AMERICAN McGEE’S SCRAPLAND – GOES GOLD
BASINGSTOKE, England (January 7th 2005) - International software publisher DEEP SILVER are delighted to confirm that American McGee's highly anticipated game, SCRAPLAND has gone GOLD. A deeply immersive 3rd person 3D action/adventure, Scrapland sets players in a bizarre robotic world made of scrap parts. Scheduled for release 4th February 2005, Scrapland will be available for the Xbox® (£39.99) video game system from Microsoft and PC CD ROM (£29.99).
Scrapland is a third person action-adventure game set in a stunningly beautiful, futuristic world occupied by an amazing array of robotic characters. The play experience is driven by a solidly engaging, sometimes humorous adventure narrative. The game mechanic combines proven GTA3 style emergent action with an immersive storyline, diversity of player actions, and complete freedom of movement through the world.
