ELECTRONIC ARTS AND PSEUDO INTERACTIVE SHIP WACKY, CARTOON-INSPIRED ACTION RACING IN CEL DAMAGE FOR NINTENDO GAMECUBE
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., January 8, 2002 - Enter the wacky world of cartoon animation filled with auto combat and mayhem. Under the EA GAMES(tm) brand, Electronic Arts and Pseudo Interactive announce the release of Cel Damage for the Nintendo GameCube video game system from Nintendo®. EA previously, in fall 2001, released Cel Damage for the Xbox(tm) video game system from Microsoft®.
Cel Damage uses cel animation technology that allows the game to look and feel like a unique hand-painted cartoon universe. The constant wacky action takes place in 12 interactive levels spread over four themed worlds of a universe controlled by 'toon characters ranging in style from Fowl Mouth, modeled on an old black and white cartoon duck from the '30s, to an anime-style manga girl named Violet and a rude, crude, gross-out 'toon named Sinder. Cel Damage initially offers six unique 'toon characters and challenges the player to unlock four additional characters for a total of 10. Adding to the overall game experience, each of the characters owns a unique vehicle as well as specialized weapon.
The game offers three different modes of gameplay - Smack Attack, Flag Rally and Gate Relay. Cel Damage features a total of 36 outrageous weapons such as giant axes, portable black holes, shrink rays, mallets, harpoons, machine guns and more. Cel Damage will support up to four players in multiplayer mode via split screen.
Cel Damage for the Nintendo GameCube carries a "T" (Teen) ESRB rating and MSRP of US$49.99. Cel Damage for the Nintendo GameCube and Xbox is developed by Pseudo Interactive, a Toronto-based development company. The game is co-published by EA and Pseudo Interactive.
