Amazing Grace
Posted on May 23rd, 2006 by Ian AdamsWhat once was lost, now is… being released. Originally sent to limbo by the the bankruptcy of publisher Acclaim, The Red Star is finally scheduled for release. According to consumer video game site Gamespot, the rights for the game have been picked up by XS Games, and a PS2 release is planned for early August. Release of the Xbox version will apparently be decided based on the success of the PS2 version. That said, don’t expect an Xbox version.
Originally a graphic novel, The Red Star is one of the titles that were thought lost when their publisher, Acclaim, collapsed under the weight of nearly 20 years of bad games. Another Acclaim title, Juiced, was picked up by THQ, and released to lackluster reviews.
