WHA Entertainment announced today that Kick-Ass has launched in the U.S. and
Canada for the Sony PlayStation Network (PSN) for an MSRP of $14.99. The game is
rated M for Mature by the ESRB. Additionally, WHA Entertainment confirmed that
the superhero action game will launch in Europe (U.K.) on Wednesday, May 5th.
"Kick-Ass is all about non-stop superhero action, and now everyone who
enjoyed the movie at the theater and fans of the comic book can become a super
hero in their own living space," said Howard Horowitz, Founder and CEO of WHA
Entertainment, Inc. "Who wouldn’t want to play as Kick-Ass, Big Daddy and Hit
Girl, the three super heroes based on the previous weeks’ # 1 movie in the U.S."
Kick-Ass is a fully 3D action fighting game set in the third-person
perspective, where the player can play and control modern day super heroes based
on the storyline of the movie. Gamers will be able to play as the three primary
characters in the film – Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. The story-driven
game draws heavily from the strengths of the intellectual property; an action
combat game where the characters finally grow sick of the crime around them, and
decide that they will do something about it.
Featuring multiple environments within New York City, players will be faced
with twelve story missions including 2 bonus rounds and encounter frantic super
hero action as they face petty thugs and powerful mob bosses, eventually
bringing down Frank D’Amico. Players will also have a blast with sub-missions
and mini-games, to add even more gameplay to the mix. Staying true to the
intellectual property, the game will feature visceral combat and plenty of gore,
as the player’s main goal is to bring justice back to the city, no matter what
the cost! The final mission ratchets up the action to an entirely new dimension,
when players pilot the already-legendary jet pack from the movie’s climactic
final battle scene. Cut loose with twin Gatling guns, cutting down enemies in a
barrage of hot lead and shattered glass – but don’t forget to keep moving, or
you’ll be blown out of the sky in a hail of return fire and bazooka shells!
Featuring multiplayer local co-op gameplay, Kick-Ass brings an unsurpassed
integration of missions given via friend requests from the FACESPACE social
networking site. Bonus points also unlock the complete first issue of the Kick
Ass comic book. Many additional Kick Ass game features to play and become a
superhero!
