EIDOS' WHIPLASH
SMASHES INTO RETAILERS
Copyright 2003 Eidos Press Release
[ November 20th 2003 ]
Eidos
plc, one of the world's leading publishers and
developers of entertainment software, today announced
that it has shipped Whiplash for PlayStation 2
computer entertainment system and Xbox video game
system to retailers in North America. Developed
by Crystal Dynamics, Whiplash delivers an innovative
approach to the character-based action genre by
combining a unique "chain" gameplay mechanic with
in-depth enemy and environment interaction, rich
combat and slapstick humor. The result is an action-packed
game where player choice triggers an unscripted
chain of chaotic, humorous events.
Whiplash
is set in a high-tech product testing facility
where questionable experiments are conducted on
animals. This madcap adventure stars two animal
fugitives, Spanx and Redmond, with two very different
personalities. As a result of extensive electric-shock
testing, Spanx is a loose cannon with a crazy
streak. Redmond is a smart-alecky rabbit who has
been the subject of some embarrassing cosmetics
testing. Both characters are trying to escape
the lab. There's one problem however - they're
chained together.
As Spanx,
you will use Redmond (much to his dismay), as
your tool and weapon to not only escape, but also
to free other enslaved animals and bankrupt the
corporation by destroying their property. For
example, dip Redmond in toxic waste to poison
enemies (Radioactive Rabbit), shock him to zap
attackers (Electro-Static Rabbit), or stuff him
in a toilet creating a foul flood to ward off
foes (Hare Clog). "Whiplash's comically mismatched
heroes, side-splitting humor, clever game mechanics
and non-stop frenetic action provides a completely
fresh and insanely fun experience for gamers of
all ages," says Renee Pletka, Product Manager,
Eidos.
