Aliens in the Attic
Coming to a Video Game Console Near You July 28, 2009
Playlogic and Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising to release the
action-adventure game based on the soon-to-be released film
Playlogic
Entertainment, Inc. , an independent
worldwide publisher of entertainment software, and Twentieth Century Fox
Licensing & Merchandising (Fox Licensing) announced today that Aliens in
the Attic, the family friendly, action–adventure video game based on
the Twentieth Century Fox movie, will be available in retail stores nationwide
on July 28 — three days in advance of the film’s
nationwide release. The new game will be available for the Wii™ system,
Nintendo DS™, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system and Windows PC.
The
Aliens in the Attic
video game will follow the storyline of the
adventure-comedy film about a group of kids on a family vacation who must stave
off an attack by knee-high alien invaders with world-conquering ambitions; all
while trying to keep their parents from finding out! The video game will offer
players two different gameplay perspectives depending upon which video game
platform players choose.
“Aliens
in the Attic provides endless
hours of fun for the whole family,” said Rogier Smit, executive vice president
for Playlogic. “Fox has created a movie full of heart-pumping action, thrills,
comedy and good old fashion entertainment and we’ve translated those features
right into the gameplay.”
Aliens in the
Attic for DS puts players in the shoes of the movie’s main characters;
Tom, Hannah and their cousin Jake. Players will use the children’s abilities –
Hanna’s jump skill, Tom’s engineering skills and Jake’s weapon knowledge – to
rid the planet, and the upstairs, from the nasty invaders. This action packed
version of the game features multiple levels within each beautifully designed
gameplay area and is loaded with boss fights, tons of puzzle elements and a
variety of weapons to choose from including grenades and a customizable gun.
Aliens in the
Attic
for Wii, PS2 and PC gives players a
whole new way to experience the storyline by allowing them to assume the
identity of one of four different alien explorers whose mission it is to take
over the summer home, and possibly the world! This version of the game features
15 exciting levels that are carried out in four different locations. Plus,
players can switch between characters on the fly for fast-paced action!
“Aliens in the Attic
is a great summer family film and provides a storyline that is perfect for
gaming,” said Gary Rosenfeld, Senior Vice President, New Media for Fox
Licensing. “Playlogic has created a game that will extend the film experience
for gamers of all ages.”
Aliens in the Attic
the movie, co-scripted by one of the writers of
Madagascar and the
Academy Award®-winning Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbits, is an
adventure/comedy about kids on a family vacation who must fight off an attack by
knee-high alien invaders with world-destroying ambitions—while the youngsters'
parents remain clueless about the battle.
