An alarm goes off so Jordan leaves Torque to investigate the problem. Soon after, the guards are brutally killed for unknown reason and Torque is freed.

Multiple Story Lines

Unlike the previous installment, the player actions do not affect the story. Instead, it determines the kind of powerup players get when Torque transforms. The story is determined by the player's previous save files which unlocks Good and Evil story paths to choose at the beginning of the game, with neutral being the default.
