Michael Jackson game set to debut for Xbox 360 and PS3

News has slowly trickled out regarding a new Michael Jackson game for the Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3. The game will apparently contain hits from the artist’s past and some have indicated that it could be an adventure title.

According to article on Electronic Theatre, MJJ Productions have been working on the game for quite some time. In fact, it appears the game has been in production for months…well before the death of the legendary music icon.

The game supposedly contains the likeness and voice of Michael Jackson, as well as hit singles from the artist’s past. What is not known is what kind of game it will be or how players will engage it. However, some sources have speculated that the game could be an adventure title that spans the life of Jackson, starting with the Jackson 5 band and leading up to the present day [freak show] version of the disturbed but talented artist.

According to MJJ the game was already slated for a holiday season, 2009 release. Given the huge popularity of Michael Jackson during this time of his death, it wouldn’t be surprising if the game was hurried to the market by the late third-quarter of this year just so license holders can make some extra cash. It’s a shame, really.

Be sure to stay tuned in for more info regarding the new Michael Jackson game, as details on the gameplay and release dates will probably become available in the next few weeks.

    It's always easy to pick on those who look different. And now that he's dead, well it's fair game to call him a freak. Oh, and how long did he spend in prison for being a pedophile?

    You people are so ignorant and unjust. You think it's funny to laugh at the expense of others even when it's hurtful and wrong. If you knew anything about Michael Jackson, you'd know he's an innocent man. The proof of this is most definately out there. The misinformed are so quick to condemn him but where is your proof? Stop with the ignorance and shame on you.
