SEGA secures secures voice talent for Iron Man 2: The Video Game

SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Iron Man 2: The Video Game will feature the voices of renowned actors Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson. Expanding their roles from the upcoming Iron Man 2 summer blockbuster from Marvel Studios, Cheadle voices Tony Stark’s close friend James “Rhodey” Rhodes – the powerful War Machine – while Jackson joins the game as S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury. Together they complete a cast of characters that transports fans into a deeper and more authentic cinematic video game experience.

Packed with favourites from the movie and comic book worlds, Iron Man 2: The Video Game offers gamers a chance to choose between Iron Man and War Machine, as they battle through hugely destructible indoor and outdoor environments. Tony and Rhodey both come equipped with their own distinct assortments of fully customisable, earth-shattering weapons, as well as vicious melee combat moves, all of which will come in handy against the likes of Crimson Dynamo and other classic Marvel foes.

“We wanted to ensure players could experience the Iron Man universe firsthand by playing Iron Man 2: The Video Game” commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe. “Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson are two of Hollywood’s top leading men and with them voicing their characters from the upcoming film, the video game will mean players feel fully immersed in Tony Stark’s world”.

Iron Man 2: The Video Game will be available across Europe from April 2010 for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, PSP (PlayStation Portable) system, Wii system and Nintendo DS system.
