PS2 games Review
17 August 2007
Alvin and the Chipmunks are coming to the PS2, it has been revealed. A new title featuring the long-term falsetto favourites is under development by Brash Entertainment. It is to challenge the player to a battle of the bands - called Rockathonapalooza - as Alvin, Simon and Theodore aim to assert themselves as the number one music act, bar none. Tracks spanning the ages are to be given the Chipmunk once-over, including songs by Elvis Presley and REM, as well as slightly more recent tunes by Run DMC and Blink 182. The game is expected to ship on December 4th, just in time for Christmas.
Also predicted for release during the holiday season is Fire Pro Wrestling Returns, previously available on the Game Boy Advance. The franchise was established in Japan in 1989 and this new instalment continues the tradition of setting the standard for others to follow, according to game publisher Agetec. The company adds that the title is frequently considered to be the best version yet among those who have played it. "We're doing everything we can to make sure the game is translated successfully without taking away one iota from the gameplay that's made this Fire Pro a fan favourite," states producer Mark Johnson.
Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Vol 1 has beaten both to the shelves as it shipped earlier this month, publisher SNK Playmore reveals. Comprising four variations from the early stages of the franchise's history, the title offers the chance to relive some classic arcade action on a next-generation console. Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special and Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory are the four incarnations to make an appearance in this compilation. SNK notes that the initial edition of the game was the first to include character movement along two axes, allowing opponent attacks to be dodged.
