Activision has announced today that they will be publishing a newMen In Blackgame to coincide with the release of the upcomingMen in Black IIIthis spring. The press release states that the title will release on, “consoles and handhelds,” and refers to the game as featuring, “action-packed, yet light-hearted gameplay mixed with edge-of-your-seat shooting excitement,” so your guess is as good as mine at this point.
I like a lot of licensed games, but it’s always a crap shoot when it comes to a title being released in support of another product, such as timing game releases with movies to maximize the merchandising possibilities. Sometimes you get something kind of special (likeSaw, which I thought did an excellent job of capturing the film experience in a game) but you usually just wind up withIron Man. Here’s hoping, because I really loveMIB.
In fact, I think I’ll go watch the first flick on Blu-Ray right now.
