PERCY JACKSON Available Now on DS

Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 3rd February 2010.  

For all the kids and big kids….the game based on the highly anticipated movie of the same name, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief,  is released today in Australia on Nintendo DS. 

Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, who is in great danger because of jealousy and fear of his powers and heritage. Players in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief will adventure across America in search of Zeus’ master lightning bolt while assembling their best fighting team to go head-to-head against ruthless enemies. Joining Percy are his friends Annabeth and Grover, and plenty more allies each with his or her own “godly” abilities and battle advantages. Planning which team member to take into battle is key to survival – lots of opportunities exist in the game for different characters’ abilities to interact with one another, and for characters to boost each other’s effectiveness. 

“Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books have been on the New York Times Best Seller list for children’s books for over 120 weeks straight, and the Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief film is one of the most buzzed about for 2010,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “We’re honoured to work on such a hot property, building on the elements that fans love to create a fantastic video game that can be played on the go.”
