Preview:

A sultry wizardress… a soaring gunslinger… a powerful swordsman… a dark huntress. Four heroes, about to be hurtled over the edge into a flight into darkness. Sudeki will push the limits of what you think an RPG can be with bigger worlds, more powerful heroes and sexier heroines all wrapped around Hong Kong-style cinematic combat. And it is all only possible on Xbox.

Set in a world ripped apart by deceit, Sudeki sets its heroes on a twisting path of betrayal, gravity-defying combat and unbelievable magic. All they can rely on is themselves. No one is to be trusted. No one is to be spared.

Features:

Cinematic-style real-time combat featuring dozens of moves, slow-motion bullet-time, earth-shattering spells and hundreds of destructive melee and ranged weapons

Massive cooperative super-strikes where characters combine to devastate legions of foes

A horde of over 100 enemies from deadly dread-spiders to massive battle fortresses

Battle as a team of four fierce heroes: a beautiful and deadly sorceress, a steam-punk gunslinger, a powerful man-at-arms and a shape-shifting huntress.

Forge your heroes into legends as you build their skills, spell arsenal, weapons cache, and powers.

Immense worlds to explore and tame filled with hundreds of NPCs, cunning enemies and twists and turns fraught with danger.

Custom next-generation graphics engine built from the ground up for Xbox featuring detailed facial animation, bump-mapping, complex lighting and awesome scale.

Yes, well, not many of them have made many games and a lot of them are new companys. So I would give them a chance and not prejudge new games.

Climax is not that bad a developer they did MotoGP: Ultimate Racing Technology on the Xbox which was very good if you like that sort of thing. But Climax the same as most developers have had there bad times which in the last year or two went buy the name of Art’s and Magic. They have also made a name as a port company with the likes of Diablo, Warcraft II, FIFA '98, Shadow Dancer, Ninja Spirit and R type all being ported to various systems over the past 12 years. There more recent stuff includes Theme Park World from Bullfrog, EA Sports Superbike 2000, BattleZone, LEGO Racers, LEGO Alpha team ect ect ect . Yea well you get the point they port a lot of games.
