E3 2002: Activision's XXX

Activision's upcoming Game Boy Advance game based on XXX, the Vin Diesel flick hitting theaters this summer, was on display at the company's booth today in extremely early form.

The game is being developed by Digital Eclipse...the E3 demo featured a playable motorcycle level that looks to be seriously inspired by Electronic Arts' Road Rash series. But the engine Digital Eclipse created is extremely smooth with lots of scaling sprites on-screen. Control needed serious work, but it was definitely well below Alpha stage of development. Activision's screenshots also indicate there will be a lot of side-scrolling action completely with guns blazing and ledge hanging.

This GBA game is being prepped for a Summer release with the movie.
