The original Maximo: Ghosts to Glory is a 3D hack and slash platform game based in the Ghosts n’ Goblins universe, developed by Capcom for the PlayStation 2. A sequel, Maximo vs. Army of Zin was released in 2003. A thirth game was going to be developed by the same team (Capcom Production Studio 8), but after only 3 months into development it was canned due to lower than expected sales from Maximo 2. Studio 8 was also closed by Capcom in 2006. [Info from Wikipedia]

Only few concept arts and some pages from the design doc remain to preserve the existence of this interesting project.

That’s sad I really enjoyed the two Maximo games. Though from the way Maximo 2 ended it was always obvious a third game was intended.

A great series laid to rest, to early and to young. We will miss you Maximo. Even though you were hard as hell with your punishing difficulty. We still loved you because we took the time to find the hours of fun to be had with you. We just hope that you can once again make a deal with Death to bring you back for one more chance. But if impossible then this is or last goodbye, so goodbye Maximo… we wont forget your legacy.

Maximo was awesome, I think it was poorly advertised. I stumbled onto part 1 and loved it. Part 2 rocked. If they were to release a remake of parts one and two remade with trophy content like they are doing with god of war and then rock out a part three that would really kick some butt. Maximo for life!

i enjoyed this game very much. i thought that this game wasn’t promoted very well and could have been marketed better. i am very disappointed to see that the third game was cancelled,i put several hours into this adventure only to find out that i will not be able to end this adventure. do you understand that the adventure needs to be finished! this story or another similar adventure could be re- introduced for ps3 .thanks for the good start,i did not like the end. trevor

I thought Maximo 2 was great! I can’t believe that there’s not going to be a third installment of this series. I have been waiting for Maximo 3 all this time only to find out that now there’s not going to be one. I am very disappointed.

A few years ago I was part of a focus group for Capcom regarding this game, which was in development by Production Studio 8. Myself and a few others got to see an early version of it. It’s really too bad that this ended up getting canned when they shut the studio down.

I’m sorry to read that, I haven’t played Maximo 1, but the second was GREAT, one of my classic favorites of the PS2 (Wishing to get it on PS3 at least as PSN downloadable).
