King Arthur

We’re well into the season of summer movie blockbusters and possibly one of the most anticipated movies is Jerry Bruckheimer’s King Arthur.

 

King Arthur, the game, allows you to assume the role of the movies heroes (five playable characters). Each individual character possesses unique characteristics, abilities and weapons. One of the more interesting features of the game seems to be the two player cooperative mode. Hopefully the cooperative mode proves to be as enjoyable as it was in Lord of the Rings.

 

The game does bear other resemblances to EA’s Lord of the Rings games. Both games incorporate video from the movies and use transitions from the video to the in-game visuals.  But what Lord of the Rings didn’t have was the lovely Keira Knightly!  King Arthur also boasts combat while on horseback.

 

 

Features:

Detailed facial scans from the outstanding cast members, including Clive Owen  and Keira Knightly.

 

Photo-realistic 3-D environments beautifully recreated from the film.

 

Dynamic fighting system featuring unprecedented combat via horseback component.

 

Motion-captured fighting sequences and moves.  (Even the horses went through motion capture! - Omni)

 

Deep story driven adventure that mirrors the plot of the film.

 

Seamless cut scene transition from film to game.

 

Upgradeable characters with unlockable special moves and combos.

 

Take control of the motion picture’s heroes: Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Tristren or Bors each with unique skills.

 

Single-player and Two-Player Co-operative.
