London, November 3rd 2003 - Going for a Chinese will never be the same again thanks to razor-sharp, kung-fu adventure game 'Blade & Sword', which is being released by notorious game publisher Whiptail Interactive in mid-November. Built by maverick developer Pixel Studio, this high-energy game, set in ancient China, will go on sale in all serious gaming outlets across the UK, Europe and North America.

"Well run me through with a razor-sharp samurai sword," whispered a wide-eyed Chris Warrender, publishing director of 'Blade & Sword' publisher, Whiptail Interactive. "This bloodthirsty slice and dice kung-fu game will give all those Tarantino fans something else to talk about after they have finished fantasising over 'Kill Bill'."

The game will usher in a new era in RPG (role-playing games) with its mix of amazing action and breathtaking martial arts. Players will be able to fully submerse themselves in the game, believing they are really there thanks to a virtual weather system that provides real-time 12 hour day and night periods with full screen light and shadow effects.

Players can choose to play one of three unique characters in the game, use
36 separate kung-fu attacks to defeat their opponents, as well as 12 super attacks for when they need to kick some serious butt. Over 140 hours of game-play will keep gamers occupied while they kick, chop, hack, thrust and slice their way through the game's 40 levels, which are divided into three chapters. There are four difficulty levels for those who are quick to master games.

There are 40 different monsters lurking within the game, each with its own special melee attack to keep players on their toes. If that wasn't enough to contend with, the monsters benefit from 'array grouping combat AI'
(artificial intelligence) that lets them work together against you in new and unpredictable ways.
