Lupin
the Third: Treasure of the Sorcerer King
Get ready for some cel-shaded action with Lupin the Third: Treasure of the Sorcerer King on its way to the Playstation 2. The popular cartoon show on Cartoon Network is going console in 2004, along with his arsenal of weapons, friends, and, of course, sexy women. Lupin isn’t your common superhero. He’s more like your common thief…in the most uncommon of ways. The name of the game is stealth and Lupin must use his array of disguises and sneaky techniques in order to find his booty.

If it’s authenticity you enjoy, you should be happy to know that all the key characters from the show will be featured in his journey and will be voiced by the actual actors themselves. Keep in mind that the game is strictly PG with a lot of puzzle solving and perhaps some mild violence here and there. Fans of the show are sure to have a great time with this adventure out only on the PS2 and available in early February.
