King Arthur

Action game based on the movie, which starred Clive Owen and Keira Knightley. The Konami-published game lets gamers control Arthur himself, or one of four other key characters, and battle it out with armies of primitive enemies. Players control Arthur, Lancelot, Guinevere, Bors, and Tristan, each competently modeled after the actors in the feature film. Arthur can wield a sword like none other, while Lancelot's skill on horseback is unchallenged and Guinevere can be brutal with long-range weapons like the bow and arrow. Furthermore, each person comes complete with his or her own special move and, on top of everything else, gamers can earn experience to improve their character's statistics, from speed to strength. The game dishes out a combination of three combat types: horseback fights, sword fights, and archery.
