I am constantly counting down the minutes until 300 comes out in theaters. Now, I'm being taunted by 300: March to Glory, being released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Eidos for the PSP.
This is one of those movies to games that I think could actually work. The comic and film are both extremely action based, with the bulk of the enjoyment coming from the action scenes. If the in-game camera can suddenly change for when you perform a "wrath attack," which I can only assume to be something like a finishing move, to show the attack in a cinematic light, then I think it'll add quite a bit to the enjoyment of the game. The trailer shows off the finishing moves, which look like God of War meets Prince of Persia.
From the descriptions on the site, it seems as though your health will rely on you continually fighting. While this seems like something that is a little unfair, it really forces the player into the Spartan mindset of constant combat. The only thing that seems to be lacking is the amount of time spent on this game. I have a feeling that like the comic, this will not take very long to get through, and that you'll be left with a somewhat unfufilled feeling.
The game will let you play either as King Leonidas and fight on your own, or as a phalanx group. I have a feeling the game will let you switch between the two in battle, depending on what sort of enemy you're facing. There isn't a lot of gameplay footage as of yet, but hopefully there will be more information on how this combat system works later.
Anyways, take a look at the screens and let me know what you think, since this game might push me over the edge into getting a PSP, but I want to hear if the PSP owners will be buying this or not.
[Thanks to cannibalcalvin for sending this in!]
I wonder if this will be fun. I'm stoked about the movie, but a game? Maybe they will use the Dynasty Warriors formula
This is getting really negative buzz from the gaming press who have had a chance to play it, be warned. I can't wait for the movie however, the comic rules.
I dunno, I'm interested... sort of.
It'll take a real strong game to sway this genre considering God of War 2 is coming out soon. People might pick one of the other, and I doubt there exists many psp owners without ps2s.
Hope it doesn't suck.
I'm going to go see this movie as soon as it comes out in IMAX and then perform auto-fellatio.
The coolest thing about the comic is the vastness of the swarming Persians against you... it would be a great accomplishment to that off on a psp.
I'll certainly be checking it out, but I imagine it'll be a bit sparse.
looks like a bad game.
i didn't know what to think when you explained how this, of all psp games, could possibly be the one to 'push you over the edge' into getting a psp.
Well, I've been of the attitude that "I want a PSP, but I don't need to get it right now." If this game actually turns out to be good, then it'd probably change my buying habits to "Get a PSP already!"
Mxyzptlk, where have you seen press for the game so far?
I just assume that games based on a movie or a license will automatically suck. That way, if 1 out of 100 games is actually good, I'll be pleasantly surprised. If the game sucks, well, it is based on a movie/license.
Otherwise, my default policy for new games is "cautious optimism."
@ Dick McV:
I've heard impressions on a few gaming podcasts from the 1up.com network and elsewhere, everything I've heard was in the "don't bother, fuck this game." vein. This was within this month, so they likely were using near-final copies. It could just be that the people saying this really disliked the hack & slash genre or something. All I'm saying is wait for the reviews before picking it up. I'd personally like for it to be awesome, because it has some cool ideas. The stuff I heard kinda bummed me out though.
The movie will rock. I probably won't get the game because God of War 2 will be better.
DOWNLOAD ZUDEO AND WATCH THE HI DEF TRAILER
Let us Digg everything, please, we're good to Digg.
the minute after seeing the trailer for 300 I forgot what movie I was in the theatre to see and that's all I could think about for a while. The game on the other hand looks like it could be interesting. BUT I agree with Mxyzptlk, and since Necros already said it better; "Cautious Optimism"
on the other hand, this game would be fun if you approached it with "Copious Opium."
bad movie/bad game. at least they it's a faithful adaptation?
Th emovie I heard is supposed to be GREAT but the game is supposed to be wretched. Bad graphics, boring fights and thats all you do, randomly fight in arenas.
Don't buy a PSP for this!
I more so want a PSP for Loco Roco, MGS: PO, the upcoming FFT game, and about a half dozen other games.
Hmm.. am I the only noticing Sony is self ignoring the PS3? god of war 2 ok, thats difficult to even port. But Ghost raider and 300?
If blue ray is THAT expensive they should at least do some downloadable Sony network games. Plants are dying at PS3 title desert land you know?
-Dick: Not a good idea to buy a PSP WAIT at least til E3.
[cough][cough](psp Lite is coming, psp normal is getting the boot!)[/cough][/cough]
Chances are if those moves they showed in the trailer are the ONLY moves you can do then it will be a repetitive hack and slash. I personally don't think a video game for this kind of movie would be interesting...unless is was strategy based :).
