Horror game will lanuch in March.

Midway Games Inc. informed VGLN.com today that The Suffering, a game set inside the seedy underbelly of a maximum-security penitentiary haunted by horrific and grotesque apparitions, has gone gold and will to ship to stores on March 8th for the Xbox.

The Suffering captures the disturbing and terrifying nature of the horror genre in a compelling third-person action/adventure game set in the mature and gritty world of a maximum-security penitentiary. By alternating periods of tense and terror-filled exploration with frenetic combat sequences, The Suffering creates the ultimate experience of terror. The game features 9 levels, and 10 weapons for the player to weild during the course of the game. In the dark world of The Suffering, creatures jump out of shadows, fall out of trees, and erupt out of the ground, attacking the player in the most frightening ways possible. Along with a cast of uniquely hardened criminals and guards, players battle not only the ghoulish apparitions besieging the prison, but also the demons of their own forgotten past.
