Rocky returns to video games

Rage Software has announced that it has secured the rights from MGM Interactive to produce a series of games based on the Rocky film series on multiple formats. Rage Software has announced that it is currently developing games based on the classic Sylvester Stallone films for the Sony PlayStation 2 and the Microsoft Xbox. Specific gameplay details are scarce at this time, but Rage promises that the game will attempt to capture the overall look and feel of the movies.

"We are delighted to be developing and publishing the officially endorsed range of computer and video games based on the Rocky movie anthology," Paul Finnegan, managing director at Rage, said. "We believe that Rocky is without a doubt one of the most entertaining and enduring movie series ever produced, and we plan to create a major gaming franchise that utilizes the strengths of the license."
