I was there. I got a chance to play the GR game. It was good, although it still needs work the company is going in the right direction. Plus, the rider talked! It was so loud that I thought he was right behind me!

Dang it. I wish they would show some stuff. All of what we have seen isn't that good.

It certainly doesn't help that whomever was playing it for both of the demos I've seen seemed to lack opposable thumbs. Even the coolest game ever looks crappy if the demo videos aren't played right.

Majesco Entertainment Company announced that they are in active development on a video game based on Marvel's ever-popular cult Super Hero Ghost Rider. The game rises out of the licensing deal finalized earlier this year between Majesco and Marvel Enterprises, Inc. through which Majesco acquired the worldwide rights to publish video games based on the popular Marvel super hero for the PlayStation computer

entertainment console, PSP and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Currently under development by Climax Group, Ghost Rider is scheduled to ship in summer 2006 in conjunction with Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios cinematic release starring Nicolas Cage as the Ghost Rider.

"Given its unique mix of motorcycle combat, supernatural themes and popular Marvel characters, Ghost Rider is the perfect property to translate into a video game," said Jesse Sutton, president of Majesco. "The simultaneous release of our game and the feature film event will ensure that Ghost Rider is next summer's biggest Super Hero."

Ghost Rider sets the big screen on fire! Motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze was born to ride! Desperate to save the life of his father, Johnny strikes a deal with the vile Mephistopheles for the most precious of commodities, his immortal soul. Mephistopheles keeps his promise, but in return, Johnny is forever destined to ride through the night, avenging evil as the Ghost Rider, never to be re-united with the love of his life.

Reflecting the stylized action of the Marvel comic series and Sony Pictures upcoming film, Ghost Rider offers a unique game play combination that includes deep combo-based combat and fast-paced motorcycle action on the supernatural Hell Cycle. Penned by famed comic writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti, the game's high-octane storyline unleashes Ghost Rider on familiar villains from the comic universe.

First released into the spotlight in 1972, Marvel's Ghost Rider comic series has sold more than 45 million copies to date. A new limited series comic written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Clayton Crain is due out in September 2005.

This game is gonna rock!!

On the front page today is a little interview about Marvel Ultimate Alliance:
http://superherohype.com/news/featuresnews.php?id=4669

What's awesome about it is that the interviewee says that his favorite character to play is Ghost Rider! Yee Haw.

It's a pretty good read even without that tidbit. Check it out.

question about the game, is it coming out for 360? or is it current gen consoles only?

 

[FlameHead]

That's a good question. I'm not sure, personally.

I did however come across these pics of the GR game:

And there's a little write up about it here as well:

[xwolverine2]

ive given up hope on game/movie adaptations...

there always made for xbox and ps2 then converted to 360 and ps3 which leave out the best graphics they can make.....

and its always like 12 levels then you never play it again.....

for a 60$ pricetag.......i aint buying it

 

[Mr Nick]

Y'never know. It might end up as good as Spidey 2 was.

Ooo, new smilies..

 

[Chris Wallace]

Having played the demo, I can't wait for this game to drop!

 

[Ghost Ridin']

Yeah looks good so far I hope that some of the hellcycle missions let you drive up the side of buildings just like in the trailer.
