Mastiff Offers PS2 Owners a Gungrave: Overdose "Can’t Lose" DealPosted on Monday, August 30, 2004 @ 02:02:13 pm E.S.T
Video Game publisher Mastiff today announced a special “Can’t Lose” deal tied to the September 2004 launch of their PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system game, Gungrave: Overdose. Mastiff will ship Gungrave: Overdose for a special low suggested retail price of $14.99. Additionally, anyone who purchases a copy of Gungrave: Overdose between September 2004 and March 2005 will receive a three-issue trial subscription to Play Magazine (an $18.00 value). Add a limited addition Gungrave art card, featuring images from Geneon Entertainment’s Gungrave: Beyond The Grave anime DVD packed into every box, and you have one of the most incredible deals ever offered to gamers.
“Gungrave: Overdose is awesome, absolutely over the top" commented Bill Swartz, Head Woof at Mastiff. "We tried to come up with a promotion as good as the game and couldn't. But we've come pretty close. For fifteen dollars PlayStation®2 owners get one of the best Anime-based action titles to hit the system, three issues of a great gaming magazine, a limited edition collector's art card from Geneon Entertainment, publishers of the Anime on DVD, and a preview of the Anime in the game. You can't lose.”
About Gungrave: Overdose
Gungrave: Overdose features more of everything that made its predecessor great: more adrenaline, more over-the-top action, more cell-shaded coolness, more outrageous story, more pumped-up volume, and more non-stop gameplay. The game features the character design of noted anime artists Yasuhiro Nightow (Trigun) and Kosuke Fujishima (Sakura Wars) and a soundtrack composed by Tsuneo Imahori (Trigun, Hajime No Ippo). Gungrave: Overdose ships in early fall 2004.
Beyond-The-Grave, our favorite undead-Mafioso-turned-almost-good-guy, is back to kick ass against the Corsione family and prevent them from using the Seed to gain control of the world. Joining Grave are two new unlockable characters: Juji Kabane, a blind, foul-mouthed, and perpetually angry swordsman who wears a shabby overcoat and carries a pair of gunblades, and Rocketbilly Redcadillac, a rock star who wears a red riding jacket and sports a slick ducktail.
Regarding Gungrave, in the July issue of Play Magazine, Dave Halverson, Editor-in-Chief writes, “In the battle for crossover success between core gamers and anime, no other title bridges the gap quite as well as Gungrave, the new gold standard. What The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay does for movie-based games, Gungrave does for game-related anime, namely bringing it to fruition with the utmost respect for the original work.”
Joining Gungrave: Overdose for the PlayStation 2 on retail shelves will be a series of DVDs and soundtracks from the anime TV series published by Geneon Entertainment. Please see http://www.GungraveDVD.com for more information.
