Video Gaming News - June 2004
Redmond, WA (June 16, 2004) - Microsoft Game Studios today announced
that Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space is in development and slated for a holiday
2004 release.
From Microsoft:
Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space is the world's first 5-D game, giving
players control over both Time and Space. Using customized characters, gamers
can choose to battle against one another in Battle Mode or team up in two-player
Cooperative Mode.
In development by Japan-based Artoon, Co. Ltd., Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space
throws players into the shoes of a heroic cat bravely taking control of time in
order to face tough battles and puzzling challenges. Just like using a VCR
remote control, players' customized cats have the power to slow down the action,
pause, review, fast-forward, record and even combine them in challenging
situations. As the story unfolds, players will also step into the role of the
enemy pigs to gain control of the space continuum in a variety of stealth
missions. Players will create their own customized pigs and feel like they have
control over black holes and worm holes.
Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space features various multiplayer modes that will
allow gamers to get their friends in on the action. Players can grab a friend
and play through the story in two-player Cooperative Mode, compete in
multiplayer Battle Mode with up to four players on one Xbox or make their ways
through the single-player missions on their own. Those who choose to play
through the storyline cooperatively will need to overcome tougher groups of
enemies and unique two-player challenges with strategy and teamwork. Cooperative
players will also be rewarded with unique map locations that are only accessible
in two-player mode. In Battle Mode, gamers can choose to lead a squad of cats
using time control powers or command a team of enemy pigs using space control
powers. Whether they are playing through single player missions or any of the
multiplayer modes, players can fully customize their cats and pigs by designing
the character's face, body and clothing.
