Jackie Chan Adventures announced for the PS2
SCEE announces that it will release APE's cartoon-inspired action game exclusively for the PS2 later this year. First screens inside.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that it will release Jackie Chan Adventures for the PlayStation 2 in Europe in September. Currently in development at Atomic Planet Entertainment (APE), the cel-shaded action game is based on the cartoon show of the same name and is not to be confused with Encore Software's Jackie Chan Adventures title, which was announced back in 2001 and canceled some time ago.
In Jackie Chan Adventures, players will assume the titular role of Jackie as he and his 11-year-old niece, Jade, travel the globe looking for ancient talismans. As they progress through the game, players will have to do battle with a number of different enemies, including ancient Chinese demons and a group of ninjas known as the Dark Hand. Every time players successfully locate a talisman, Jackie will gain additional powers and will be able to access previously hidden locations.
"The Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon series lends itself perfectly to be adapted to a video game, and we are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to produce it," said Jason Falcus, operations director at Atomic Planet. "Our team has worked very hard to create a great game that is true to the show in both look and feel, and I am confident it will appeal to fans of the series and fans of action adventure games alike."
Further details on the game are scarce at present, but SCEE has revealed that at least one of the game's large levels will be set on the moon. SCEE has also confirmed that Jackie Chan Adventures will feature a number of EyeToy minigames dotted throughout the levels.
We'll bring you more information on Jackie Chan Adventures, which is currently scheduled for release in Europe in September, as soon as it becomes available.
