The game's storyline follows a separate team than the console games, using a parallel storyline to tie the two together. Your two-man team of Brian Armstrong (who you'll play for most of the game) and Shawn Rivers need to stop a terrorist plot to contaminate the water in and around Las Vegas. While the story takes place outside of Las Vegas, in the surrounding areas rather than downtown, it happens at the same time as the events of the console/PC game, making the overall threat seem even larger than the singular perspective you'll see in either game.
