Criminals beware! Starting July 21, 2006, movie enthusiasts, video gamers and even people looking to score some cash will have an entirely new challenge with Underground Bounty Hunter — a heart-pumping online game featuring live-action movie-like video scenes. The first episode (10 are planned) has 10 levels and combines the life-like excitement of a full-length feature film with the principles of a problem-solving, action-packed video game. More noteworthy is that unlike typical movies or video games, Underground Bounty Hunter players compete for real prizes — including $100,000, the possibility of other high-end prizes and a movie role in the next Underground Bounty Hunter episode.

In Underground Bounty Hunter, the player becomes the bounty hunter chasing the most corrupt villains hidden in the underbelly of the crime world, encountering a cast of prostitutes, murderers, drug dealers, mobsters and other illicit characters in order to locate and destroy or capture the villain he’s pursuing. Each scene offers an action-packed sequence that jeopardizes the bounty hunter’s life. The player must find clues to help advance him to the next level. If a scene is misinterpreted, and the player enters the incorrect clues, the Underground Bounty Hunter is in danger of being shot, killed or captured. The first player to successfully complete all the levels and capture the wanted criminal receives a real cash prize of $100,000. Additionally, the longer the game proceeds with the villain still at large, the longer the criminal has to accumulate more riches and, since the winning bounty hunter gets to keep the bounty and the criminal’s loot, the larger the prize pool can potentially get. This potential additional loot may include sports cars, powerboats, plasma televisions or other high-ticket items. Each episode will have its own bounty of cash and prizes, offering players numerous opportunities to win, but only one person is slated to win the movie role at this time.

Players must be at least 18-years old and each opportunity to successfully capture the criminal will cost $25.
