Perhaps you're one of the 28 million + people who have picked up one of the Animorphs' books. Or perhaps you're one of the millions of people hooked on the Animorphs TV series which airs Sunday nights on Nickelodeon Prime Time. In any case, all Animorph fans have reason to get excited this E3...
If you've never heard of Animorphs, you've obviously been living under a rock for the past few years. Anyway, we won't hold it against you. Here's the scoop on the series: it's about five teenagers on a hoeroic mission to save the world from ruthless alien brain-invaders. Empowered with the ability to transform into any animal they touch, the five "Animorphs" must battle and outsmart the evil aliens...before it's too late.
So how, you ask, will this premise translate in to great gameplay? Read on...
Travelling through the game's enormous, gorgeously rendered environments, Players will step into the minds and morphs of the key characters. A series of conflicts with alien Controllers from across the galaxy will culminate in the ultimate showdown with the leader of the invasion: Visser Three.
If you think this will be just another 3D action-adventure game with a big license, think again. GT has tasked one of its top production houses with the development and production of the first Animorphs game; you can be sure they'll deliver an experience that does justice to this fantastic series. Without giving awsay too many of their secrets, the developers confirmed that the game will feature a proprietary "morphing" technology to bring to life a number of teen to beast transformations.
With this amazing technology, awesome story line and appealing characters, Animorphs will undoubtedly be at the top of everyone's "must have" list when it comes out next year.
