“We are excited to work with industry-leading developers year after year to create and distribute a stellar lineup of world-class entertainment titles,” said Peter Young, Executive Vice President & General Manager of Hip Games™. “Dog’s Life, and Around the World in 80 Days are two of many innovative and engaging offerings from Hip Games™ that will enthrall gamers and keep them coming back for more in 2004.”
Developed under the direction of David ‘Elite’ Braben, Dog’s Life by Hip Games™ for PlayStation®2 is an adventure of canine proportion. Players experience the world as never before as Jake, a loveable mutt on a mission across the United States to rescue his dog-napped comrade Daisy. Using ‘Smellovision™’, a unique game mode that relies on dog’s sense of smell to explore rich, action-packed environments, players go paw-to-paw against neighborhood hounds in an all-out battle royale. Throw in two game modes, and numerous unlockable mini-games for an unforgettable journey à la Lassie.
Hip Games™ is also set to bring the excitement of Disney’s soon-to-be released summer hit Around the World in 80 Days starring Jackie Chan straight to Game Boy® Advance. Fabulous adventures, hilarious predicaments and exhilarating action await on this frantic, heart-pounding around-the-world race. As Passepartout (Jackie Chan), players journey to the farthest reaches of the globe, including London, Paris, Turkey, India, China, San Francisco and New York by land, sea and air. At every turn, battle opponents intent on delaying the completion of the trip of a lifetime.
Other titles from Hip Games™ include CT Special Forces 3 and Sitting Ducks™ for Game Boy® Advance.
