WinBack 2: Project Poseidon is a third-person shooter developed by Cavia and released in 2006 for Xbox and PlayStation 2. The game follows a three-member assault team led by Craig Contrell, tasked with recovering a doomsday weapon before it can destabilize global security. A central feature is the "route" system, which allows players to replay missions from the perspective of different operatives, adding structural variety across the game's 30 missions set in urban environments and various conveyances. Each operative is proficient with six weapon types and trained in close-quarters combat, with an emphasis on target identification and accurate shot placement. The arsenal includes a sniper rifle among other weapons. Multiple difficulty levels provide additional replayability. The game builds on the series' distinctive shooting mechanics while expanding the cast and introducing mission structure designed around perspective-shifting gameplay.
