Said Michael Bell, Encore's CEO, "The momentum for Daredevil has been building, and anticipation is high both for the movie and the videogame. We believe that Daredevil for Nintendo Game Boy Advance will appeal not only to gamers, Daredevil fans and comic book enthusiasts, but also to those who are excited about the movie. Daredevil's intriguing character, a compelling storyline and gritty New York locations from the film are perfect for creating a great gaming experience."

Added Russ Brown, Executive Vice President, Consumer Products, Promotions & Media Sales at Marvel Enterprises, Inc., "The legacy of the comic books, the upcoming film, super-star status for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and a strong videogame all combine to make Daredevil a very strong brand. We are eagerly anticipating the movie premiere and videogame launch in February."

Daredevil Battles the Kingpin™ in New York's Hell's Kitchen

New York's crime gangs have escalated their activities to intolerable levels, and Daredevil is out to stop them. In this action-filled sidescroller, players get to be Daredevil as he fights his way through the underbelly of New York's Hell's Kitchen to defeat these criminals and their boss, the Kingpin. Daredevil will run, jump, fight and perform acrobatic maneuvers as he battles with the Kingpin, Elektra™, Bullseye™, and the Sewer King™, as well as ninjas and mafia thugs.

A unique feature of the game will be "Radar Sense," which will allow Daredevil to see invisible enemies and find hidden items. The game will also feature 23 levels; gritty New York settings from the movie; and lots of power-ups, hidden items and game secrets based on movie details such as Ben Affleck's and Jennifer Garner's costumes.

More information on the game, including screenshots and a trailer, is available at the DareDevil - The Game website.
