Five Platforms For "Thor: God Of Thunder"

According to BigGameHunter, SEGA of America, Inc. and Marvel Entertainment report that "Thor: God of Thunder", the first standalone video game for the Marvel Comics superhero character, is now available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, the Wii system from Nintendo and Nintendo DS.

Versions for the PlayStation3 and Xbox 360 feature stereoscopic 3D graphics.

"For the first time, players can command Thor’s massive elemental powers in an epic original adventure," said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA America. "Whether playing with a 3D TV or in traditional high definition, it’s thrilling to storm across several of the 'Nine Worlds' in a battle to save 'Asgard', wielding mighty Thor’s legendary hammer 'Mjölnir' to smash hordes of titanic foes from the 'Thor' universe."

"With the voices and likenesses of Chris Hemsworth as 'Thor' and Tom Hiddleston as 'Loki', gamers will finally be able to delve into the world of the 'God of Thunder' himself and save 'Asgard'," said TQ Jefferson, Vice President of Games Production, Marvel Entertainment.

"...In the game, players battle to save Thor’s home world of Asgard from destruction. Thor must overcome some of his greatest foes lifted from the pages of the comics, as well as other monstrous denizens. His battle extends from Asgard to the land of 'Ymir' and the 'Frost Giants' in wintry 'Nifleheim', the fiery forces of 'Surtur' in hellish 'Muspelheim', and the 'Ulik' band of brutish trolls in the forests and marshes of 'Vanaheim'. Players wield 'Mjölnir', Thor’s legendary hammer, to fight enemies on an immense scale while controlling the elemental storm powers of lightning, thunder and wind to vanquish enemies..."

Each version of the game is tailored for its platform, with the PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360 versions featuring cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers, and an upgrade system to bolster Thor’s powers as gamers progress. Using grappling points and multiple strategies, players will take on enemies up to four times Thor’s size, including 25-foot tall, 12-ton 'Frost Giants'.
