DMX to star in Zombie Massacre video game

1988 Games' Ben Krotin revealed Friday morning to GamePro in an email that well-known hip hop artist and actor DMX will be appearing in Zombie Massacre as a playable character in the game.

DMX will be one of the four main characters in Zombie Massacre, which is best described as a cross between Crazy Taxi and House of the Dead where one player drives a vehicle while the other three players aim their Wii Remotes at the screen blowing away hordes of flesh-eating zombies (you can read all about Zombie Massacre in our interview from last month).

From Krotin's email:

Players will be able to control 'X' as he helps the team battle their way into the city and drop off the bomb. Of course, that's no easy matter, especially when he's joined by the unlikely assistance of the police. -Ben Krotin

The entertainer's voice is being provided for his character in addition to his likeness.

The news about DMX starring in Zombie Massacre will be further elaborated on in the feature I'm posting next week here on GamePro.com that's all about the game.
