Shane said: They released Smuggler's Run early on in the Gamecube's life. After selling 25,000 units in 6 months, they put an end to that silliness. Manhunt's as good as it'll get unless they can prove the system is viable for their games, and they may consider it as a test. Fantastic 4 is the more likely type of game we will see from Take 2 on Wii, and perhaps some sports games. |
Well, honestly Take Two botched the handling Smuggler's Run ...
When Smuggler's run was released I went to Walmart, Zellers, Futureshop and EBgames looking for a copy of the game and absolutely none of the stores had the game or had any intention of carying the game; after that I decided to check out Rodgers Video and Blockbuster to see if they had a copy to rent and neither one had a copy. As far as I can tell Take Two never marketed the game or put any presure on retailers to cary the game so no one could buy it; I eventually got a used copy off of EBgames.com about 12 months later, since then I have lent it out to most of my friends who wanted to buy the game when it was released but could never find it.
