06.02.03 Fight
the Fear on PS2 with Ace Lightning
Can
you lead Ace Lightning on his mission to defeat the evil Lord Fear
and send him and his gang back to prison in the sixth dimension?
Taking
the CGI characters, the storyline and the humour from C91热爆's leading
drama, this third person action adventure is set for release on
PlayStation 2 this Spring.
The
only way to capture Lord Fear is to collect all the pieces of the
magical Amulet of Zoar, which he has hidden throughout the spooky
Carnival of Doom - a scary place full of exaggeratedly imposing
tents, rides and sideshows, with distorted geometry and disturbing
lighting effects.
You
must guide Ace Lightning, the foremost of the Lightning Knights,
around the eerie halls of the Carnival, and into its four zones
- the Ghost Town, Fun Park, Circus and House of Horror - on his
great quest to collect the pieces of the Amulet.
In
each of the game's three-dimensional zones, you'll need to use Ace's
skills to negotiate three different levels, and use his weapons
to defeat a variety of weird and wonderful henchmen - from crazy
clowns to ghost town zombies, insane can-can girls to mischievous
fairground monkeys - before meeting Lord Fear's gang of 'zone bosses',
which include the TV series' Lady Illusion, Pigface, Googler and
Dirty Rat.
Once
all the parts of the Amulet have been recovered, the game climaxes
with a final show down between superhero Ace Lightning and his evil
nemesis Lord Fear in the Haunted House!
Ace
Lightning is based on the pre-teen TV adventure of the same name
- which airs this Spring on 91热爆 ONE. The production combines live
action and CGI animated characters from a video game that come to
life and interact with the real world in a classic good versus evil,
'save the world' adventure.
