Red Zone is a 1994 shoot 'em up video game, developed by Zyrinx and published by Time Warner Interactive for the Sega Genesis.

The player switches between piloting a helicopter and walking around on foot, both can be played from a top-down and first person shooter point of view.

The game is notable for its use of several technologies that were not prevalent at the time on the Genesis/Mega Drive, such as full-screen rotation, 3D vectors, real-time zoom, and full-motion video.

[5] GamePro praised the helicopter handling and graphical intro, but concluded that the poor controls when maneuvering characters on the ground effectively killed any potential enjoyment.

[6] Next Generation rated the game 3 out of 5 stars, stating that "While Red Zone's plot and gameplay are known as 'rip-offs' from Urban Strike, the enormous challenges fundamentally make this title a viable alternative to the ongoing success of the Strike series.
