Chicken Hunter for the Nintendo Wii is a 3-D jump 'n' run played from a third-person perspective. The main character carries two tools: A wooden mallet that can be used to hammer down enemies on the ground and a pumpkin gun that rapidly fires pumpkin seeds at airborne attackers. In the jump 'n' run levels in which the character runs, jumps, hammers and shoots alternate with levels in which the chicken rides piggyback on other characters of the Chicken Hunter universe. The gameplay of the ride sequences will differ significantly from the jump 'n' run sequences ensuring a great variety of different challenges throughout the whole game.

Features:

• 3-D jump 'n' run featuring the character from 'Chicken Hunter' with 4 different game modes
• Single-player Campaign Mode including classical jump 'n' run sequences as well as piggyback rides on a frog, a turtle and a ram
• 2-player split screen multiplayer races
