Four popular bands have written and recorded original tracks specifically for the lead characters in the Fantastic Four video game. The songs will debut in four character-specific trailers that will be released online in April and May, and will be included as unlockable bonus content in Activision's upcoming FIV game, which is slated to ship this summer. The songs echo the distinctive personalities and special powers of each of the Fantastic Four Super Heroes.
Rock band, Taking Back Sunday, lead the team with Error Operator for Mr. Fantastic; hip-hop veterans, Jurassic 5, rock out Clobberin' Time for The Thing; punk-rock up-and-comers, The Explosion, light up I'm on Fire for The Human Torch; and all-girl punkers, Go Betty Go, blast out the cerebral tour de force Everywhere for The Invisible Woman.
The Fantastic Four game also will feature the signature musical theme from the film's score, which was composed by John Ottman, whose credits include X2: X-Men United and The Usual Suspects.
Fantastic Four game players will be able to harness the Marvel Super Heroes' powers through a single-player or two-player co-operative team based gameplay experience. Authored by Zak Penn, who co-wrote the story for X2, the game follows the Fantastic Four film's storyline and expands the adventures by letting players stretch, control fire and use invisibility and brute force to defeat evil Super Villains in new environments and familiar comic book locales. Challenged to master the individual powers of each Super Hero and combine them to level even more devastating attacks, players must battle some of Marvel's most notorious Super Villains, including, the ultimate evil - Doctor Doom - to save the human race from disaster.
Fantastic Four is being developed by Seven Studios for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube. The PC version is being developed by Beenox Studios and Torus Games is developing Fantastic Four for the Game Boy Advance.
Fantastic Four opens in theaters nationwide on July 8th. To view the movie trailer follow the download tab above.
