Although he's been traveling the world for decades in search of riches, love, and adventure, Lupin the 3rd pays his first visit to North American console gamers in this Bandai release for the PlayStation 2. Based on the popular anime (which is itself based on early-20th century stories by French author Maurice Leblanc), this game puts players in control of Lupin, grandson of the world's most celebrated gentleman thief, who is joined by his constant companions Jigen the sharpshooter, Goemon the rogue samurai, and his dangerously alluring love-interest Fujiko. Lupin's nemesis Zenigata is also featured, so it's a safe bet the police inspector will almost nab the playboy thief at least once or twice before this adventure is finished.

While the outlaw hero may happen across a few full-fledged action sequences, Lupin the 3rd involves elements of exploration, problem solving, and stealth -- including Metal Gear Solid-style punctuation marks that appear over the heads of enemies to indicate their state of awareness. Completing objectives in the most efficient way possible is a goal, and this may mean more sneaking than shooting or slicing. Sure, Lupin may need to temporarily incapacitate a police officer, but only to "borrow" his uniform in an effort to avoid further direct conflict. On the other hand (and also as in the comics and television stories), the ability to think on one's feet when a situation turns sour may also prove invaluable as even the best-laid plans.

Features:
Play as Lupin, Jigen, or Goemon as you engage in a castle heist
Use disguises and solve puzzles while avoiding capture from Inspector Zenigata and Fujiko
Includes voice-overs from the television show's actors
