MAJESCO
ENTERTAINMENT
SHIPS 'WILD
EARTH:
AFRICAN
SAFARI' FOR
Wii™
EDISON,
N.J., April
22, 2008 -
Today on
Earth Day,
Majesco
Entertainment
Company
(NASDAQ:
COOL), an
innovative
provider of
video games
for the mass
market,
announced it
has shipped
Wild Earth:
African
Safari for
Wii™ to
retail
outlets
nationwide.
Wild Earth
promotes
environmental
awareness by
teaching
players
about more
than 30
different
species of
exotic
animals
within their
natural
African
habitat.
In Wild
Earth:
African
Safari,
players
assume the
role of a
photo-journalist
on
assignment
in Africa's
Serengeti
National
Park.
Throughout
the game's
11 missions,
adventurous
photographers
seeking out
award-winning
pictures can
cruise the
Park by land
or air to
investigate
the bold
hyena in a
midday
thunderstorm
or observe
the gentle
giraffe
grazing in
the valley.
While
seeking the
perfect
picture of
cheetahs,
rhinos,
lions,
zebras and
many more
species,
players must
refrain from
getting too
close to the
animals or
disrupting
the natural
landscape;
if they do,
the Impact
Meter will
rumble the
Wii Remote™
and make it
harder to
snap a
steady
picture.
Two new
features
exclusive to
the Wii
version
include a
cooperative
multiplayer
mode that
allows up to
four friends
to either
drive or
shoot
photographs,
and a Safari
Arcade Game
mode where
gamers can
play from
the animals'
perspective
in 11 games
using
intuitive
gestures
with the Wii
Remote. In
addition, an
inspiring
soundtrack
from world
music label,
Talking Drum
Records,
lends an
atmospheric
backdrop to
the game.
Developed by
Super X
Studios,
Wild Earth
African
Safari is
rated E for
Everyone,
and is now
available
for a
suggested
retail price
of $29.99.
