Santa Monica, CA (May 25, 2004) - Atlus U.S.A. has shipped River City
Ransom EX for the Game Boy Advance to retailers nationwide.
From Atlus:
Panic strikes River City!
"To the citizens of River City: I hold your high school captive! With my gangs
of students and vicious bosses roaming the streets, nobody can stop me now! Meet
my demands - or else!" Slick, the meanest, most powerful gang lord in River
City, has issued this ultimatum - and the entire town is powerless in a grip of
fear!
Fortunately, Alex and Ryan weren't in school the day Slick took it over. But
now, their fellow students are prisoners - including Ryan's girlfriend! It's up
to our two young heroes to battle their way past several dangerous city gangs,
then defeat the gang lord to free the students of River City High and restore
peace to the panic-stricken populace!
"With its unique character building system and customization, River City Ransom
EX truly is the 'RPG of side-scrolling fighting games,'" said Akibo Shieh,
Project Lead, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. "We are bringing to life a videogame classic to
the Game Boy Advance and we look forward to developing other titles based on
this awesome franchise."
Features:
- Lively dialogue colors each character. Listen carefully for clues, or
smack a punk around if he talks too much.
- Be a mallrat and stock up on food and items. Discover dollars on downed
deadbeats.
- The game keeps track of exactly how you play. Load up previous data to
fight against yourself (or your friends!).
- Completely customize your game—difficulty, speed, name, look, game
balance, and strategy are all yours to control.
- Build up your reputation and form a posse. If you’re bad enough, reformed
bosses may even join your crew.
- Discover new characters and techniques every time you play. The journey
will adapt to your unique style of gaming!
