Parliament is a level that was cut from MediEvil 2. According to Jason Wilson, the game's art designer, it was intended as the battle ground for fighting a monstrous version of Queen Victoria, the original final boss of the game. It was redesigned after the Queen was replaced by the Demon as the final boss.[2] Julian Rex, one of the game's programmers, mentioned a Prime Minister character may have featured in the level.[3]

The only references to the level in the final versions of the game are in its language text files.[1.1] However, the level is playable in the MediEvil 2 0.19 build of the game, although it seems to only feature the level map with placeholder textures.

Notes

  1. Boss fights in MediEvil 2 are generally their own separate level, so it is likely Queen Victoria would have been fought in a level bearing her name that was separate from Parliament, e.g. Queen-zilla, Queen Victoria, The Queen, etc.
