Battlestations to hit 360, PC News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox Xbox 360
News by Tom Bramwell

24 April, 2006

Eidos' World War II title Battlestations: Midway will debut on Xbox 360 and PC this autumn, the publisher's announced, while current-gen console title Urban Chaos: Riot Response has been given a solid release date of May 19th on PS2 and Xbox.

Developed by Eidos Studios, Hungary, Battlestations mixes Pacific air and sea battles - both on and under the surface - and gives players control of dozens of units in a free control environment, allowing players to hop from the deck of a battleship to the controls of a fighter plane or the bridge of a submarine at will. It'll include both single and multiplayer options - the latter including co-op. PS2 and Xbox versions are also planned.

Meanwhile, Urban Chaos, developed by Londoners Rocksteady Studios, puts players into an elite police counter-gang unit called T-Zero as a former US marine. You'll team up with firefighters, paramedics and regular police to take on all sorts of threats, bombs and hostage scenarios.

We'll have reviews of both nearer release.

Is this a follow up to Mucky Foots Urban Chaos or have they just nicked the name?

Wow I'd totally forgotten about this game...I remember PC Gamer raving about it well over a year ago. Another case of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. syndrome?

It's just the name. Not really sure how the rights work, but Eidos did publish the ill-fated Mucky Foot title, so maybe they own the IP.

Quite looking forward to both these games. Hopefully they can both fulfil their potential and be sleeper hits *touches some wood* (no penis jokes please).
