SEGA Europe, SEGA of America, and Marvel Entertainment,
announced today that the Iron Man video game, based on the successful
Marvel comic book series and the upcoming film by Marvel Studios, will
feature the voice talents of Robert Downey Jr., Terence Howard and
Shaun Toub. All three actors will reprise their onscreen roles of Tony
Stark (Downey), Lt. Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Howard), and Yinsen
(Toub). The Iron Man video game launches day and date with the
blockbuster movie on May 2, 2008.
Iron Man is the story of Tony
Stark, a billionaire industrialist and inventor who had it all. But
during a routine weapons test in the Middle East, Stark was captured
and forced to construct the ultimate weapon. Instead of following his
captors' demands, Tony built his own devastating weapon – a powerful
suit of armour that provided the key to his heroic escape. From this
point forward, Tony Stark became more than a man. He became Iron Man.
Iron
Man, an explosive third-person action shooter game that pits one of the
world's most renowned Super Heroes against unspeakable odds, draws its
story from the upcoming movie while also incorporating story elements
from original Iron Man comic books. Using the advanced technology in
Iron Man's suits of armour, gamers can take advantage of the wide array
of high-impact weapons to strategically annihilate any enemy force
standing in their way. Before tackling stunning and immense open
battlefields, players can customise their armour suit as they encounter
progressively more vicious enemies, and fight in epic battles that
could challenge even the toughest Super Heroes.
