Preview: The Red Star

[Nick]

I see a pattern here.

No, not a boss pattern. I'm talking about the return of the beat-'em-up. Most of them still wrap themselves in a hack-and-slash fantasy motif, but how long can it be before we own the streets of Metro City again?

No, not the <i>Astro Boy</i> Metro City. . . .That's an article (or two) for a different day.

Nice preview :-D

I read in EGM in a preview of the Red Star that the developers said that they were heavily influenced in making the gameplay for this game by *gasp* Metal SLug and Samurai Shodown 4 :-D Heck yes!! :-) RESPECT for the old school! :-D

I hope it turns out as good as I think it will be :-)

I played the demo fo this game and really enjoyed it. I really liked the boss battles, they were like playing a shooter! Does anybody know if the Xbox and PS2 versions will differ in any way?

I thought that this game was cancled or something?

It's not cancelled, at least not yet. It's all up to whether Acclaim can actually get anything published or not at this point.
