“The Raid 2” Video Game Offers A Chance To Win A Bloody XBox One Michael Lee, April 9, 2014 Video games adapted into film, and films adapted into video games are very common. And while neither one turn out very good, some offer a glimmer of hope that it can be done right. That notion falls into the latter since video games adapted from films like X-Men: Origins and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World have done very well both commercially and critically. To help promote the wide release of the The Raid 2, the film is getting a video game of it’s own, and the best part, you don’t even have to buy it. Even better, Sony Pictures Classic, XYZ Films, and eOne Entertainment is offering a chance to win an XBox One.

And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.
