E3 2003 – First
Look
Maximo vs. Army of
Zin takes place eight months after his first adventure. In their search for
Sophia, Maximo and Grim run into the Army of Zin. The Army of Zin is a clockwork
army powered by souls, and Maximo must free these souls as well as protect
innocent bystanders that are being attacked by this army.
Maximo vs. Army of
Zin is expanding on what gamers liked from the past Maximo, and getting rid of
what wasn’t so popular. One thing that was mentioned was that this new Maximo
will be a little easier than the first one. Plus, no more paying for continues.
Maximo vs. Army of
Zin will add more weapons than the previous Maximo, along with 30 new moves.
Different boxer shorts will also offer different abilities like “Treasure
Seeker” or “Boxers of Burning Vigor!” Grim will also be a playable character,
and innocents are now something more for Maximo to worry about. The game will
span 26 levels across 6 different environments.
The graphics are
more lush and detailed, making the Maximo experience that much more enjoyable.
The game is due out this fall, but also keep an eye out for Dreamwave’s Maximo
comic book, and the two new action figure sets by Toycom and BMA Toys.
