Mange vil huske filmen The Thing, fra 80’erne med gru og/eller glæde. Det var uden tvivl en av tiårets bedste produktioner inden for genren og nu tages tråden op igen og opfølgeren er interaktiv.
Ja det er selvfølgelig Xbox spillet The Thing, vi snakker om. Som sagt tages tråden op da et rednings-team endelig ankommer til Arktis og den blodindsmurte base. Her følger de seneste screenshots og lidt info for de som er hooked på denne klassiker. The Thing sendes på gaden til Xbox i løbet af efteråret 2002.
After the enigmatic deaths of an American scientific expedition in the uncharted and frozen wastelands of the Antarctic, a military rescue team is sent in to investigate. Within these inhospitable surroundings the team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills.
The game brings fear and suspense to unimaginable levels, with a compelling plot and unique gameplay elements based upon action, evasion, trust and fear. Forget everything you ever learned about obliterating alien species with a simple barrage of violent ammunition - this monster is difficult to see, hard to kill, and seemingly impossible to evade.
