Namco Brings Hounds to the PSP
Not the bark, bark kind but rather the bounty hunting kind. First screens and details.
In a future gone pear-shaped a group of bounty hunters known as the Bounty Hounds are called upon to face off against alien forces bent on interplanetary conquest and to find new worlds where humans can live. As the leader of the Bounty Hounds, mankind's fate could very well rest in your hands.
It may sound like a mixture of every cliched action game and RPG you've played, but Namco's new PSP game Bounty Hounds at least promises to back that up with heady gameplay.
Customisation is a key part of the experience, whether it's choosing which of the hundreds of weapons and armour to bring with you or how you want to combine them to battle the adaptive artificial intelligence of your opponents.
The game will take advantage of the more advanced features of the PSP as well, allowing others to download content from your PSP for single or multiplayer fun.
Bounty Hounds for PSP is due later this year.
