The Plan comes together

A new trailer for The Plan - Eko System's forthcoming title for PC, PS2 and Xbox - is now available on Eurofiles. You'll also find some screenshots here.

The Plan combines real-time strategy and action-adventure elements, putting you in charge of a team of skilled art thieves. Together you explore the world's top galleries and museums, using high-tech gadgetry, stealth techniques and good old-fashioned guns to nick famous works of art.

Trick is that although The Plan is a single player game it uses a triple splitscreen display, so you can keep an eye on what your criminal pals are up to at all times. And if you think one of them is about to mess the whole thing up, you can switch control and take over.

Your fellow thieves all have their own specialities - there's a computer hacker, a demolitions expert and a sexy laydee who uses her unique assets to distract any passing guards, to name but three.

There are multiple ways to complete each mission, so it's up to you whether to take the stealthy approach and keep it on the down low, or just give everyone massive guns and blast past anyone who gets in your way.

It all sounds quite intriguing, if you ask us. There's no word on a release date or even a European publisher as yet, but we're keeping this one under surveillance.
