Comic book action comes to life in one of the most stunning shooters to appear on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox this November in Falcone: Into the Maelstrom.
Come this November, console gamers will be pulling on foil eye-patches and spraying the pet parrot silver when Virgin Interactive's piratical space-opera boards PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

In Maelstrom, players join one of two warring pirate bands battling for control of deep space. Initially, players dogfight around massive convoys of dreadnoughts in their own combat fighters. As security and defences are breached players embark upon a daring internal raid aboard the vessels. Once on board, players battle on the ground against the enemy troops. The object of each attack is to retrieve valuable booty - with each mission increasing in difficulty and ferocity and players notoriety increasing with each successful raid! As player’s notoriety increases they will meet and recruit pirates each with a specialist skill. These include a computer hacker, an explosive expert and an assassin. Specialist pirates accompany players throughout subsequent missions, as teamwork becomes increasingly important.

• Amazing space combat coupled with superb first-person action; • 20 single-player missions; • 5 massive multiplayer maps;
