Malice

Overview

Malice is perhaps best known for its long development cycle. It was shown by Microsoft prior to the launch of the first Xbox possibly in hopes of developing a Mario killer for the system. Around this time it was announced that Gwen Stefani would be voicing the titular character. Eventually, Microsoft dropped the title and it was picked up by a third party now for both the PS2 and Xbox. Around this time Stefani also dropped out of the project. The game was finally released in 2004, three years after being first shown, to generally negative reviews.
