Along with the movie…there is a game: Ghost Rider

The new action flick based on the comic series of Ghost Rider will be transformed into the gaming scene this February for the PS2, PSP and Xbox. Marvel Comics is having a joy ride with the amount of games making profits due to its popular franchise, and this new title will be no exception. Ghost Rider is famous for the fiery skull and motorcycle racing, where demons are fought and souls absorbed.
Ghost Rider will be set after the film’s ending, which is a good step in avoiding the ‘remake-of-the-film-game’ genre which has become a downfall in the gaming scene. Players familiar with the fighting style imposed in the Devil May Cry series will be at home with the controls in this title. Players will be able to pull off a range of combos and even a finisher move when attacking enemies. The motorcycle will also be in use which should add a variety playing style throughout the title.
Players will also be able to unlock Blade who is a half vampire and half human. Blade is a popular figure, and made a big impact on the movie screens with the trilogy of films. Moreover, Blade will have his own unique set of moves for players to dish out during the game. Multiplayer modes are also present with a racing mode an interesting components which will see players battle it off on tracks and in arenas. One disappointment with this title however is the fact that it isn’t on the new-gen consoles. This baffles me at the moment, but maybe we will see another installment of the title if the film is a big success.
