THQ doing WALL•E game News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS Xbox 360 Mobile PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

3 January, 2008

THQ will be making a videogame version of Pixar's latest offering, WALL•E, and should be releasing it this summer to coincide with the launch of the film.

Well, Heavy Iron Studios, which is part of THQ, will be the ones actually making it, and those clever men and women will be assembling it for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP, PC, Mac and mobile.

WALL•E is the typically comedic Pixar tale of the last robot on earth, who seems to have been left to run around doing what he's meant for while humanity's scarpered, and what happens when he bands together with some malfunctioning fellow robots on a journey across the universe to do something and so on.

The game features ten worlds, with storyline, characters and locations from the film, plus some new bits, and head-to-head multiplayer challenges. It all adds up to a "fast-paced adventure game" according to THQ.

"fast paced adventure game" = "average 3rd person platformer / collect-em-up"

I think Jobs is actually the largest Disney shareholder now, isn't he? But no, they're not sister companies, and I doubt that has anything to do with it getting a Mac release. Jobs really doesn't care about gaming, he's demonstrated that many times.

Steve Jobs was CEO of Pixar until it was bought by Disney. Now he is on the Board of Directors at Disney and their largest individual shareholder.

The film looks interesting, I've not seen a Pixar films since The Incredibles but I quite fancy this one.

The game, not so much. They should get the folks who made the Meet the Robinsons game to do it, that one was pretty decent for a licensed kids game.

GAME INFO: " WALL•E "

About sums it up?

EDIT: Was the "bull" part that was the joke, yet clever auto-formatting renders it desperately unfunny... Except on the column up to the left where normal formatting rules do not apply. I'm done.
