You can start of the first level of the game, or you can play the tutorial first. We're playing the tutorial.

You start as a man named Jutah (pronounced "YOO-tah"). This man is not only a soldier, he is a highly-trained killing machine who knows only the battlefield. You start with a flashback of his training.

At times, you will need to clear debris, especially debris marked with a "Target" marker. To plant a bomb, use the Square button. To detonate, press Triangle. Make sure that you are a safe distance away from the blast before detonating. Sometimes, you will need a group of multiple bombs - also known as a "stack" - to get rid of some tough debris. Lay multiple bombs with Square, then give yourself distance between you and the bombs, then detonate with Triangle. By looking in the upper-right corner, you'll see that you have a maximum of two bombs that you can plant at any time. You can, however, increase that maximum number during gameplay. 

You'll then face some enemies. Destroy the container that you see with a bomb, then grab the Lock-On Unit. A helicopter will show up. When you have the Lock-On Unit, hold down Square to activate your Sight, then get the enemy into it. When you have a yellow line lined up with the enemy, let go of Square to plant a bomb on the enemy. From there, you can detonate with Triangle.

The enemy helicopter will drop Napalm Liquid. Using this in conjunction with your bombs will result in more powerful and deadly explosions. To the left of your life gauge in the upper-left corner is an orange icon signifying that you can use Napalm Liquid five times. Press Circle to use your currently selected special bomb liquid, and detonate with Triangle. When you have multiple liquids, you can switch between them with . Use them wisely, as you only have a limited amount.

After destroying one last set of debris, you'll face a group of enemies. Press the Jump button twice to activate your Burst Drive. This allows you to perform an air dash. Use this to avoid getting shot as well as to get some distance. From here, use your Lock-On Unit to take out the helicopters. You'll then face a tank.

Use your Lock-On Unit to plant bombs on the tank, and stay on the move so you don't get shot. This is a simple boss. From here, you'll get a cutscene where Jutah destroys an enemy installation automatically only to find out that civilians were inside. The person who is commanding Jutah orders him to burn the place to the ground. From there, the flashback ends by fading to white with screams of civilians, including a female.

From there, we get a cutscene of Jutah waking up from a bad dream. It has been seven years since the events of the flashback happened. Jutah is on a spaceship heading to another larger spaceship in the security zone of someone named Dante to save someone known as "Hornet." When the crack team that Jutah is working with - which is really a group of prisoners sent in to destroy a spaceship - moves in, they are somehow found out and shot at by the defense cannons, and everyone has to be jettisoned from the ship, which goes down. Jutah manages to survive his capsule's crash landing. Unfortunately, everyone else gets shot down, and from here, it's time to destroy all the anti-aircraft weaponry.
