Atlantis: The Lost Empire – Trial by Fire is a 2001 first-person shooter game developed by Zombie Studios and published by Disney Interactive. It was released on May 18, 2001, for Microsoft Windows. The game is based on the film Atlantis: The Lost Empire.[1]
The first levels correspond to Atlantis: The Lost Empire – Search for the Journal, which was distributed separately weeks earlier in 2001, as a demo to promote Trial by Fire. It was released for free in children's magazines, DVDs, Kellogg's cereal boxes, and in pharmacies.[2][3] The game was also offered as a free download through Disney Interactive's website in June 2001.[4]
Gameplay
[edit]This game mainly follows the events in the movie. The player begins on the USS Ulysses as the Leviathan is attacking, and must escape through the underwater cave system on a subpod, evading Leviathan spawn. The player must navigate through the caverns to Atlantis, and solve puzzles to reach the crystal at the end of the game.
