“The main character Matt Hazard breaks down the
fourth wall in a combination of hilarious
storyline and adventure with an old-school
action shooter that will entertain all,” said
Peter Andrew, vice president of product
development, D3P. “Play as Matt Hazard on your
own or join in co-op action as Dexter Dare to
take down General Neutronov through an
assortment of classic arcade levels with a
twist.”
In Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond, General
Neutronov, one of Matt’s nemeses has reactivated
all of Hazard’s greatest enemies from classics
like Matt’s original adventure, The Adventures
of Matt in Hazard Land and Chest of the Pirate
Queen in an attempt to destroy Matt’s former
self in the past and end his present. Matt has
no time for a leisurely stroll down memory lane
as he chases Neutronov through the games of the
past in order to save his future.
Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond is a flood of
carnage that the classic 8-bit side-scroller era
didn’t want gamers to see. Recreated today with
next-gen 3D graphics, it’s nonstop run-and-gun
action at its finest. Take a suspenseful ride in
single player or co-op through a pirate hideout,
an ancient Japanese castle, the Old West,
Siberian ice mines, and even the moon and relive
some of the most classic and violent moments in
Matt Hazard’s videogame history.
“Creating Blood Bath and Beyond for Xbox LIVE
Arcade and PlayStation®Network gave us the
opportunity to demonstrate the full capabilities
of Vicious Engine 2™ (Ve2) and deliver
high-quality content for the downloadable
market,” said Eric Peterson, president and CEO
of Vicious Cycle Software.
