"Arthur and the Invisibles is a brilliant adventure game that not only showcases Luc Besson's fantastic universe but further extends it by bringing the on-screen charm and action to an interactive medium that is eye-popping, engaging and extremely fun," exclaims Rick Mehler, Director, Marketing, Atari, Inc. "Arthur and the Invisibles is a rare gem of a game that outshines other titles based on movies."
A rare gem of a licensed game? Yeah, we had to do a double take on that one ourselves. But Mr. Mehler just may be onto something, as Arthur and the Invisibles, in stores today, pulls its inspiration from a film with quite a lot going for it. Not only does it promise to dazzle and shine in CGI-animated glory, but famed French director and writer Luc Besson is at the helm of it all. Not a bad combination, eh?
The game sees you as 10-year-old Arthur, who, intentionally on a quest to retrieve his late grandfathers treasure, is now wrapped into a gripping adventure to save the Land of the Invisibles from imminent destruction. Joined by the princess Selenia and her brother Betameche, the three must rely on the specialized skills of one another (Arthur's an acrobat, Selenia a warrior and her brother an expert marksman) to advance further in the extraordinary world, brimming with ferocious enemies and puzzling challenges at every turn.
Arthur and the Invisibles (as a fun fact, it goes under the original title Arthur and the Minimoys in countries not fluent in the English tongue) should be appearing in nationwide retail as we speak. Keep an eye out for the PSP version in February.
