The Story Behind Ultraman
Ultraman Great is the ultimate warrior and protector of peace in the entire universe. This game has received mostly negative reviews due to its high difficulty and sub-par graphics. But the Earth's polluted atmosphere poses a threat to Ultraman and he has to become part of a human's molecular structure.
It is based on the TV series Ultraman, with the Japanese version being based on the 1966 series and the North American version being based on the contemporary Ultraman: Towards the Future series. Ultraman must now battle Gudis and his mutant monsters on Earth. Jack Shindo has the ability to transform into Ultraman Great by using his Delta Plasma Pendant (which holds Ultraman within his molecular profile) to transfer his molecules into that of the interstellar hero.
