Activision has provided us with fact sheet for the upcoming 'Over the Hedge' game that will be available on XBOX, PS2, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo Gamecube and PC.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Based on the highly-anticipated feature film from DreamWorks Animation, Over
the Hedge is a wildly adventurous game that takes players
on an interactive adventure beyond the story seen in the film. Assuming
the roles of RJ the raccoon, Verne the turtle, Hammy the squirrel and Stella
the skunk, players turn a suburban neighborhood loaded with dangerous obstacles
and traps into their own personal playground. Numerous puzzles and mini-games
keep fans busy as they switch between two of the four main characters or
engage in two player co-op with friends.
KEY FEATURES:
• The Only Game That Lets Players Relive Movie Moments
And Beyond - In over 30 mission-filled levels, gamers can switch
between two characters on the fly, or select multiplayer mode to join forces
with a friend. Gamers interact with all characters from the film, as well
as all-new characters that live only in the game. The fast-paced adventure
takes place in more than 10 new locations not featured in the film including
the exterminator's lab, the sewers, and the wild Western theme park.
• Over The Hedge Lets Players
Experience The Camaraderie And Wacky Adventures Of Four Woodland Creatures
As They Take Over Suburbia – In an attempt to free captured friends
and rob the humans of their beloved food, players master each character's
special moves and learn how to use them to work together. Special
moves include: RJ's “golf ball barrage,” Verne's “spinning shell attack,” Hammy's “Hammy
time” which allows him to streak around and overcome opponents in the blink
of an eye, and Stella's “stink.” Players move on to gain new abilities that
allow each animal to perform advanced combo attacks as well as pick up hidden
tools and armor.
• With An Exciting Multiplayer Mode, Players Work Together
To Survive The Suburban Neighborhood – When playing with a friend
gamers go on multiplayer co-op quests to fill their wagon with food. They
barge through closed windows, fenced-in yards and laser-guarded homes, performing
the ultimate heist in order to locate and free captured friends.
• Fast-Paced Minigames Add To The Challenges Of A Suburb
Gone Wild – Gamers can unlock fast-paced mini-games like “Golf Cart
Derby,” “RC (radio-controlled) Car Racing” and “Suburban Mini Golf” as players
take on side challenges to win energy-filled snacks or powered-up weapons
and items.
