Reservoir Dogs is based on the infamous Tarantino movie of the same name. It’s designed not only to invoke the story of the original film but also to fill in the “missing parts” – action alluded to in the film that did not occur onscreen. The game will include several elements to tie it into the film including cutscenes that replay scenes from the movie and convey the major plot points and a soundtrack lifted straight from the movie. Also, Michael Madsen will reprise his role of Mr. Blonde, made infamous in a certain scene involving an ear (it hasn’t been determined yet if this scene will appear in the game).

Reservoir Dogs was a violent movie by any account and you can certainly take a run and gun approach to the game. However, the game will give you leeway in determining your course of action. You’ll be able to neutralize enemies and bystanders through intimidation, allowing you to spare their lives rather than killing everyone that you see.

In addition to the ten third-person shooter missions that game will include six driving missions. Each of these missions will have a unique objective, so they each should play out differently. The mission shown at E3 began right after Mr. Orange was shot while carjacking and you’re challenge is to get him to safety before he dies. Of course, the police would like nothing better than to get in your way and stop you.

Look for Reservoir Dogs on the PC, PS2, and Xbox in Fall 2006.
