The Secrets of EA's Catwoman

Let's get this over with. I like the Catwoman game. I'm not even going to try to justify my love for it. It was frustrating as hell, but it has a certain charm. What other game lets you collect bling? Anyways, for some reason or another I was looking at it the other day and noticed a few things.

The title screen changes to add a "Special Edition" tag after you enter a code found while playing the game. Where they originally planning to release two versions?

In another unlockable section I found this concept drawing of Catwoman fighting a Giant Enemy Crab.


The thing that most people remember about this game is the unique idle animation. After about a minute of standing still, the Halle Berry simulacrum begins to bump, grind, wink, ask if you "Like what you see?" and beckons you to "Come closer baby", all the while fondling her digital bits to a low key techno beat. It really must be seen to be believed.

So here's a clip I made of the game doing just that for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
