"With 'S.W.I.N.E.,' we're offering up what is easily the most irreverent game of the season, but we're also providing the best real-time strategy experience the gaming world has seen for some time," said Jerry Wolosenko, head of Fishtank Interactive activities in North America. "These scenarios require clever exploitation of terrain and players' skills. Although you'll be chuckling throughout the game, you'll find it takes strategy and experience to really master the world of 'S.W.I.N.E.'"

On August third, The Pig National Army (P.N.A.) crossed a border and changed history forever. The P.N.A, arrogant and full of expansionist land-lust, invaded the homeland of the peaceful, fun loving Rabbits. Carrotland fell in less than two weeks when the Pigs burned rabbit homes and laid siege to the capital city. The Swine's leader is the notorious SteelFang, who in the guise of progress, wreaks havoc upon the innocent bunnies. The pigs pillage and plunder for Iron Tusk, dictator of the Pig nation.

The army advances rapidly, initially destroying the surprised and outnumbered rabbit forces. But elements of the plucky rabbit army survive, regroup and wage a guerilla-style counteroffensive. The army is small, but well equipped and ready to strike back. Now to ensure success, they need a resourceful leader whose strategy will result in the destruction of the evil pig regime.

As you manipulate resources to advance, you will be inundated with a barrage of hilarious announcements, order confirmations and wisecracks guaranteed to keep everyone in stitches. Since the game uses a fully three dimensional map you will experience a real time strategy game at a whole new level.
