Kick-Ass

First trailer released of the game of the movie of the Mark Millar superhero comic.

New York, N.Y. March 22, 2010 - WHA Entertainment, a publisher and developer of entertainment games based on leading IP Franchises, today released the first gameplay trailer for Kick-Ass, launching world-wide for the PSN for PlayStation® 3 and Apple iPhone April 15th. WHA Entertainment also unveiled some new screenshots of Kick-Ass, the superhero action game based on the upcoming theatrical movie by the same name. Players will be put to the test as they take on the role of any 1 of 3 super heroes based on the super characters featured in the movie.

"We are excited to show off some of the gameplay that players will find in Kick-Ass through these new assets," said Howard Horowitz, Founder and CEO of WHA Entertainment, Inc. "Kick-Ass promises to deliver non-stop superhero action to gamers, and we can't wait for players to be able to get their hands on the game next month!"

Kick-Ass is a fully 3D action fighting game set in the third-person perspective, where the player can play and control modern day super heroes based on the super characters found in the film of the same name. Gamers will be able to play as the three primary characters in the film - Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. The story-driven game draws heavily from the strengths of the intellectual property; an action combat game where the characters finally grow sick of the crime around them, and decide that they will do something about it.

Featuring multiple environments within New York City, players will be faced with eight story missions and encounter frantic super hero action as they face petty thugs and powerful mob bosses. Players will also have a blast with sub-missions and mini-games, to add even more gameplay to the mix. Staying true to the intellectual property, the game will feature visceral combat and plenty of gore, as the player's main goal is to bring justice back to the city, no matter what the cost!

Featuring multiplayer local co-op gameplay, the Kick-Ass missions are given via friend requests from the FACESPACE social networking site.
