Ghost Rider Back on Track

News from IGN

Ghost Rider's long and winding road to your living room should finally be nearing its end, as 2K Games has announced they will publish the video game alongside the movie starring Nicolas Cage, slated for release in February 2007.

The game will be based on both the comic book series and the film, where motorcycle stunt rider Johnny Blaze sells his soul to the devil in exchange for the life of his father. Players will step into the role of Blaze as he is transformed into a hero with supernatural, evil-fighting powers and a flaming hairdo. Gameplay will consist of third-person action blending hand-to-hand combat and motorcycle racing.

Though Majesco was originally set to publish the game, the Ghost Rider license changed hands when it was sold last December to an (at the time) unnamed publisher. 2K Games has pulled the mask off of our mysterious guest, and comic fans should be playing Ghost Rider on their PlayStation 2, PSP and Game Boy Advance next February.
