Missing, Presumed Dead
Will these Xbox titles ever come out, or are they gone for good?
Game: Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels
Didn't Come Out: Winter 2003
What It Wasn't: The sequel to LucasArts's popular adventure title Full Throttle put gamers in the worn leather of nearly neckless hero Ben Throttle.You'd gotooling around onBen's customized Corley motorcycle with his gang, the Polecats, on a quest to find out who's been ripping up their beloved stretches of smooth asphalt. Mix some puzzles and two-fisted combat in with a highly stylized, cartoony, 3D world, and you had a recipe for outlaw biking justice.
Will It Live Again? Nope. "We do not want to disappoint the many fans of Full Throttle," said Simon Jeffery, then-president of LucasArts, in August 2003, "and hope everyone can understand how committed we are to delivering the best quality gaming experience that we possibly can." In other words, the game wasn't good enough to come out for Xbox. Hence, you won't see it on Xbox 360, either.
