Video Gaming News - May 2002
Santa Monica, CA (May 20, 2002) - Activision, Inc. today announced of
X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube.
In this third-person action-adventure game, players take control of the ultimate
fighting mutant to fight man and machine alike in an action-packed journey
through the Marvel Universe. X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge is expected to ship in
the spring of 2003 and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
"After more than 300 comic books, an animated series and most recently a
blockbuster feature film featuring the X-Men, Wolverine is the one character
that grips the public's attention more than any of the other X-Men," states
Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "X-Men:
Wolverine's Revenge allows you to play as Wolverine, explore the enigmatic
hero's past and carve up a host of bad guys along the way."
From Activision:
Featuring an original storyline written exclusively for Activision by comics'
industry legend Larry Hama, and featuring the voices of Mark Hamill and Patrick
Stewart, X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge allows players to assume the role of
Wolverine, everyone's favorite X-Men tough guy. In the game, Wolverine faces a
race against time to find an antidote to the viral time bomb that's just been
discovered in his system. With only 48 hours to live, Wolverine returns to the
clandestine Department H facility deep in the Canadian wilderness, to uncover
the terrible secrets behind the Weapon X laboratory and the experiments that
turned the mutant hero into a precision killing machine.
As with all mutants, Wolverine has unique abilities that set him apart from
the rest of humanity - deadly claws to defeat the greatest of foes, animal-like
super senses to assist in tracking enemies, an enhanced mutant healing factor
and unbreakable bones to withstand devastating amounts of punishment, and
superior strength and reflexes for an added edge in combat. In X-Men:
Wolverine's Revenge players will have to master all of these skills in order to
defeat the sinister forces massing against them led by arch-villains Juggernaut,
Wendigo, Magneto and Sabertooth. Luckily, players won't have to face the
onslaught alone and can expect occasional backup from fellow X-Men including
Professor-X and Beast.
X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge is being developed by U.K.-based developers
Warthog PLC and Gene Pool.
