This year at E3 I got the opportunity to go behind closed doors with the development team of Deadliest Warrior: The Game. Deadliest Warrior: The Game is a 2 player 3D fighting game available as a downloadable title beginning this July 14th, on Xbox Live Arcade (and on PlayStation 3 shortly after). It’s only 10 bucks and from the hands on time that I had with it at E3, it’s going to be worth it.

Welcome to the Deadliest Warrior.

The developers at Spike TV Games worked very closely with the team behind the television show, to bring you the goods in as accurate a way as possible. You’ll get to play as several of the warriors from Season 1 and one yet to be announced fighter from Season 2. In my hands on time with the almost finished build, the graphics were already impressive, the animation was nice, and the cool factor was definitely there.

This title has online tournaments, customizable warriors, unlockable weapons, a ranking system, arcade, and versus mode. I will be reviewing this game closer to its release, but in the meantime, enjoy the following trailer.
