Diabolik: The Original Sin

Diabolik: The Original Sin (see Adventure Gamers Review) has been available for the PC for a while, but it’s coming to all the major consoles – DS, PS2, PSP, Wii – except for the X-Box. The game is based on the original story created by Angela and Luciana Giussani in 1962 in comic book form.

“Diabolik: The Original Sin represents for us the effort to create an international success based on a well known Italian comic story. We strongly believe Diabolik is beloved and admired by anyone because anyone secretly admires his wildness and transgression.” Said Fabrizio Vagliasindi, Black Bean Games Head of Marketing.

The main character in the game is pretty cold. Diabolik  is an anti-hero, a skilled thief and a master of disguise who loves luxury, expensive cars and hi-tech gadgets. He can be merciless and he has no concern for anyone but himself and his one true love, Eva.

Eva, the only woman who can keep up with him, likes being involved in mysterious and complicated stories. Diabolik and Eva make up a great if unconventional couple. They’re both lovers and partners in crime.

“After years of mutually profitable collaboration, we’re excited about this long-term partnership with Black Bean,” said Riccardo Cangini, CEO of Artematica. “Finally an Italian joint-venture showing the skills and the determination required to obtain a relevant position in the international market.”

It looks like this game is going to excite a lot of people. If you like comic books or just video games that are a little different (in a good way) this may be right up your alley. It looks like it’s going to be well suited to the Wii and Playstation controllers … as you know, sometimes games don’t make the translation from PC very well.
