Were are getting pretty close to the release of the Ghost Rider movie and the marketing department is turning up the heat! Today we have a third TV spot and a preview for the video gme.

Rather than re-creating the movie in video game form, the developers have set the Ghost Rider game’s storyline after the movie and turned it into a fan service package of sorts; it will contain characters and elements from the comics not seen in the movie. But for the uninitiated, Ghost Rider is a stuntman named Johnny Blaze by day (played in the movie by Nicolas Cage) who sells his soul in exchange for the hellish powers that turn his head into a flaming skull and let him look all badass riding around on a motorcycle and wearing a lot of black leather.

In addition to Mephisto, who serves as the main bad guy in the movie, fans of Ghost Rider can expect to do battle with other villainous mainstays from the series, such as Scarecrow, Lilith, and Blackout. Comic writers Garth Ennis and Jimmy Palmiotti (the former of whom has worked on the Ghost Rider book in the past) collaborated with the developers on the game’s story, which will hopefully lend the game the authenticity that diehard fans crave.
