2004 video game
American McGee Presents: Scrapland is a game developed by MercurySteam , with American McGee as an executive producer and published by Enlight Software . A remastered version was released for Windows on December 13, 2021.[1]
Setting [ edit ]
Scrapland ' s story is set in the robot-populated world of the same name, also known by the inhabitants as Chimera, which seems like a giant asteroid vastly industrialized as a metropolis and surrounded by a world-scaled energy field and an orbital ring, both used to control entrance and exit of the planet.
Development and release [ edit ]
According to American McGee , the game was designed and produced by Enrique Alvarez, the studio head at MercurySteam . McGee refers to himself as a "marketing tool".[2] Alvarez pitched the idea for Scrapland to McGee while McGee was working as an executive producer at Enlight .[3] The game was in development for 2 years.[4]
The game was initially released for Windows in North America on November 4, 2004.[5] A port for Xbox shipped on March 4, 2005, and arrived on store shelves three days later on March 7.[6] Both versions were released in Europe on March 18, 2005.[7] The Xbox port was released in Australia on April 7, 2005.[8]
Reception [ edit ]
Scrapland received "average" reviews on both platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic .[25] [26] Game Informer criticized the Xbox version's on-foot sections, "which would appear to be in the game for the sole purpose of annoying people. Scrap indeed."[13] IGN gave the same console version a more positive review, saying "I would have liked to have seen more variety and lateral flexibility in the single-player... Overall, the game's refreshing sense of personality wins out over everything else."[22]
The editors of Computer Gaming World nominated Scrapland for their 2004 "Action Game of the Year" award, which ultimately went to The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay .[27]
