes command of one of the opposing teams. There is no cooperative mode available in this game; two players may not control members of one team against a computer controller team. | Before you begin a new game, you may choose between a one player game and a two player game.
