OVERVIEW

Blood Will Tell is a modern-day action epic for the PS2, adapted from the classic Manga tale by Osamu Tezuka (the creator of Astro Boy). It'll sweep violently into Europe in February 2005.

Like the original Manga the game follows the adventures of Hyakkimaru, a tortured samurai on a quest to uncover his past and regain his humanity. As a newborn baby he was robbed of every limb, organ and even his flesh, his humanity replaced with a myriad of ways to deal out death.

Players can choose to do battle with various weapons, such as blades embedded inside Hyakkimaru's arms, a bazooka hidden in his leg, or weapons found during the course of the adventure.

At every step of the way Hyakkimaru's friend Dororo will be there to help, guide and fight alongside him.

FEATURES * Huge 3D environments - explore, solve puzzles and do battle in an immense world based on Osamu Tezuka's influential classic Manga. * Discover and destroy more than 100 demons and monsters who have conspired to rob Hyakkimaru of his humanity. * Every body part deals out death and destruction - your arms conceal swords and your legs hide missiles. * Control both Hyakkimaru and Dororo - use each character's unique abilities to defeat enemies and solve puzzles. * Two-player cooperative play - both Hyakkimaru and Dororo can be controlled simultaneously, allowing you and a friend to team up to uncover the past and defeat evil.

Become a literal one-man samurai army, in Sega's adaptation of a dark manga tale from
the late creator of Astro Boy.

Blood Will Tell is an action-packed epic adapted from 'God of manga' Osamu Tezuka's
classic series 'Dororo'. Closely adhering to the original story, the game follows the
adventures of Hyakkimaru, a samurai warrior who, as a newborn, had every limb, organ,
and sense taken from him and replaced with mechanical parts and heavy weaponry. Now
grown up, he and his young female accomplice Dororo seek to destroy the 48 demons that
robbed him of a normal life in order to regain Hyakkimaru's humanity.

Playing as the tortured samurai, you'll battle hundreds of demon foes using the various
weapons embedded within Hyakkimaru's body. His arms can be cast aside to reveal a pair
of mighty blades, his knee houses a bazooka, and his other parts conceal even more
powerful armaments that you'll discover over the course of the quest. Whether you play
alone or with a friend, you'll be aided throughout by Dororo, who will help to combat
demons, reach areas that are inaccessible to Hyakkimaru, and solve puzzles.

• Control both Hyakkimaru and Dororo, each with unique abilities and weaponry
• Battle over 100 demons and 48 boss demons
• Every part of Hyakkimaru is a weapon - your arms conceal swords and guns, your legs
  fire missiles, and much, much more
• Co-op play - team up with a friend to defeat the demons
