METAL ARMS: GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM TO HIT RETAIL STORES ACROSS EUROPE ON DECEMBER 5th
Paris, France October 20th, 2003 - Vivendi Universal Games announces today that the new franchise Metal ArmsTM: Glitch in the System on PlayStation®2, XboxTM and Nintendo GameCubeTM will appear in retail on December 5th throughout Europe.

Awarded best shooter game at E31, Metal Arms is a highly original addictive 3D action shooting experience which combines upgradeable weaponry, multi power-ups and innovative "possess your enemy" tactics.

The game not only guarantees to deliver hours of shoot em' up fun but also features the voice of two-time Emmy award winner Dan Castellaneta. The renowned voice of Castellanetta, who is recognized as the voice of Homer Simpson, provides the voiceovers for the robot characters Agent Shhh, Krunk and Hosed.

Non-stop action-packed gameplay.
Located on the outer rim of a distant galaxy is a planet with deep secrets and a mysterious origin. This is Iron Star, a world inhabited by a society of robots. During a disaster in the science lab, a sinister robot with a mind of its own was created - the evil General Corrosive. After eliminating his makers, this powerful megalomaniac of a machine began to fulfil his dream of creating the ultimate army. Playing as Glitch, the gun-slinging, enemy crushing half-ton menacing bot of Droid City, travel under, and above Iron Star, through a vast mechanical world with over 40 missions including sniping, sneaking, puzzle solving, non stop shoot'em up action and mini-games added to the mix.

One robot is never enough for anyone!
Found as scrap metal, but transformed into destructive machinery, Glitch is determined to free his people from the evil clutches of General Corrosive and his maniacal army.
He has at his disposal 17 lethal weapons than can be upgraded or stolen from enemies along the way. And thanks to the incredible hijacking Tether Gun, 10 other friendly and enemy 'bots can be played and possessed - even Bosses!

You can find Glitch and his army available worldwide on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft, and Nintendo GameCubeTM, this December 5th for a suggested retail price of 54.99€ with a 12+ rating.
