  2. Sep 30, 1998  The Fifth Element (1998) Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi Video game released 3 October 1998. In this tense 3D action adventure game, play as either New York cabby Korben Dallas or the mysterious Leeloo, a woman who holds the secret to the safety of the entire universe.
  3. Mar 07, 2010  I was only comparing it to the Fifth Element in the sense it was unique not that they are similar in style or story. I suppose Dune is a very different movie, depending on whether you see it as a dramatization of a book that you love, or just a movie (if you haven't read the book).
  4. A video game adaptation of The Fifth Element was created by Activision for the PlayStation game console and PC in 1998. The PlayStation version was generally met with negative reviews, though the PC version was better received.

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that 'There's some mild entertainment to be had here, but only if you're willing to overlook the shortcomings - and frankly, these are legion. Don't expect many fresh surprises, or for that matter, much fun.'[8]

The game received mainly negative reviews for the PlayStation version, but positive reviews for the PC version. GameRankings gave it a score of 32% for the former (based on 7 reviews)[12] and 82% for the latter (based on 1 review).[11]

GameSpot gave the game 2.4 out of 10, with the reviewer calling it 'quite possibly the worst game I've ever played'.[6]Game Revolution gave the game an 'F' rating, concluding 'Poor level design.. boring puzzles.. it just never ends, but I can't go on. Let me sum it up by saying that The Fifth Element is simply not fun to play. Not even a little bit.'[5]IGN gave the game 5 out of 10, stating 'All in all, this adventure/action game does what all of the other games in the genre do, but not in any way better.'[7] The only positive reviews came from GamePro, which gave the game three-and-a-half stars out of five,[4] and from Game Informer, which gave the game 7 out of 10, but quipped that 'Unfortunately, the control is cumbersome, the camera sometimes jumps or sticks, and the enemies prove to be rather dumb. Rent it first, but if you really like the movie, you'll probably like the game too.'[3]

As much as some of us at ZONE despised the mess of sci-fi appropriation that was Luc Besson's The Fifth Element, no one could deny it had one or two cool moments.

Aside from the fifth element herself bouncing around in a few strips of bandage, the obvious highlight was the vertiginous taxi ride through a futuristic New York, diving and dodging through insanely interweaving layers of airborne traffic. It was one of those classic 'made to be a videogame' moments, and the only surprise is that it's taken this long for someone to do it. While no official licence exists, New York Race is the obvious result of that moment.

With intense high-speed racing and futuristic flying cars, the other clear reference point for NY Race is the WipEout series. Many familiar elements from those games are present, including a choice of flying cars, various weapon pick-ups and turbo boosts, as well as a resolutely arcade aesthetic and suitably effects-laden visuals. The main difference is the replacement of the narrow twisting tracks of WipEout with the skyscrapers and canyon-like streets of a futuristic New York. And instead of just hovering a bit, the vehicles truly fly, adding an extra level of insanity to the proceedings.

We've been keeping our eye on the very similarly styled Beam Breakers in the works at German outfit Similis, but NY Race surprised us at ECTS with better visuals and a more convincing design style. Kalisto have even employed the person responsible for the original taxi scenes in The Fifth Element as a designer on the game. We'll keep you informed on what could become an interesting race.
