Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter

GameCube

Mace Griffin is a former special ops officer who becomes a bounty hunter after going to prison for the deaths of his fellow officers. Through his position and journeys he hopes to find the evidence and means to capture the people who framed him. Crave is paying special attention to make the story rich and meaningful.

Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter mixes space combat and first-person shooting aspects flawlessly in the game design. At E3, Planet GameCube had the opportunity to test the X-Box version and found that the game does hold up to this claim. While piloting the ship, you can leave the controls at any time, walk throughout the cabins, and sit back down whenever you feel like it. After we disposed of the enemies flying around, we were able to approach the hanger of the main ship and land. We then could open the airlock and freely explore the ship with firearms in hand.

Mace Griffin also boasts a number of technological advances to produce realistic graphics, enemy AI, and physics. Take a look at the fact sheet below for more details. PGC will have more information on Mace Griffin as it becomes available.
