The
Wild, Wild West

SouthPeak Interactive
Projected Release
Date: November 1999

Not only were we impressed by the crisp 3D graphics
of The Wild, Wild West, but we were also awed by the faithful recreation
of the entire era. SouthPeak’s devotion to historical accuracy went so far as
to cause them to send the game’s designers to study the landmark of President
Lincoln’s assassination–Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC. Even more impressive
to us as adventure gamers was the player’s ability to control the amount of action
or adventure in the game based on your choice of character. In a smart marketing
move, both the PC and PSX versions of WWW are scheduled to be released
late November simultaneous with the home video version of this summer’s expected
Will Smith/Warner Brothers blockbuster. It looks as though SouthPeak is prepared
to atone for their last big movie tie-in, Men in Black.
