Gaming News - January 2007
New York, NY (January 9, 2007) - Atari today announced that Arthur and the Invisibles is now in stores nationwide
for the PlayStation 2, Windows, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS. The PSP
version will ship in February.
From Atari:
Arthur and the Invisibles is directly inspired by the CGI
animated film of the same name by world famous film director and writer Luc
Besson and features the film's storyline, eye-popping graphics and technical
innovations. The film, distributed by MGM/The Weinstein Company, opens
nationwide on January 12th.
Arthur and the Invisibles invites players to relive the fantastic adventure
of
young Arthur and his two pals, princess Selenia and her brother Betameche, in
their mission to save the Land of the Invisibles and its inhabitants from
destruction. As they move through the Land of the Invisibles, players will
encounter extraordinary adventures, menacing enemies, rich environments and
varying gameplay elements including driving, fighting, flying and puzzle
solving. The game offers an intense enactment of Besson's magnificent
adventure while incorporating all of the richness and extraordinary visuals of
the film.
"Arthur and the Invisibles is a brilliant adventure game that not only
showcases Luc Besson's fantastic universe but further extends it by bringing
the on-screen charm and action to an interactive medium that is eye-popping,
engaging and extremely fun," said Rick Mehler, Director, Marketing, Atari, Inc.
"Arthur and the Invisibles is a rare gem of a game that outshines other titles
based on movies."
Arthur and the Invisibles' unique and innovative game structure revolves
around
the supportive co-op teamwork of the three characters, Arthur, Selenia and
Betameche. Players can only progress by cleverly combining the three
characters' skills -- Arthur is an acrobat, Selenia a warrior and Betameche a
marksman. In solving mysteries and overcoming obstacles, players will realize
that anything is possible when you work together.
