King Arthur rides into retail

Konami has unsheathed its action title King Arthur and shipped it to retailers. Based on the Jerry Bruckheimer movie of the same name released in July, King Arthur features five playable characters--Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Tristan, and Bors--as they defend England from Saxon invaders. Each character has unique weapons and skills and will test their mettle in swordfights, archery, and on horseback. The game moves seamlessly from film footage to gameplay and features a cooperative two-player mode. King Arthur is rated "T" for Teen and sells for $39.99.
