"Ubi Soft's newest game, Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu will have the unique claim of being the first video game to introduce a brand new character to the Batman universe." |
It looks like Ubi Soft intends to get every bit of utility from it's "Batman" license as it looks to release it's third game using the caped crusader.
Ubi Soft's newest game, Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu will have the unique claim of being the first video game to introduce a brand new character to the Batman universe.
Speaking of characters, there will be a few returning personalities that you will recognize immediately including Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl. Clayface, Scarecrow and Bane will round out previously seen villains in the series. Sin Tzu will be a completely new character and will represent the game's main antagnonist.
Apparently, Sin Tzu is looking for a fight (what villain isn't?). A master in the deadly art of war (hmmm....), Sin Tzu is driven by a lone desire -to conquer. Scouring the world in search of only the worthiest adversaries, Sin Tzu has descended upon Gotham City to defeat the Caped Crusader.
From looking at the early screens, it seems that the game will be action based in the Double Dragon style of gaming.
Some of the games features include:
- Four Supervillains: Battle Batman's most infamous enemies including Bane, Clayface, Scarecrow - each making their first ever video game appearances - and the formidable Sin Tzu.
- Two-Player Cooperative Gameplay: Go at it alone as Batman or recruit backup. Invite a friend into the battle as Nightwing, Robin or Batgirl in 2-player cooperative fighting mode.
- 35 Batman Attacks: Topple Sin Tzu's soldiers of crime with more than 35 martial arts moves and dazzling combos.
- 12 Levels: Battle your way through the Gotham City Docks, Crime Alley, Arkham Asylum and more.
- Play as Batman, Robin, Nightwing, or Batgirl in single-player mode: Each character features unique fighting moves.
Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu has an ESRB rating of "E" for Everyone and will have a suggested retail price of $39.99. It is scheduled to ship Fall 2003. Stay tuned as we learn more about this new title from Ubi Soft.
