INFOGRAMES BRINGS THE ACTION OF STUART LITTLE 2™ TO THE SMALL SCREEN
Stuart Little 2™ CD-ROM Game to Launch In Time for New Motion Picture
Stuart Little 2 follows in the success of the first Stuart Little movie and PC CD-ROM game of the same name, and is sure to be one of the summer’s biggest family movies.
“With the Stuart Little 2 PC CD-ROM game, kids get to take the Stuart Little movie experience home with them for extended fun on their PC,” said Nancy MacIntyre, vice president of marketing for Infogrames, Inc. Beverly Studio. “Stuart Little is adored by kids everywhere and we’re thrilled to be working with Sony Pictures Consumer Products again to create a new interactive Stuart experience.”
Stuart Little is back in the action in Stuart Little 2! His new friend Margalo is missing and players must help Stuart rescue her from the evil Falcon and retrieve Mrs. Little’s missing ring. In five challenging games based on key action scenes from the movie, players test Stuart’s skateboarding, driving, flying, jumping, and even puzzle-solving skills as he navigates pipes, sidewalks, buildings, roof tops, and even the airspace above Central Park!
The game’s 3-D style graphics bring Stuart to life on the PC just like in the movie. Players can experience Stuart Little 2 through Story Mode or Free Play, where kids can play their favorite adventure again and again! The “Bonus Gallery” features stills direct from the Stuart Little 2 movie, which kids can print for fun off the computer.
Developed by Hyperspace Cowgirls, Stuart Little 2 for Windows 95® and Higher is appropriate for ages 4 and up and will be available in June 2002 for an approximate retail price of $19.99.
