The ‘Rock’ stars in the new action packed Spy Hunter
July 30th 2006 16:21
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is set to star in the new Spy Hunter game Nowhere to Run which will land on the PS2 and Xbox this September. For those unfamiliar with The Rock, this character was a popular wrestler in the WWE (World Wrestling Federation) some odd years ago. After realising his stardom and reputation Hollywood jumped in and took The Rock into a series of action packed films including The Scorpion King and Walking Tall. Now gamers can play as The Rock in this new action packed title with the voice and appearance of The Rock genuinely in tact for this title.
The main gameplay follows The Rock as he attempts to retrieve his stolen ‘wonder-mobile’ (actually called the Interceptor…but it sure does wonders), blow up some baddies and rescue some hostages. The life of a hero can be tiresome, however players will be given the chance not only to use weapons such as guns and projectiles, but can actually pull off wrestling moves in The Rock fashion. Wresting and The Rock fans out there will sure be happy with this addition to the game.
Although players will move around maps on foot (similar to the Tomb Raider games), The Rock will also be able to control the Interceptor which is essentially a vehicle which can transform into a boat or motorbike and can fire a variety of weapons (think of a James Bond car on steroids). This follows the Spy Hunter theme and will surely put a mix into the gameplay.
This should be an interesting title with a star name on the advertising pitch (which is surely to attract fans of wrestling and The Rock alike). While the premise of the game in driving a powerful no-nonsense car and being the hero of the day is entertaining, it has been done time and time again. This title may or may not become a flop but it is also rumoured that The Rock may star in a Spy Hunter movie which raises concerns about wether this game will tie in with the movie for profits sake…arghh not another one.
