Just so that you have my official opinion in written form: the Iron Man game that was inspired by the movie sucked. The coolest thing about that game, by far, was the free roam flying - but that was it. I would go so far in to say that the Iron Man game spoiled the video-games-from-superhero movies genre, for me, forever.
In any case: SEGA just announced that Thor: The Video Game is coming in 2011
Yesterday SEGA Europe and SEGA of America announced they will bring Marvel’s hall-of-fame franchise Thor to video game systems for an epic third-person adventure, scheduled for release on all five major video game platforms in 2011.
Thor: The Video Game is set to take players through an original third-person adventure for which Matt Fraction, the Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author, served as story consultant.
In the game, Thor battles through the numerous worlds of Norse mythology that span realms ranging from fire and ice to Frost Giants and Trolls - to obviously save Asgard. And yes, you will be using Mjölnir.
Each version of the game will be uniquely suited for its platform, with the PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360 versions featuring cinematic, third-person action gameplay with melee combos, ranged hammer throws, tide-turning elemental powers, and an upgrade system to bolster Thor’s powers as gamers progress. Players will take on enemies up to four times as large as Thor, with multiple grappling points and a variety of strategies for taking them down: go toe-to-toe with 25 foot tall, 12 ton Ice Trolls for a truly heart-pumping experience.
The Wii game will feature the same overarching storyline as the next-gen consoles, but will also present a different gaming experience by utilizing the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers to battle enemies and deliver Thor’s elemental powers. Thor for the Wii version will also be presented with a uniquely styled comic book look that it will share with the PSP system version, along with different cinematics, story elements, dialog, locations, and dedicated flight levels. Nintendo DS players will experience a 2D side-scrolling adventure with narrative and gameplay unique to the platform.
Thor: The Video Game marks the character’s progression from mythology to comics to TV and film, and now to interactive entertainment in his first standalone appearance in a game ever.
