I have been so looking forward to this game. Argonaut has pulled a 'Rare' with this one. My Xbox seriously needs a new game..especially one that's not mostly killing and blowing up everything. It seems that when the PS2 version was announced that that bogged down the development of Malice. Are we seeing the PS2 Syndrom again? You know how PS2 development holds back most multiplatform games. Takes forever etc. Not to stir up anything I do own 3 game machines (XB, GCN and GBA). But after seeing how platformers/puzzle/action/adventure games do on XB and PS2 if I were Sierra I'd have to throw Malice out on GCN as well.
I think most of the PS2' problem is the shelves are soooo crowded with games. And f it's not a big anticipated release ie Madden, GTAVC, FF, etc it seems to get lost on the store shelves by the cacual masses.
The XBadventure games' problem is the audience. One reason Rare was bought..which is an uphill battle in that department. I think with GCN the shelves still have room on them because there are'nt as many games. And what's there are several other choice games with similar audience appeal. I'l go ahead and predict Malice's sales for XB and PS2 to be way lower than what they ought to be. Same goes for Psyconauts etc. All though I'll buy them it seems I'm the only XB owner who wants games like these. Kind of like sales of Sports on GCN.
