Looking forward to the comic adaptation of the Fantastic Four due in theaters July 8th? Well, we have just received a little something more to look forward to as we have received a batch of 10 screenshots from the Fantastic Four video game that is set to be available summer 2005 for PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo Game Cube and PC.
The game itself is a team based action adventure in which players harness the Marvel superheroes’ unique and amazing powers through a compelling single-player mode or two-player co-operative gameplay experience. Authored by Zak Penn, the writer of the movie X2: X-Men United, the game’s storyline follows the Fantastic Four movie plot and expands the adventures by letting players stretch, control fire and use invisibility and brute force to defeat evil super-villains in new environments and familiar comic book locales. Challenged to master each super hero’s individual powers and combine them to level even more devastating attacks, players must battle the never-before-seen enemies and the ultimate evil – Doctor Doom — to save the human race from disaster.
