    For Immediate Distribution
    HOUR OF VICTORY™ APPROACHES; MIDWAY ANNOUNCES A NEW WORLD–WAR II EXPERIENCE EXCLUSIVELY FOR XBOX 360™

    First Person Shooter Places Gamers In Pivotal Role As One of Three Expert Operatives in Cinematic Battles Across Europe and North Africa

    CHICAGO – January 29, 2007 – Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment industry publisher and developer, today announced that Hour of Victory™, a new cinematic, first person shooter experience set in World War II, is currently in development exclusively for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and is expected to be available this summer.

    Built using the powerful Unreal® Engine 3.0, Hour of Victory combines authentic details from historic World War II battles and adds in frenetic and cinematic gameplay. Gamers are able to play each level in the style they choose, whether as a covert operative, specializing in stealth and sabotage; a British commando proficient in the guns-blazing frontal assault; or an Army ranger who excels in sniping and demolitions. Players will also be able to take control of any vehicle on the battlefield as they sharpen their skills to impact the key battles from the European and North African Theaters.

    "Hour of Victory is an entirely new World War II experience designed exclusively for the Xbox 360 that will place players in a pivotal role during key battles using the gameplay style they choose," said Matt Booty, senior vice president, worldwide studios, Midway. "Using the powerful Unreal Engine 3.0 we’re able to create exciting, cinematic moments that allow players to feel like a hero, not just another cog in the war machine."

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                  You mean like Battlefield: MC and Battlefield 2142, the former of which practically nobody played on the 360?

                      I thought BF:MC was great online. My point was only to say that those WWIII-era games do exist and nobody plays them.

                      Nobody around here, anyway....

                        I played BF2 online all the time on the 360, the issues with that game was server side. You couldn't host games, couldn't have all your friends in the game anyway, so why bother? Everyone played 2 maps, over and over and over again. While it played great, it got really old.

                          What make this game a little different is the ability to pick one of 3 characters (classes) to play through the same level. You can also hop in and drive any vehicle on the map.

                            Someone should make a great Vietname game for the 360, that would be fantastic. Plus imagine some of the great Hendrix tunes they could put in there. Nothing quite as scary as being lost in the jungle at night with Vietcong all around you in 360 HD glory.

                              Midway is coming a year or two too late to the game with another WWII shooter. Just as the WWII gaming genre is kinda fading away, they are planning to release a game.
