Deep Silver Announces Igor The Game

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 Electronic Theatre Imageterritories, 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.
