Exacting revenge for all those times we said, "This is mediocre," publisher Midway has announced "This is Vegas," shortly before kicking us into a mysterious pit acting as little more than a receptacle for cynical gamers and woefully outdated movie references. So what, pray tell, is this ... This is Vegas?

According to the press release, it's "an open world, lifestyle action experience, where players will live out their Vegas fantasies by fighting, gambling, driving and partying their way through the most decadent, fast-paced and wildest city in the world." Said gambling, driving and partying will occur in a world devised by Midway's internal studio, Surreal Software. The Suffering and Drakan developer is currently aiming for a Winter 2008 release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Studio head Alan Patmore says the team is "thrilled" to indulge our "wildest Vegas fantasies," though fails to specify whether that includes the one where we become an inconsiderate, alcoholic grandmother addicted to shaking hands with the one-armed bandit. There will, however, be "partying in the hottest night clubs, racing in underground circuits," playing at the tables, impromptu barroom brawls and (presumably) other exciting, lifestyle action experiences. This is Vegas, baby.
 
So you can do anything, you can drive, you can fight, you can gamble.

It's going to be utter shit then. Next.

Why even bother, it's going to flop. Any game that tries to combine ten different things is always going to be utter shite unless it's GTA, it stuns me when companies think things like this are a good idea and that people will lap it up. Perhaps they will in Las Vegas but the rest of the world will save their money for GTA.
 
If it's any good I will, Gamespot reckon it plays alright (or it might have been IGN, I forget).

TV and movie tie-ins are always going to be around, you can see why, but making games that are supposed to be ten games in one is always going to be a massive waste of everybody's time.

This is Vegas adds some new images (below), a new gameplay video and trailer (after the break), along with some basic information of what you'll do around sin city when the game makes its big debut this winter. We've now learned that the premise of This is Vegas is that a ruthless businessman is turning Vegas into a family-friendly tourist trap, and it's your job to make it adults-only again.

Gamers will play in the Vegas sandbox by gambling, racing, fighting and partying their way to the top. They'll also have to raise their rank with the four factions that control the city: The Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs. As they build credibility with these factions, players will gain more money, women and power. Not everything has to be done honestly though, gamers can cheat by marking and counting cards, or just robbing the casino. We strongly recommend nobody every try to do that in real life.
