"Every five thousand years a door opens between the dimensions. In another exists an element not made of earth, air, fire or water but of anti-energy, of anti-life. This thing waits patiently at the threshold of the universe. For an opportunity to extinguish all life and all light."
Every five thousand years the world needs a hero. Or in this case two. You'll take on the rolls of both Korben Dallas and Leeloo, as they fight through 15 stages to save the earth.
The Game
Taking in all the atmosphere of Luc Besson's hit movie, the gameplay itself is a carefully balanced combination of skill, exploration, and combat. As you make your way through the 15 distinct 3D levels, you'll be using your agility to leap across precarious platforms, solve puzzles, and kill the baddies.
Graphics and visuals.
Developers Kalisto worked with members of the movies art team to recreate the film's visual look. The colourful atmosphere and style were further enhanced by the use of Luc Besson's original drawings and design sketches for the film.
The game's richly detailed 3D graphics will run on standard PC video cards, though there is also a direct 3D mode, and native support for Power VR and 3DFX based video cards.
Music
There are 12 music themes in the game. Eric Serra, composer of the original movie soundtrack (and the soundtracks for other films including The Big Blue and Leon) wrote an additional track for the game, and worked with the Kalisto musicians to recapture the musical atmosphere of the movie.
Cut Scenes
Cinematic sequences, taken straight from the film, appear regularly - plunging you into the 5th Element universe with your favorite actors.
