Deep Silver have announced that they will publish the game Igor
The Game for the PC, Wii and NintendoDS in the European PAL
territories, the French overseas
territories,
the Commonwealth of Independent States, South Africa, Australia, and
New Zealand.
The Igor The Game videogames are produced by I2G and Legacy
Interactive. They are based on the animated movie of the same title
by Exodus Film Group, distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
Igor opens in the United States on September 19th,
2008 and features the voice talents of artists such as John Cusack,
Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jay Leno and Christian Slater. The movie
will benefit from a worldwide distribution for the Holidays of 2008.
Igor is a playfully irreverent comedy with a new twist on the
classic Evil Scientist/Monster genre and tells the story about an
evil scientist’s hunchbacked lab assistant, Igor, who has big dreams
of becoming an evil scientist in his own right and winning the
coveted first place award at the annual Evil Science Fair. But,
instead of creating a dangerous monster for the competition, Igor
creates the amiable Eva instead. His attempts to convince Eva to
behave like a real monster lead to numerous entanglements. With a
lot of humour involved, both the movie and the games commemorate the
Monster Movie genre of the classic Hollywood era.
The games will closely follow the storyline of the movie. The PC and
Wii versions will become a varied Action-Adventure game allowing
players to control all four main characters: Igor, Eva and their two
friends, Brain and Scamper. The NintendoDS version will allow
players to design their monster individually by adding new body
parts, and compete against other scientists’ creatures via a
thrilling puzzle combat system. Hundreds of possibilities enable
players to create truly individual monsters. Igor The Game is
scheduled for release on all platforms this October. |
