Xena is about to come Yi-Yi-Yi-ing onto a PlayStation near you,
courtesy of USA Studios. The game, a 3D adventure cunningly entitled
Xena: Warrior Princess, has our gal in a desperate race to rescue her
"friend" Gabrielle from the clutches of the Amazon Queen and the
Minotaur King. If she fails, the blonde will be sacrificed by an evil
sorceress! Ogres, gorgons and Hades' minions block her path, but on her
side she has numerous weapons, including that trusty chakram.
Many of the eight locations will be familiar to the show's fans, and
graphically the title should be stunning, utilising advanced
light-sourcing and textured polygons rendered at 30 frames a second. "By
creating a compelling video game based on the characters from the TV
show, we're confident we'll deliver a game that will appeal to millions
of Xena fans," says Jeffrey Fox of 989 Studios.
Xena: Warrior Princess is pencilled in for a March 1999 release.
Tough, feminine - and she Yi-Yi-Yi's too.
