Malice: Kat`s Tale - PS2 Specific Details

PS2 version to have additional levels and game features over the Xbox version.

When Microsoft were first showing off the Xbox, Argonaut Malice was being promoted heavily not only as an exclusive title, but as a sign of what the machine can do. It must have left a few people with red faces when Argonaut changed publisher to Vivendi and announced the decision to release the game on the PS2 as well.

Today we learnt a few specific details regarding the PS2 version.

Malice for the PlayStation 2 will feature additional levels and gaming options that are unique to the PlayStation 2 version. It will also have a unique shadow system and an efficient PlayStation 2 rendering system that allows for more content and sound.

``All of this additional content will complement the distinctive modes of play with a visual feast for the gamer,`` said Joss Ellis, COO, Argonaut Games PLC. ``Malice is being developed to take full advantage of the PlayStation 2 architecture.``

``Malice is going to offer PlayStation 2 fans a surprising protagonist, one unlike any they've seen before,`` said Barbara Schwabe, vice president of marketing at Sierra. ``With significantly superior gameplay, visuals and audio, PlayStation 2 enthusiasts should expect a truly refreshing video gaming experience.``

``Malice is really an original and extraordinary heroine and I expect her character to turn the game into one of Sierra's leading franchises in the years to come,`` said Mike Ryder, president at Sierra. ``And with the depth of the story; incredibly original content, and its compelling graphics, the game is positioned to be one of the great platform-adventure games on the next generation console systems.``

Boasting a tough and sassy teenage heroine, players will no doubt grow addicted to guiding through time in order to undo the terror of a nuclear Dog God gone mad. Malice features 22 levels, a truly original story, and a cast of quirky characters. It's been heralded for its fantastic graphics, unique weaponry, compelling storyline, and intriguing heroine.

Nah, X-box version has a few extra tweaks. Like the ability to save at any time when you are playing a Level. Thats just down to the X-box saving onto the hard-drive though methinks.

It will only be better graphically me thinks, as Max Payne on the PS2 is a fantastic game.

Very childish.

It's like when Munche's Oddysee (Which was being ranted and raved about by PS2 gamers), became Xbox exclusive!

It sure is, so in the spirit of things.

One word: Halo.

Me childish? Not in the slightest ;)

Nah, seriously though, it'll be interesting to see if the PS2 version can match up against the XBox one because I thought it actually looked quite impressive when I see it running.
