New Iron Maiden Videogame On the Way

[bueno bob]

According to a posting on the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenNorway.com, Norwegian video game developer Hybris is working on a new game based on MAIDEN's music and the band's mascot Eddie. The game has been awarded a grant from the Norwegian Film Fund for the first phase of development for this new game which has been given the working title "Play With Madness".

The dramatic setting for this new game is a mix of the Northern mythology gods (Odin, Thor and the others) and MAIDEN's universe. Play With Madness contains a fantastic gallery of characters. The idea is that the Northern Gods reach out to Eddie and the band when Ragnarok (the end of the world) approaches. The action kicks off with Eddie being given an assignment from Odin, and starts his world tour which brings him to a bloody battle between Norwegian Vikings and Japanese Samurai, among other things. The player will be thrown into Ragnarok with the force of heavy metal!

.......eh..........OK........

Apparently if you nail 1000 notes straight in one of those Guitar Hero games, you get the "Yngwie Bonus" or something...lol

This setting is SO BAD, it just gotta be good.

Seriously, my expectations are already so low just from reading that pile of tripe that ANYTHING they release will probably look good.

That said, Ed Hunter was entertining. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think I'm gonna play it...

Cheers! :bottle:

I liked Ed Hunter.

Okay, it`s well dated now but at the time it was alright.

The soundtrack CD was a lot better than "The best of the Beast" , IMO.
