"Lost Kingdoms combines engaging real-time action RPG battles, eye-popping graphics, rich 3D environments and incredible special effects with a captivating storyline," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios. "With its multiple modes of play, vast creatures and expansive card battle system, this mythical journey has everything Nintendo GameCube fans crave."

In Lost Kingdoms, players take on the role of Princess Katia in a fierce struggle to save the five kingdoms of Argwyll from an enigmatic evil force. Throughout their adventure, gamers will journey through more than two-dozen visually majestic 3D realms as they collect over 100 unique Guardian Creature Cards, each holding the power to unleash incredible creatures, who can battle the hordes of malicious monsters and possibly save the kingdoms from complete domination.

Gamers can choose to journey through this epic adventure alone in single-player mode, or challenge others through two-player versus mode, pitting their Guardian Creature Card collection against another in a battle to the finish.
