The BBC is turning their hit franchise into a set of games for PC, PS2, and GBA.
Innovative TV tournament FightBox comes to PC, PlayStation 2, and Game Boy Advance
BBC Multimedia is set to launch FightBox as a multi-format gaming title on February 6, 2004.
Based on the TV series airing on BBC Two, FightBox brings together computer gaming, Internet and TV technology to create a new entertainment format.
Taking the best FightBox warriors, created by members of the public for the first televised tournament, plus the 'in-house' Sentient characters, the computer games offer players the unique opportunity to recreate the FightBox experience on home PC, or via Sony PlayStation 2, or even on the move with the Nintendo Game Boy Advance version.
Each product will lead players through the tournament structure, where competitors design and build their personalized humanoid Warrior; enter the FightBox arena to face a variety of challenges of strength, endurance and dexterity; and face the power of the immortal Sentients.
Published by BBC Multimedia, the FightBox titles have been developed by the company's in-house development studio Gamezlab, which created the software for the innovative FightBox BBC television production.
Dave Lee, BBC Worldwide's Director of Multimedia, said: "FightBox is unique. There's nothing like it on television, and it also represents a unique gaming concept. We hope that these products will not only enhance the experience for fans of the TV show, but also entertain the wider, growing, gaming community."
