Aqua Teen
Hunger Force
Zombie Ninja
Pro-Am is an
epic,
action-adventure
combat golf,
cart racing
game that
gives fans
an
opportunity
to
experience
the Aqua
Teen
universe in
a whole new
way. When
Frylock is
admitted to
the
prestigious
Jersey Pines
Golf Club,
Master Shake
decides to
show the
uppity
members that
he is also
just as good
(and uppity)
and deserves
a place in
their
exclusive
club.
Meatwad is,
of course,
persuaded to
join in, and
the three
crime-fighting
food
products use
golf clubs
and a
variety of
other
weapons in
ways not
intended as
they battle
numerous
villains,
fan
favorites
and other
show
characters.
"Aqua Teen
Hunger Force
is a unique
and
completely
hilarious
property,"
said Steve
Allison,
chief
marketing
officer,
Midway. "We
are working
closely with
Aqua Teen
creators
Matt
Maiellaro
and Dave
Willis to
bring the
tone of the
TV show and
movie into a
video game."
"We are
thrilled to
be bringing
the
hilarious
antics of
Adult Swim's
Aqua Teen
Hunger Force
to a one of
kind gaming
experience,"
said
Christina
Miller, VP
of Consumer
Products for
Cartoon
Network
Enterprises,
the
network's
global
merchandising
division.
"This game
will set a
new standard
for
crime-fighting,
golf-obsessed,
food
battles."
"This golden
chalice
represents a
new age in
gaming, the
likes of
which has
never before
been seen on
this planet.
The weak
will tremble
at the
awesomeness
of our full
color,
hand-made
graphics!"
said
creators
Maiellaro
and Willis
simultaneously
and in
unison.
