G2 have secured a notable coup with the announcement that they have gained rights for the European disrtibution of eagerly anticipated forthcoming title 'War of the Worlds: New York Armageddon'.

The classic H.G Wells tale of alien invasion and destruction, written in 1898, has enjouyed numerous re-incarnations on the big screen, with Tom Cruise only this year leading the cast of a Hollywood blockbuster version of the famous story.

However, G2 will be bringing the story to life in video game form for the first time. Like the Hollywood version starring Cruise, the new game is re-told within a contemporary setting. The protaganist this time is a Law student currently enscripted in the National Gaurd as a Helicopter gunner.

The game begins on the fourth day of the Invasion, with the player ferrying a Special Forces team into downtown Manhattan for a mission that will decide the outcome of the War.

'War of the Worlds' will be released in the UK in 2006.

By far it will be on computer - I know that much.
It says 'system requirements' so yes, I do believe that it will be on computer.

From the looks of the screenshot above... a wooden one.


Seriously, though... on the website it states that Windows 98/98se/ME/2000/XP is required, so it looks as if it is going to be on the PC most definately.

War of the worlds: Tom Cruises teeth.

you must battle your way through the hords of aliens to your manhatten Dentist before the black smoke erodes your teeth!

I'm not sure how close to "War of the Worlds" this actually will be. The "Official Site" refers to it as Terrawars: New York Invasion - not War of the Worlds. So im a little bit confused and very dubious.

If you can incinerate Cruise with a heatray - I'll buy it!

I pre-ordered this game off Amazon.co.uk a few months ago. I'm not expecting anything great from it.

This is no way related to the Spielberg film however.

god, not another FPS/Half Life clone... Sheesh when are PC programmers gonna come up with something original again?

[nervouspete]

Hmm, doesn't look that great to me. Strikes me as a bit of rush job, in fact. However, graphics aren't everything and little independent studios can pull good stuff off. My current addiction to old skool 'Space Rangers 2' highlights this.

I note that the company is also behind Battlefield Europe, which is apparently a pretty good MMO shooter that recreates WWII with thousands of online players over a massive European map at the same time. Something of a cult following.

But I'm not getting excited about this one.

I see its now changed its name to TerrarWars: NY Invasion... so its not a War of the Worlds game, is it? They lied to us!

it would be nice if it were actually a war of the worldsgame. no on second thought it wouldn't. it would most likely suck. lets pretend this game has nothing to do with war of the worlds and maybe it might be fun
