Video Gaming News - June 2003
Los Angeles, CA (June 19, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games announced
today that the sci-fi action shooter Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter is shipping to
retail stores nationwide for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox. Mace Griffin
will also be available for Windows PC and for Nintendo GameCube in early
September.
From Vivendi Universal:
Against a futuristic backdrop of corporate, religious and political intrigue,
players will take up the quest of Mace Griffin, once a valued member of an elite
police force, The Rangers. Griffin becomes the unsuspecting pawn in a sabotaged
incident that kills his comrades and disbands the Rangers, and earns him a
10-year stint behind bars. Emerging from prison hardened and bitter, he becomes
a bounty hunter, a vocation that gives him access to classified information and
a means to aggressively search for the people who set him up to fall. The
character of Mace Griffin is being brought to life by hard rock front man, actor
and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins.
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter features Warthog Studios’ TUSK technology,
enabling players to transition seamlessly between space combat and FPS action.
This tale of revenge and redemption unfolds through 11 massive levels, combining
multiple mission objectives in a diverse array of environments. Throughout the
game, players will be able to pilot a variety of different ships, from quick
alien scout fighters to massive carriers. In first person mode, players will
have access to an equally dangerous collection of weapons with both primary and
secondary attacks.
Developed by U.K.-based Warthog Studios, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter, ships to
retailers at a suggested price of $49.99 and an ESRB rating of “M” for Mature.
