Win! Full Spectrum Warrior for Xbox
Get your hands on one of three copies of THQ's superb military action title.
While the world waits with bated breath for the Kikizo review of THQ's opus for 2004 (OK - we're running late - but fear not, it'll be here later this week), the action continues as we offer up three copies of the incredible Xbox title, Full Spectrum Warrior.
One of the most solid titles at last month's E3 (see our hands-on and video coverage here), FSW is based on a light infantry-training simulator designed by the development team for the U.S. Army, as a tool to reinforce Army doctrine and squad tactics among troops.
It's best described as a squad-based, tactical-action game that delivers the experience of squad level command in the heat of battle. Although as Kikizo staffer Tony Scinta put it last month, it's a glorious - not to mention successful - mix of so many genres: "What is it? First-person shooter? Real-time strategy? Third-person tactical combat cum Black Hawk Down simulator? Nobody really knows, least of all me... but I will say this: it is quite unlike anything I've seen."
So we're all agreed that this game is hot. All that's left to do now is for you guys to get your entries in... sharpish!
We have three PAL (European) copies of the Xbox game to give away. All you have to do is answer this easy question:
-
Q: Name the developer of THQ's Full Spectrum Warrior. Is it:
a) Obsidian Entertainment
b) Climax Studios
c) Team Ninja
d) Pandemic Studios
e) id Software
(Hint: looking around this site might help!)
Email your answers to contest@kikizo.com. Winners will be notified via email around mid-July, which oddly enough, will co-incide with the closing date. Entrants with the correct answer will only be considered if they are based in Europe, since the prize is European PAL versions of the game.
"Warrior waiting for?" Good luck!
