A VIDEO GAME

TO MATCH THE MOVIE

HIT!

Warner Bros, summer production of Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves is wowing movie audiences with great sets, costumes and a new telling of the famous Robin Hood legend. Virgin Games, Inc. plans to follow up the movie with a video game as action-packed as the film. Even though the actual actors and actress's likenesses are not in the game, it does follow the script almost scene for scene. And while the game has plenty of great action clearly

and excitement, what really stands out is the way the story unfolds and logically. It's almost like you're in the movie!
