Majesco opens portal to Raze's Hell

Sugar and spice and everything nice: beware. Majesco has launched the Web site for its upcoming third-person shooter, Raze's Hell. The game is scheduled to ship April 5 for the Xbox and is being developed by Artech Studios, the Canadian developer that previously worked on Trivial Pursuit Unhinged.

Raze's Hell stars Raze, the game's antihero, on a quest to stop the invasion of profuse cuteness in his homeworld and return it to its past hideousness. The onslaught of pulchritude comes in the form of the Kewletts, a civilization that previously kept to itself behind the walls of Kewtopia. The princess of the Kewletts decides it's time to venture outside their walls and spread cuteness across the countryside, where her adorable army runs into Raze. Perturbed, Raze travels to the heart of Kewtopia and discovers the true sinister motive behind the princess' plans.

The game will feature 20 mission-based levels across various landscapes. Raze will bring pain and over-the-top suffering to the game's 20 darling enemies, including the Kewtenators and Suicide Bears, with organic weapons that end in gory results. Raze's Hell will also feature Xbox Live support and contain an "instant 2-player co-op" mode that allows a second gamer to jump into the action at any time.

The Web site for Raze's Hell puts visitors right in the middle of Kewtopia, decorated with lollipops and adorable characters going about their business. Visiting the town's theater will lead to screenshots and a movie of the game in action. There are also stops to check out the game's weapons, characters, and information.

No pricing or rating information was available at press time. GameSpot will have more information on Raze's Hell soon.
