För cirka två år sedan gick spelutgivaren (och utvecklaren) Acclaim (Mortal Kombat, Turok) i konkurs och ombord på det sjunkande skeppet fans bland annat spel som Juiced och The Red Star. Juiced såldes ur konkursboet snabbt till THQ medan The Red Star försvann spårlöst, till idag! Nu står nämligen det klart att Take 2 Interactive ska ge ut det smaskiga actionliret redan nästa månad exklusivt till Playstation 2. Något som vi på redaktionen är mycket glada för.
This gripping tale follows Sorceress Major Maya Antares and her faithful guardian, combat and weapons expert Kyuzo, who have devoted their lives to the service and defence of the United Republics of the Red Star (U.R.R.S.). Under the command of Skymarshall Urik Antares, Maya and Kyuzo have led the crew of the Skyfurnace Konstantinov through countless battles. But now, while entrenched in the war to control the rogue Republic of Nokgorka, Maya and Kyuzo meet a Resistance Fighter named Makita. This ferocious young warrior holds the key to a dark conspiracy that reveals the entire U.R.R.S. to be under the control of the Dark Lord Imbohl and his chief assassin, Troika, the Harvester of Souls.
Makita, Kyuzo and Maya unite to defeat Troika's tyranny as the Konstantinov and crew mutiny from the Red Fleet. Troika, at the helm of the fleet's flagship vessel the Taktarov, unleashes a deadly assault to bring the rebels to heel. Under the watchful command of Urik and Maya, Kyuzo and Makita embark upon a final fight to unite the scattered Republics of the Red Star and liberate them from Troika's rule.
